Paradigm 13

Short stories

A story at the edge of a world can go anywhere. It leaves the main plot and characters alone, so it's free to explore one corner in rich detail, and whatever it finds is there to draw on later, when the novels need a new idea. These 311 stories were written that way. They're free to read, written with AI, and often very strange.

Each shelf covers one subject or character. Stories marked Adult carry a note on the page.
