Operation Spider Crab

This article is the as-yet-unwritten article about ''the book. For the wiki backup of the WIP book itself, see Operation Spider Crab - A CCRP novel by Tolkienfan.'' Operation Spider Crab is a historical novel being written by Tolkienfan, set in 1718. It is an account of Ptraci II's life shortly before her rise to power, told from the perspective of nineteen-year-old Tracey Sake (who shares with Seyli Toros of Bellatrix's novel 'Run' the distinguishing feature of being one of the only two major female characters in a CCRP novel so far), whose Valanian father and Cancionan mother work in the Inutili-Cancionish Range.

Inspiration
Tolkienfan decided to write the book upon noticing, after a few days' absence in CCRP due to beginning at college, that in four days a trend had sprung up for writing books set in the CCRP world. Being an amateur writer herself, she decided she wanted to do one as well.

As she had spent a lot of her time writing a history of Inutilia for the wiki, she decided she would rewrite part of said history from a more personal perspective. She chose the rise to power of Ptraci II, the first monarch of Inutilia since the Inutilian Revolution of 1465, who demanded and got her birthright from Lord Orange in 1720 and founded the House of Marinis.

Plot
As so far only one chapter has been shared, I see little point in explaining the plot here. I will do so once the fifth chapter has been released. Before then, it really isn't needed.

Reception
The first and only chapter to be released so far has been well-received, if not notably so. Readers appear to be looking forward to the release of the second chapter, which is scheduled for a couple of hours from now.

One reader said: "It'll be nice to have some background context on [Ptraci's] deposing the Patricians."

Conspiracy theories
Several of the more intelligent readers have postulated that Tracey is in fact Ptraci II. They cite as evidence (besides subtle indications in the plot) that when you realise the 'p' in 'Ptraci' is silent, it's pretty obvious that it and Tracey are the same name. They also say that 'it's pretty obvious to anyone who's read the wiki'. Tolkienfan has refused to either confirm or deny these claims, saying that 'that would spoil it for people'.
