below is relevant information and instalments for all of them! hope you enjoy!
(if you want to browse a specific story, each instalment is tagged with the story’s title, plus typically another tag that reads “[title] official chapter” (or episode, lesson, session, etc. – use the instalment names for guidance!))
❝ It’s about being a good person, I think. We’re all in this together.❞
Somewhere in the vast ocean of space, there was a small deserted planet and a small colony of humans who’d made it their own. With Earth no longer viable for human life, the remaining survivors stole away to a mysterious planet with 25 rings. Saturn, a chronically curious teen in this colony is suddenly brought to the public eye when they create a new radio show to entertain the jaded population. When complications arise, Saturn finds themselves facing all the issues they have been fighting their whole life to forget.
genres include: sci-fi, post-apocalyptic, drama
if you're fond of: radio format, post-apocalyptic space domesticity, small communities trying to hold themselves together, lowkey disney princess style restless mc, young people asking questions they're not supposed to, you might like this!
❝ There isn’t a single other house in Ashray with this many locks.❞
If there’s anything the people of Ashray Lane love, it’s a marketable mystery. So, when two-year-old Mollie Donoghue goes missing, the reporters, podcasters, and every nosy citizen sink their teeth into the perfect crime. However, for her family, it’s another story. Rival top students Ciaran Donoghue and EJ Lykoudis team up to get to the bottom of the mystery – past all the facades, lies, and the tireless pursuit of a perfect case.
genres include: mystery, found footage, thriller
if you're fond of: script/found footage style, pining mayhaps or maybe they're too focused on the murder, rising against shitty family structures and familial neglect, a critique of true crime culture from another angle, you might like this!
❝ This is the perfect story.❞
Verity is the hero. Entropy is the villain. Damsels, dragons, kings, knights, swords, magic, and everything in between. Everything an audience has come to love and expect. We strive for only one thing: to tell the perfect story. But… that story begins to fall apart as many problems faced by our otherwise stoic and virtuous hero leave him questioning his place in his world. Back on track again, the story can still be told the way it must be told. There will be no distractions this time. Verity, the damsels, the dragons, the swords! It all has to go according to plan this time.
genres include: high fantasy, psychological thriller, action
if you're fond of: pointing at old boring high fantasy tropes and laughing (and making them fucked up), dynamic and slightly sus narrator, interactive/personal writing style (canonically a story being written and rewritten), playing with the rules and making them better, you might like this!
❝ There is less than nothing at the bottom of the well.❞
In a small, unsuspecting, unremarkable village, there is a well. The well has sustained that village since its founding, and the townspeople have no idea what a life without it would be like. However, when siblings Rhydian and Alis wake one day to discover the well despairingly empty, mysteries, deceit, and corruption are revealed within this humble village, and the life they once knew ripped apart at the seams. Rhydian and Alis navigate the lies they’ve told both themselves and the town in the confronting tale of Thumbtack Moths.
genres include: psychological horror, speculative mystery, surrealist
if you're fond of: allegories about mental health and denial, sibling duos with pets, the not-so-secret-moreso-neglected secrets of a small medieval town, playing with amnesia and personhood, you might like this!
❝ What has happened, and what will happen, is not your fault.❞
Cillian O’Cleary has many regrets. The biggest one – also the source of much of his intrigue and activity in this new place – is the series of events that led him to the Euthymia family’s doorstep, to be engaged to their youngest daughter. Through a twisted narrative told by Cillian’s partner and confidant, Faine Havenmeyer, a disturbingly intimate tale of hatred, uncertainty, and fear is unwoven as Cillian attempts to protect himself from the increasingly terrible situations he finds himself in, so far from his true home and real safety.
genres include: gothic horror, psychological thriller, drama
if you're fond of: victorian thematic inspiration, fucked up narrator and protag relationship, use of first and second person, unashamedly dark plotline, the kind of story that made my english teacher ask if i was okay, you might like this!
