The Nostalgia stories

Photo by Clem Onojeghuo on Pexels.com

Each of the Nostalgia stories is sewn from tweets, threaded together on Twitter and, in many cases, cross-stitched to each other.

Built around the word prompt games of the #writingcommunity, they feature an expanding universe of characters who sneak through holes in time and space, between bodies and even species.

Violet. Boy. Melkor. Edward. Dunster. Le Thal. Pearl. Their creator, Hope. Each weaves their way through multiple lives and adventures, united by a single force: Mythic Ink.

(Please note: due to the presence of portals between worlds, search results may also include stories from Forget. We apologise for any lack of colour.)
