What I'm writing
Original Projects
I've got a lot of little self-contained universes for all of my original characters, each with completely different lore, worldbuilding, and realism (i.e. whether there are supernatural elements). In the following pages you will find premise and plot overviews for each of these universes, profiles for the characters that live in them, and some more in-depth explanations of unique worldbuilding concepts. The buttons will get custom art later. Also note! Since most of these are still far from being complete, things written in these pages will likely change drastically as I continue to refine the stories. Also also, big ol' spoiler warning for all of these, obviously! If these ever do turn into finished products you will have already read about many of the big story beats here on this site. You can also skip over the "Story Overview" sections and just look at the nice characters instead.
I still haven't come up with a formal name for this story yet beyond the two characters that it centers around. The tale of an emotionally unwell man who seeks to become immortal to preserve his beauty, and his friend who never forgets about him after his successful mission results in his disappearance.
The Enlightenment ExpeditionSet during the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration, this story follows a crew of one such expedition as they experience many horrors, caused by the human spirit and unknowable natural forces alike. Even the expedition commander doesn't seem to be feeling like himself anymore...
Pale Horse LocomotiveThis story is NOT my original creation, it's my friend robee's, but I've contributed several characters to it and they deserve to be catalogued here on this site. A large cast of whimsical characters, all inspired by unique tarot cards, ride a magical train to many times and places and learn to be the best versions of themselves along the way.
The Show Must Go OnThis dystopian, 1920s-inspired story follows a band performing on a cruiseship to Mars. Many deaths and strange occurrences put everyone on edge, and threaten to pull the band apart as they find themselves in the middle of much of the drama.
Fanfiction
I've also written some fanfics; almost all of them are about Return of the Obra Dinn, though I'm very slowly working on changing that. I have lots of ideas for fics for new fandoms and ones I've already written for, hopefully I'll get the time to make them all become reality. You can check out my AO3 account here, or take a look through the archive I have on this site.
Disclaimer: All of the fics from 2022 and earlier were written when I was a teenager, and the writing often reflects this. I also don't subscribe to a lot of the headcanons presented in these old fics anymore. Nevertheless, there are still some interesting things to be found in them, and they're an important part of my own history and the histories of their respective fandoms.
