Cataloguing System

I wrote a lot of (pretty bad) novels in the past, and I rarely used new characters and universes while writing. It was sort of like a reworking of different characters and worlds in different scenarios, an exploration of what new angles would look like. Creative writing has always been my hobby, though now I rarely have time to pursue it.

Because I have so many different stories floating around, all of which are rather badly titled, I started to develop a cataloguing system to label each work, which you may have seen in the webnovels hub. Here's how it works, in a little more detail.

Universe Label

Many of my universes are labelled by their defining characters. For example, the universe label "WC" refers to the stories abouot Wren & co., a group of four high school aged altefel. Not every iteration of characters in this universe have the same powers, personailities, or abilities, but they are versions of the same people. The following is a complete list of Universe Labels and a brief description of each:

• WC: Four teenagers-- Wren, Olly, Johnathan, and Anna-- living in Central Kestarin realize that something is horribly wrong with their world. Often these stories mention the Athenaeum and other institutions, and the Sinking Cities, Carheliod, and other mana fissures that have opened up around the world. Occasionally will mention the AO universe as part of their recent history. Mostly explored from 2019-2024.
• AO: Characterized mostly by six people: Mitae, Enrose, Han Daran, Ren, Tenki, and Exarion, but also occasionally includes Elis and Usagi and the likes, living in the state/province of Kestarin, before Kestarin grew to cover basically the entire continent. Sometimes these characters have magic powers, sometimes they don't. Sometimes Warden is there, but usually not. This is the universe that appears the most in cross-universe work, and has a second-gen spinoff labelled as AO2 which includes main character Jun Sang. Mostly explored from 2020-2024.
• DR: Based on a dream I had lol. Really where Daran and Warden from AO1 came from. Everyone's kind of an asshole. Mostly explored from 2020-2022.
• EV: A huge collection of characters within the same geographic layout as WC and AO, but in the then-called country of Callora on the planet Envion, but occuring but earlier (except for its original iteration, which occured in space). Notable characters include Rocket Harrion, Red Saffitz, Arcadien Pridera, Isai Warren, and Conaih Isling. Probably the first world I started writing in regularly. There are a ton of characters and iterations. Mostly explored from 2018-2022.
• KT: A small universe of characters initially inspired by the SCP wiki, which includes characters Maren Gray, Florence Safwan, and Tal Park. Mostly explored from 2018-2021.
• KB: A small universe centered around one extended family of magicians, including the Fells, Shaws, and Chevaliers, who have recently moved into a small town by the sea... Mostly explored from 2020-2022.
• APTs: A small universe where the top half of an apartment building gets ripped off of its perch from its lower half and transported to another world, Wizard of Oz style. Most of its characters know a secret that one of them doesn't remember... Mostly explored from 2023-2024.
