    Wilmuh Tremblerod knew from a young age that she would become the world's greatest playwright. Unfortunately, the world, and her talent (or lack of it) disagreed. Until one day, Linus, a young and relatively untrained muse finds her in a bar and inspires her to great things. Of course, she isn't the person he intended inspiring, but everyone makes mistakes. With the subsequent loss of Linus' powers, Willmuh's ability to write compelling and mesmerising plays runs out of control and an alarming number of people decide that Wilmuh has become some literary god, meaning that her very creativity becomes a danger to the world. When a competition is announced to find the kingdom's greatest entertainers, Wilmuh chooses to use her new-found talents to seal her place in history. But with rival entertainers and people in authority rallying against her, Wilmuh may find it harder to achieve than she first thought, and her troupe of wayward and strange thespians may not be able to stop the world from falling under her accidental-spell. And there are faeries, too. But watch out for them, they're really shady. Contains a gratuitous and shameless parody of a Doctor Who episode. I'm not even sorry.

    Story Description In a world that quietly runs on memory, a teenager wakes up to discover that their name has vanished. It isn't dramatic at first. A pause during attendance. A record that won't load. A conversation that resets itself halfway through. People don't avoid them-they simply don't register them. Friends forget shared moments. Systems no longer recognize their existence. The world continues smoothly, efficiently, as if the protagonist was never meant to be there at all. But they are not lost. As the narrator navigates life without a name, they uncover an unsettling truth: forgetting isn't random. It is curated. Somewhere beneath the city's routines are forces that decide who is remembered, who is erased, and why. Names are not just labels-they are permissions. To belong. To matter. To be counted. Invisible to authority yet painfully real to themselves, the narrator learns how to survive outside recognition. They discover others like them-half-remembered people living between systems-and begin to understand the strange freedom and danger of being unseen. Love becomes fleeting. Kindness leaves no credit. Identity must be built without witnesses. As memory itself begins to fracture, the narrator faces a choice: reclaim their forgotten name and re-enter a world that controls remembrance, or remain unnamed and redefine what it means to exist at all. Told in lyrical, introspective prose, this story is about identity beyond validation, the cost of visibility, and the quiet power of choosing who you are-even when the world refuses to say your name.
