Have you ever wanted to know more about the world of my novels, from the array of species that inhabit it, to depictions of elements from various stories shown in a different perspective? Then this collection is the tale for you...

This book consists of worldbuilding footnotes and details about my stories' universe, and a collection of the various species that have appeared in my novels up to the present point, as well as various forms of literature, from short stories, to fictional guides, to poetry, and other experimental writing, each piece related to one of my past novels in some way or another. 

This anthology is an ongoing project, which means it will be updated as new parts are added, be it new poetry or short stories, new species and other updates that may come in when new novels are written in the future. While much of this collection is intended as a worldbuilding guide, it also serves as a testing ground to experiment with different writing styles and ideas. Dark Shards also offers readers a deeper insight or a unique perspective on a certain story or its elements.

Plot Generator Stories and Ideas by IslandRomanceWriter

I love to mess around with plot generators, and recently I've found one that gives me a full short story too. I, of course, started to mess around with these and found them to be quite fun. These can be uploaded once a day as there is like zero thought process involved from me here (besides attaching my name). PS: For anyone who wants to take a story or plot from here and build or expand on it, you can go right ahead. Just let me know where to check them out, so I can see how creative you are.

We Will Find Our Redemption by karmaawhy

Welcome to a world inspired by the haunting lore of the acclaimed games, Darkest Dungeon I and II, crafted by the masterful hands of RedHook Inc. Games. This narrative is a transposition, a daring exploration into the abyss of the Darkest Dungeon universe. The ethereal essence of these games, with their ominous atmospheres and foreboding narratives, serves as the fertile ground upon which this story sprouts its sinister roots. A convergence of dread and fascination awaits, paying homage to the visionary developers who birthed this grim masterpiece. A symphony of darkness awaits, each chapter resonating with the echoes of despair and the crescendo of haunting melodies. As you immerse yourself in this odyssey, remember that the rights to the titles, names, graphics, and all other details lie with the Development Team and the modders who birthed the original visions. This novel is a labor of love, a tribute to the creators who have given life to nightmares and the modders who have extended its reach. So, dear reader, embrace the shadows, for within them lies a tapestry of fantasy woven with threads borrowed from the very fabric of Darkest Dungeon's essence. Your journey begins, and the darkness beckons. Enjoy, but tread carefully, for the boundaries between reality and nightmare may blur, and the echoes of the dungeon may linger even after the final page is turned. I highly suggest to read this without looking into any website linked down here to avoid possible spoilers.

Tapestry of intrigues: Unveiling the depth of short stories by Amethystwolf19

I am pleased to present my short stories collection, a compilation of carefully crafted narratives that aim to captivate readers with their depth and intricacy. Each story is meticulously written, with a focus on character development and thought-provoking themes. The collection covers a wide range of genres, from suspenseful thrillers to heartwrenching dramas, ensuring that there is something for every reader's taste. Despite the considerable effort put into this collection, I must express my disappointment with the lack of recognition it has received thus far. The stories within this collection are deserving of a wider audience, as they offer a unique and engaging reading experience. I invite readers to immerse themselves in the world of my short stories and discover the hidden gems within.

A Year of Stories by sbspalding

The goal: A new short story, every weekday, for a year. That's about 260 stories, for anyone keeping count. This is Volume #1, covering January and February stories. Inside you'll find a mix of Fantasy, Literary and Science Fiction, occasionally seasoned with a dash of Horror. Every now and again though, I'll share some more experimental stuff. I really hope you enjoy it!
