Hi, I found some stories on the Bogleech website that linked to your blog. If you wrote the Boxes series, do you think you could provide more information on the lore of the stories? :)

omg yeah I wrote those!!! what a lovely surprise to get an ask about them out of nowhere, genuinely getting this ask made me really happy :) I honestly didn't write up much super specific lore for it! the basic idea was that there's a very large (functionally infinite but not actually infinite) number of like, pocket-universes contained entirely in literal boxes, which are seen in a large warehouse in the story Somewhere Over the Rainbow (which was like, really the only lore-oriented (if at all) of the Boxes stories); that's not to say that the warehouse in Somewhere Over the Rainbow is Literally what holds all of the universes (including our own), but that that's how the human main character in that story perceived the emptiness outside of the Boxes. There's ways to travel between them, but humans and most inhabitants haven't figured out ways to control it; but some of the stories do imply controlled travel between Boxes or even inter-Box societies, like the uncanny bootleg merchant in Bootleg somehow getting into Our world, or Internal Scripture (funnily enough, from the same year as Somewhere Over the Rainbow so I guess I was into making connections between the different Boxes that year).

sorry for the pretty basic answer!! I unfortunately haven't written anything Boxes-related in about five years, though I do think that a lot of the basic ideas and concepts have stuck with me. I have my own website, hosted on neocities, where I host some of my original writing, so I've been meaning to collect together all the Boxes stories and put them up on there, possibly with original illustrations! if you liked The Boxes series, you should totally check out some of the stories I've put up on my site, especially the UFO horror short story Tractor Beams, I think that one kind of has a similar feeling to some of the Boxes stories :)

(if I'm completely honest, even thouse Horse Hole was the one that won runner-up in the creepypasta contest, the one I've always thought was the best was Stomach Bug :3 sorry for namedropping and linking like every story i wrote lol just, your ask got me thinkin about them again!!
