Imagine a planet not unlike our own - perhaps even similar to our own. Now, fancy this planet has no moon, but instead rings like Saturn's. Next, picture a civilization here made up not of one species, but too many to count. Maybe there was another intelligent civilization before them that's long passed on. Hell, suppose they had access to some kind of magic.
You're starting to get it.
Keep going. What do these species' physiologies look like? How much have they progressed technologically? Culturally?
What happens after the people of this world die? Their spirits surely go somewhere. Where's that? How do their souls get there?
I've spent quite a few years mulling over these questions and others. I'll continue to mull over these questions for a while yet. For now, though, here are the answers I've come to so far.
This is, of course, an overly dramatic introduction to a worldbuilding project I've had on the boilerplate for some time. Though I wouldn't consider it done, I think I've made enough progress to start showing it off a bit. I intend to do a lot of short writings within this world, exploring large swaths of it over time and posting many of those experiments publicly. And, if I really feel bold down the line, maybe I'll start pitching it to publishers. Only time will tell.
You can read stories written in this world here.
This page functions as a sort of rudimentary wiki for me to document things when I feel like it's worth my time. Or when I'm trying to psych myself up to write something proper. I'm calling it a "wiki-ette" but I came up with that on the spot so don't take that terminology as law.
