Serious & Hilarious Spinoff Trials ¶

Two budding spin-offs in the "Asteroid Hits Mooland" storyline — twined narratives into the same essence on different routes.

Little Nick's Big Adventure — Quest for Wisdom in the Realms ¶

BOOM! And so it landed. Right on the outskirts of western Highlands, not too far from Ammoolia's Cloud Orchards. A dazed and confused creature crawled into the smooth Highlandian daylight from the collision crater. Izzy and Manny had never seen such a strange creature...

Little Pick's Big Adventure — Search for the Absolute Dimension ¶

BANG! "What the hell was that!?" It was rare to see Boohaush, the old shaman boofalo living in the depths of the Boggy Hinterlands, get jolted by anything at all. A strange creature crawled out of the bog, wiping its face and snorting the mud out of its nostrils...

More Stories — Short and Epic ¶

We're also crafting short stories cast into the Mooland universe, exploring the diverse potentials of this emerging world. None of them are ready for public consumption just yet — but stay tuned, and we'll keep you posted!

We are, in time, also crafting epic length narratives and thematic anthologies. For now, Chrysalis, our seminal world-building book, is the magnum opus in the works. If you want to check out our experimental spin-offs, let us know!

Anthologies — Thematic Short Stories

In the course of the Chrysalis creation, there were several currents that were capped to keep the work contained — from each of the elemental "homeworks". They could be explored as thematic anthologies:

• Earth Series:
  Short stories exploring the terrain and nature of the realms. Delving into the interdependent harmony of ecosystems and their parallels in our lives.
• Water Series:
  Short stories where I & M return to hang out with the natives of each realm. Tuning deeper into their attitudes and the flows of their lives.
• Fire Series:
  Short stories where I & M are called to the realms to help out with challenges. More hands-on applications of the principles we work with.
• Air Series:
  Short stories where I & M participate in Epic Festivals in each of the realms. Exploring the values and mythos of each realm in more depth.
• Space Series:
  Short stories where I & M are on a pilgrimage, possibly with Ammy, across the realms. Seeking their true selves and opening doors to the unity of Mu.

▶ These would be easy enough to churn out in their season — and I think would turn into delightful excursions. That'd be 40 short stories there, anthology style in five volumes, probably aim for 200-300 pages total per volume. Not necessarily in this order.
