Work Samples
Here's what I learned writing these, and how I can use it to help you.
She Watched the Roses Burn
A 30-chapter published mystery novel. My only published book so far, with more planned in the future.
What I learned
- Long-term planning and tying together multiple distinct story arcs
- Editing a complete body of work to avoid plotholes and make it consistent
- Typesetting and publishing to turn a manuscript into a book
The Antedicament of Doctor Fancyboots
The longest Fancyboots entry, and the biggest point of reference for what he'd become in future stories.
What I learned
- Seamlessly integrating multiple distinct ideas across a unified plot
- Building on the foundations of an established universe and tone
- Balancing the importance of comedy with the impact of narrative
Spaghetti Eastern
Doctor Fancyboots ventures into genre fiction, but remains himself.
What I learned
- How to implement my own unique sense of humour into established genre tropes
- Finding the perfect balance of universe-consistency and self-contained for a spinoff format
- Managing humour so the parody remains enjoyable to those unfamiliar with the genre
The Five Treasures of Inpei Kaguya
A six-perspective mystery designed as an immersive experience.
What I learned
- Designing an experience that both works as multiplayer and standalone
- How indivudal character perception affects how facts are presented
- Thorough and detailed planning of places, times, and events
One Hundred Haiku on Cucumber Water
An emotion work that came about in response to a bet.
What I learned
- How limitation breeds creativity, but also adaptability
- Writing more than expected possible on even a simple subject
- Balancing humour alongside legitimate emotional introspection

The 止まらないProject
The 止まらない Project is a collection of sci-fi, science fantasy, mystery, and philosophical short stories and visual novels by @gamingTimewarp.
The name means "unstoppable" — a nod to the relentless heroes at the heart of these stories, ancient, modern, and future; as well as my personal philosophy of bringing these stories to life, no matter what obstacles stand in the way.
"Project" comes from media like Touhou Project and Kagerou Project: works of fiction that consist of a bunch of interconnected parts, and encourage community contribution.
The blog-like format of the stories on this site is inspired by the tradition of publishing mystery and sci-fi works in pulp magazines, a chapter at a time. Classics such as Dune and the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes were originally published this way.
Nowadays, this has been replaced by the internet. Instead of subscribing to periodicals, people can access fiction according to their preferences whenever they want.
The method of building a universe by slowly introducing parts of a story and earnestly considering user feedback, however, remains prolific. This site aims to be a forum of a similar purpose, with unique and intriguing fiction shaped by the experiences of myself and feedback from the community.
What You'll Find Here
- Short stories — standalone tales and serialised adventures, from the comedic escapades of Doctor Fancyboots to quieter philosophical pieces.
- Visual novels — interactive fiction experiences like Cereal Experience Rain (coming soon).
- Collaborative projects — multi-perspective mysteries like The Five Treasures of Inpei Kaguya, designed to be experienced with friends.
The Philosophy
Come for silly sci-fi and science fantasy stories about silly characters, stay for deep explorations into the human condition. Every story is free to read on this site.
