I think it’s a pretty fitting time for me to discuss this next brane. As
you’ve probably noticed, if a universe manages to distinguish itself from
others enough to earn a name, it always ends in verse. Flipverse,
Hypnopediaverse, and Salmonverse are good examples that I’ve already
mentioned. Most of them form one word titles, but there are exceptions, like
the Composite Universe, Universe Prime, and Area Doubleuniverse, which is
quite obviously a pun. Still, they’re all verses. This one is the one
exception to the rule. It’s an artificial brane, though its no less an
independent brane than any other one. It’s twinned to Salmonverse, which
protects it from external threats, and there’s only one entrance that I know
of. The membrane surrounding it is 50,000 times thicker than most, done
completely on purpose, which is why it’s impossible to cross into, except in
the one special place. Its creator is a very powerful woman named Hogarth
Pudeyonavic. She has her own story to tell, but it all came to a momentous
transition when she discovered that she had a connection to the energy that
pervades the bulkverse. No, I’m not talking about bulk energy, per se. This is
more like the data delivery aspect of it; the waves that carry information in
all directions. They call it the Aitchai, and Hogarth was chosen to wield it
pretty much as she wished. It allows her to transmit matter from any location
in the bulk, to anywhere else, at the subatomic level, if need be. She used
this power to create mechacelestial objects, like the matrioshka body, and Big
Papa, but once those were complete, she set her sights on something
larger...more glorious. She wanted to build an entire universe, according to
her specifications. These specifications are her creation’s proper physics,
which refers to the physical laws specific to a given brane, as opposed to the
ones that are true of all branes. What she didn’t have after completing her
creation was a population. No one lived there, and if it remained as such,
there would be no point to it. That is where another powerful woman named
Ellie Underhill comes into the story. It was her own abilities that
transferred tens of billions of people, allowing them to start new lives, and
thrive in them. I’m afraid I can’t tell you much more about it than that. I
witnessed its beginnings, but cannot see things that are happening inside the
universe itself, because that’s the whole point. The thickness of the membrane
doesn’t just keep invaders out physically, but also psychically, and
spiritually. I can tell you that it works, and that it becomes a key sanctuary
and strategic position in the Darning Wars.

- About Me
My name is Nick Fisherman III. It's not my real name, but that's not because I'm trying to hide from my former agency, or something. I named myself after someone I've known for most of my life, and he chose it in honor of his late best friend. I took up writing when I found myself failing 8th grade science, and realized I might never reach my dream of becoming a biochemist, a meteorologist, and a quantum physicist. I started developing my canon after a scouting trip to an island inspired what I thought would be my first novel. I founded this website upon the advice of many people, who told me I needed to get my work out there, and not wait for an agent to accept my manuscript. You can expect one new story every day. Weekdays are for microstories, which are one or two paragraphs long. They're usually only thematically linked, so you won't have to read one to understand another, but they do sometimes tell a combined story. Sundays are for my continuous longer story, The Advancement of Mateo Matic, which I started in the beginning, and won't end until 2066. Saturdays are for long series, most of which take place in the same universe as Mateo, and add to the larger mythology.
