Newt's life is a quiet storm of isolation and monotony, defined by days spent avoiding people and nights battling his own thoughts. But when a strange voice begins narrating his every action, thought, and emotion, Newt's fragile sense of reality unravels. The voice is omnipresent, omniscient, and inescapable leaving him no moment of peace. As Newt struggles to reclaim control over his own mind, he begins to question: Is he truly the author of his life, or just another character in a story already written?
Blending psychological suspense with existential humor, Self in the Story is a gripping journey through the surreal and the deeply human-a tale where breaking the fourth wall is only the beginning.

Enter a world where there is no line between "real" and "fictional". Enter a world where characters don't want to be characters. Enter the endless variety of universes and layers of Narrative. Enter the storyverse. Enter the Library of Babylon. I'll be waiting for you there, [Reader].Complete

"Oh Merlin, I sorry, I have too-" "Potter?" I look up, and almost faint when I see the Potions master towering above me. TW: Rape, suicide, self harm, and abuse. NOT SNARRY!

Redemption Reserved for Superheros
(edit) I forgot to add that this started out as a confessional journal about becoming clean after a 10 year + addiction to OTC cold meds, but that was not my style of writing, I liked the material so I wanted to expand it into a novel length work featuring the journal elements. To say this work is a roller coaster would put it lightly. Although there are elements of time travel I would consider my sudden transitions reality travel. I use actual experience and dreams as a foundation, then toss in some fourth wall breaking narratives (meta-fiction), with a sprinkling of facts and quotations from songs and factual articles. It tends to be written similarly to an essay sans the boring. I have been influenced strongly by Vonnegut and W. S. Burroughs , and a wide variety of album rock, and that bleeds through. The tags dystopian and dark humor describe the whole piece best but there is a lot of genre jumping. I've done a good deal of research, not just for factual things but for the type of writing I do. Although not technically fan fiction, there is a nod to Final Fantasy games. The cover photo is a shared copyright, Brian Barbour took the photo, I added treatments.Complete
Stand Across
Once a year, every human on Earth loses one entire day. It doesn't feel like a blackout - it feels clean, like the day never existed. No one knows which day they lose, or what happens during it. Video footage erases itself. Time-stamped devices loop or glitch. Even diary entries vanish without smudges. Most people accept it. Some even like it. But a few... don't forget. The world isn't broken. Just folded. Bent along invisible seams no one admits are there. There is a place made of what we tried not to feel. Where echoes walk. Where memories wait to be picked up again. It's easy to cross over. Harder to come back whole. And something has started crossing the other way.Complete
