Given the quantity of its archives even large donations are not obvious to the outsider or even repeated visitors. It is largely static in nature, stuffy and suffocating. This masks the decay it is sitting upon and the lives worth of human hours it has accumulated. It is slow moving but no less insidious than other places collecting time while providing nothing in return.
What does this mean? I think you need to slim this down because otherwise it doesn't fit in a chart that is meant to be a brief overview of the area's qualities.
Media of which no original or copies can be found in studio vaults, private collections, or public archives.
I'm struggling to rewrite this but I really don't like this sentence. "No original or copies"? How does "Media of which neither the original nor any copies…" sound?
Also, make sure you remember to put punctuation at the end of footnotes such as 2 or 6.
Each of its copies is a unique final copy procured at the time it became lost, either by superhuman conscious effort or an ongoing supernatural phenomenon.
What does this mean? I'd change it to "Each copy within the library is a unique final copy procured at the time it became lost."
A series of master catalog lists are available listing every work available, with one volume at a time available on request to browse.
Avoid repetition.
The media is sorted by its medium, which is then further subdivided into sub-sections depending on the year, month, and day on which it was lost. There is no sorting criteria for genre, author, by the publishing date, etc.
Why say "subdivided"? Just "divided into sub-sections"
The sorting system is not necessary to use if the visitor knows the specific item they are seeking and ask a librarian using sufficient detail. If the request is sufficiently detailed, the librarian will exit through the nearest entrance or portal and disappear, re-appearing through the same door approximately fifteen minutes later with the desired media.
Again, repetition. What does it mean by "entrance or portal"?
with all specific memories becoming ephemeral and dream-like.
What does it mean by "specific memories"? Maybe "memories related to the removed media"?
The layout of the Library itself is sprawling (Sprawling what? I wouldn't leave sprawling by itself). The antechamber having has corridors leading to its separate wings, each dedicated to a different group of mediums section/category/etc. These corridors branch off from one another to a degree that any building in reality would collapse due to a lack of structural integrity to a physically impossible degree. The walls are stacked to the ceiling with whatever medium the explorer is walking towards stocked with whichever medium the explorer is…, with the corridors in different locales being too high to see the edges of or cramped, confined tunnels with irregularity as one progresses through. (?)
The destructiveness of this extinguishing (?) is contingent on how extensive the preparation to avert it was. This had lead led to at least one fatality, with when an explorer with photographic memory sufferinged a brain aneurysm after such an attempt using their total recall. attempting to use their total recall.
Note that total recall and photographic memory are not necessarily one and the same.
It is strongly recommended that those with perfect memory avoid the Library for their own mental health and safety.
Tunneling through the walls does not lead to the other hallways or media selections. It is however possible to tunnel through sufficiently dense caved-in materials in order to proceed deeper inside the Library. The only light fixtures are wall-mounted candlestick holders.
This paragraph seems awkwardly placed- tunneling? Like digging through the walls? If it doesn't lead to other hallways where does it go? And why would an area being denser allow you to proceed deeper? AND WHERE DOES THE SENTENCE ABOUT LIGHT FIXTURES COME FROM
The primary rationale given for visiting the Library is curiosity about its contents, with repeat visitors also citing positive emotional memories or feelings of catharsis they wish to continue revisiting. It appears most patrons of the Library seek out one specific piece of media which they have an emotional connection to, usually stemming from their childhoods.
The Library has not been completely mapped out yet, mainly due to hazardous conditions deeper inside of the Library and long traveling times, which are unnecessary if you are not there intending specifically to explore. both of which are only a concern for those hoping to explore the Library in its entirety. ((Line break here.)) Despite objects further inside the Library being decrepit, each copy which is produced upon request to by the librarians will be in pristine condition. Whether the public-facing (what does that mean?) collection is the same as where the location that the librarians are drawing these contents from remains an open question. Mapping efforts have also been hampered by the fact that working on developing them is impossible outside the Library.
Actually, that makes me think, does a map of the library get blanked once removed? Do they have to keep all maps of the library in the library? Seems obvious but should be mentioned imo
Access to the Library is generally stable and reliable (Go with stable or reliable, but not both). It is not recommended to stay any longer than a few hours, as though time spent there is forgotten it still passes, creating dead air in the life of the repeat visitor. (This sentence needs more work. From what I understand, you're saying that people won't remember the time they spent, meaning that they unintentionally waste their life inside? idk)
TLDR: A lot of grammar issues and some wording that affects the readability of the article. Solid concept, execution needs work.
