Perhaps now is a good time to talk about brane stability. Not all universes
are created equal. Some are naturally occurring, while c-branes are created in
someone’s dreams. Most dreams last for only minutes before they end, and
unless something else steps in to maintain the dreamworld, the universe that
was born out of it will collapse as well. Even if the dream is strong enough
to survive, that doesn’t mean it will last forever. It is only as strong as
the people who are responsible for it. What does this mean? Well, if the
dreamer continues to deliberately explore the new world, it can last longer.
If they create something semipermanent from it, like a written story, or even
a painting, that can make it last even longer. If this art reaches some kind
of audience, that can make it last indefinitely. The most popular stories make
for the most stable universes. They have room to expand, and become more
detailed, and most importantly, interesting. They might also be able to
survive on their own merits, by the force of will of their inhabitants, but
this is fairly rare. I was expecting to give you another story about the
universe where zombies take over the world only briefly before dying out, but
like Vacuumverse, there is nothing more I can say. The events that occurred
here did not follow any level of logic, and the inhabitants weren’t strong
enough to hold up their story on their own. History began the moment zombies
were first created, and ended centuries later when civilization was all but
rebuilt. Little happened in the meantime, and nothing happened afterwards. The
whole universe collapsed under its own unstable insignificance, and that’s all
you need to know.

- 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.
