h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

The first day of the Hooverville NaJoPoMo project covered Midnight through 1:00 a.m. on the 'first day" of November. The second day, strangely enough, did not touch November second at all, but went back to November First to cover 1:00 a.m. through 2:00 p.m.

This story is apparently observing Aristotle's unities, as menitoned in this guide entry:
A576290

The "unities" are described in that entry as follows:
"The Classical Unities
The three Aristotelian 'Unities' of classical drama are supposed to be the ultimate purist in writing for the stage, an idealised structure which a playwright should strive to include in his work. These Unities are of Time, Place and Action; that is, the events described in a play should ideally be set in 'real time' or at least be set within the space of a single day, in a single place and be concerned with one overriding idea. Of Shakespeare's plays, the one which follows these Unities most closely is The Tempest, as it is set over the space of a day, on an island, and concerns the restoration of the status quo (the end of Prospero's exile, the release of Ariel from his servitude and the marriage of Ferdinand and Miranda)."

Well, Hoovervbilles is arguably not a single "place," but rather a dozen or so different places within a single town.

Is there a single overriding idea? Well, think about the different characters, each of whom has a unique perspective and back story.

So, observing the unity of time without the other two gives us one-third of Aristotle.

Of course, anyone can start a new thread.

Arsenion Philpotts has been planning a high tea for his shop on November 3, and a display of porcelain cuckoo clocks for November 4th. These need to go on as planned.
