Hi! I'm Rin, storyteller and aspiring otherworldly entity. The other nerd to my name is my husband, my main collaborator and biggest fan. I have three worlds here on WA:

wow that's a lot of stars

a sci-fi adventure of dubious intentions

Ten planets connected by metadimensional space, divided by ideals, and held together by one beleaguered organization.

My primary world is a grounded science-fantasy setting I created for TTRPG campaigns with the Stars Without Number system. Follow this world if you like space travel, alien planets, psychic abilities, and tabletop shenanigans. I also post prose, homebrew, and GM tips.

You Are Here Now

Why not stay a while?

Settings, characters, plots, and excerpts from my various novels and short stories, most in the speculative fiction space.

My second world is for my fiction writing. Rather than creating a new World for every project (some of which are quite small), I created One World To Rule Them All. Follow this one if you like speculative fiction and story-focused world building.

Rin's Overworld

How-to guides, event hubs, and other meta information for projects I work on.

Lastly is a meta world that holds things like reading challenge, event hubs, and how-to guides. This world likely won't have any actual worldbuilding or storytelling - follow if you like stats and tips for writing and using WA.
