Dreamgates is a project that I have been working on for years now.
An idea that has exploded into many branching concepts that I don't think I've seen anyone put together in a story before.
It has its ties to the internet based urban legend known as the Backrooms, but takes a mighty big twist on the concept. Simply because 1). I of course want to write an original story, and 2). It has grown beyond simply existing in a world of liminal spaces and has grown as I have grown.
I have always seen people argue whether or not the Backrooms should have monsters in it.
Keep the liminality! The psychological horror is where it stands the strongest!
And I agree to an extent.
Dreamgates will have both, in balance, but aside from being a horror story- it will be heavily character driven. A sci fi fantasy mystery. A deep look into philosophy and culture and the fate of the universe.
It will be mind bending. A survival game. A battle royale.
A hunt. And a show.
A world full of dark horrors both man and monster.
A world full of light and hope, seeking a new purpose in life.
This is Dreamgates in every way and more.
I welcome you to enjoy the read~

The Backrooms: Echoes of the Abyss
In The Backrooms: Echoes of the Abyss, John, a curious soul with a penchant for exploring abandoned places, stumbles upon a door that leads to a nightmarish labyrinth known as the Backrooms. Endless, monotonous corridors lined with yellowing walls and flickering lights stretch out before him, trapping him in a surreal reality where time and space are distorted. As John navigates the eerie, ever-changing environment, he is plagued by the silence and occasional ominous sounds that hint at something lurking just out of sight. Determined to find an escape, John encounters cryptic signs, shifting rooms, and strange phenomena that seem to defy the laws of physics. Along his journey, he crosses paths with shadowy figures and encounters a mysterious guide who warns him of the trials that lie ahead. John must confront not only the Backrooms' physical challenges but also the emotional and psychological fears they stir within him. The deeper he goes, the more he realizes that the Backrooms are more than a maze-they are a reflection of his innermost struggles and fears. Armed with only his wits and a cryptic key, John is forced to confront a final trial, one that will test his understanding, courage, and resolve. The key to his freedom lies not just in navigating the endless corridors, but in unraveling the truth about himself and the mysterious nature of the Backrooms. The Backrooms: Echoes of the Abyss is a tale of survival, self-discovery, and the psychological toll of isolation in a nightmarish world where reality bends and terror awaits around every corner. As John faces the unknown, he must question what is real and what is illusion-and whether the Backrooms are a prison, a test, or something far more sinister.Complete
Gravity Falls : Anything To Stay With You (Billdip)
It's Dipper and Mabel's third summer in Gravity Falls, but things don't go as smoothly as their second one. Weirdmaggedon has started all over again ; much worse than before. There are more hench-maniacs, more terror - more deaths. And when Dipper gets taken by Bill, will he finally get some answers? Like, how is Bill alive? Or, why is he creating another Weirdmaggedon? He has questions for himself. When should he go home? Should he try to stop Bill on his own? Why does he feel like he's... growing fond of the demon? Other Info : Dipper and Mabel are 14, turning 15 (in case you can't do math). There's a two year time skip at one point, so they'll actually be 16, turning 17 for the majority. The twins have grown up, so they don't do as much stupid stuff. And, yes. This is a Billdip. If you don't like, you don't read, ok? Good. Minor cursing : cr*p being worst. Occasional blasphemy. Ok! Enjoy the book!Complete
Dreamscape One: Freedom. Fate. Fall. | ORE BOUND FANTASY SERIES
In a fractured superhuman dystopia, danger awaits. Alyia McCoy never asked to be special, but the government sees her "dormant healing abilities" as something they can exploit. If awakened, her ore could restore life itself... or make her their most dangerous weapon. Chris Wong, a prodigy amongst their generation and Alyia's closest friend, has always been her anchor. Their slow-burning connection simmers beneath the surface. When the regime sets its sights on Alyia, their bond is put to the ultimate test. Kidnapping. Traps. Torture. The government will stop at nothing to claim her. Meanwhile, far beyond their partial earth, across blackholes, Dreamscape's divine hierarchy trembles. A feared yet formidable deity, Ahirman, is struck down by a blade laced with dark matter! One that could end him unless he accepts a mere mortal to be his healer. But crossing worlds and cutting warping voids comes at a cost, and Alyia may be the only one who can pay it. Lines blur and desire turn dark, one question remains: Will Alyia survive long enough to choose her own fate, or will she become the very weapon she fears? Dreamscape is a pulsating blend of slow-burn romance, dark sci-fi fantasy, and smoldering heat, perfect for fans of morally grey characters, high stakes, and worlds where love might just be the most dangerous power of all. Reader discretion is advised. ♡ Welcome to Dreamscape, Book 1 of 4 ♡
