paracosm

WELCOME

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Welcome to my paracosm page.
I'm a 30something immersive/maladaptive daydreamer. I made this site to talk about something very special to me: my paracosm, the rainy city.

I used to be really embarrassed to talk about my paracosm in public but that lead to dark places because it's really important to me and I want to share it with people! Cringe culture is dead and I want to let go of any residual embarrassment so I built [am building] this website to give people a little peek into my inner/other world.

PARACOSM

setting

Setting information is divided into diegetic & exegetic.

diegetic

exegetic

The rainy city (always lowercase) is an original universe paracosm that crosses over with The Silmarillion/The Lord of the Rings, TSUBASA: RESERvoir CHRoNiCLES and His Dark Materials. As a crossroad world, it could technically cross over with any story.

I'm a Lewisian worldbuilder, which is to say, I'll throw in everything but the kitchen sink with little regard for "realism." The rainy city operates on the rule of cool.

Some of these characters show up, in disguise, in my published fiction and poetry but these works are "non-canonical" to my paracosm and not part of the story continuity.

soulbond code

 I'm a soulbonder (but not plural):

soulbond describes the common experience of a writer who finds that characters can take on a life of their own, sharing a connection and communicating with the author.
Fanlore: Soulbond (Fictive Presence)

I don't take any of this too seriously because I was in a soulbonding cult a long time ago. It's apparently not an uncommon experience.
