The Bureau of Multiversal Administration

Hi all! I apologize for not posting any updates lately. Things have been a bit busy lately. I assure you, though, that I haven't abandoned or forgotten about the series!

Writing really has become a journey of self-discovery. It's completely changed the way I view events and absorb media.

These late nights spent writing, I'll admit, sometimes feel like a lot. I'm basically scrapping my earlier drafts and refining my concept further, but I'm trying to do so without losing the humor and heart of what I'm trying to create. I have more pages of notes than narrative.

#writersfatigue

I’m not just writing speculative fiction.

I'm building a world that reflects ours—satirizing cruelty, spotlighting resistance, and showing how hope, humor, and stubborn empathy can reshape even the most broken systems.

Stories matter. So does how we tell them.

Lore Drop #1— What Holds the Multiverse Together (And What Doesn’t) “The multiverse doesn’t run on logic. It runs on paperwork, myth, and sheer narrative stubbornness. Usually in that order.” — from Introduction to Zone Governance, Third Edition (Redacted)

New Lore Drop just... uh... dropped?

Some days it's hard to believe the system isn’t designed to collapse—just slowly enough to profit from the fall.

Writing satire helps. Not because it fixes anything, but because it lets me map the absurdity onto something I can name, poke at, unravel.

Absolutely this. Gatekeeping has no place in storytelling.
Authors write. Author isn’t a title someone grants you—it’s one you earn by doing the work.
Published is published. Keep writing.

My writing is 40% lived experience, 30% anime pacing, 20% narrative spite, and 10% unhinged metaphysical speculation.
That adds up. Probably.

This is giving “chaotic queer fantasy found family” in the exact flavor I crave.
Congrats on reaching the beta stage—can’t wait to see how this evolves!

A debut that includes revenge heists, clones, and tentacled aliens?
Approved. Logged. Emotionally destabilized (in a good way).
Congratulations, Rochelle! Wishing you massive success out there in the narrative void.

welcome to the rebellion. we have typos, caffeine, and creative freedom.
(also duct tape. just in case.)

Like a ripple from beneath the archive floor—still, but undeniable.
Some writing doesn’t shout. It just settles in and changes something.
Beautiful post.

An image of text that reads, "If a story collapses in a simulation and no one files the paperwork... Does it still trigger a recursive audit? Yes. Yes it does." with the subtext, "Filed under: Bureau Philosophy 101." attributed to, "J. Swartz Technically Compliant The Bureau of Multiversal Administration"

Welcome to the Bureau.

Where metaphysics meets forms in triplicate.

Every time I make a new character I think,
"This one will be normal. Just a regular person."
Next thing I know they’re unionizing ghosts or arguing with a toaster about labor rights.
It’s fine. Business as usual

Avery Finch was awake.
That, in itself, wasn’t unusual.
But waking up in a metaphysical onboarding chamber? That’s new.
