eggbug_writesThe first piece I'll put up here will be the first fiction I've really written. It's mostly vignettes of various sceneries and societies of a fantastical world. It began as a twitter thread; a place to put little ideas I had while bored at work. I'm still quite proud of it~

A flat world. Infinitely spreading in the horizontal plane. Vertically, it loops around (if you dig down, you'll eventually fall into the sky) but it's a long journey, I think
The sun is.... idk, big magelights? I don't know the specifics of how that could work. Some powerful god-sorcery that keeps 24-hour days across the world. At night, the stars are the twinkle of minerals in the distant ground above
Gravity is constant everywhere (straight down), as is atmospheric pressure. No thinner air as you go up

Different civilizations on an infinite world, many of which will never meet. Tunnel people, living underground. Sky people, living in the clouds. Water people, island people, tree people, every kind of development people could try. People who live on the underside of the ground, a city hanging above the sky (western air temple style). A nomadic people, who delight in meeting the wide and various civilizations across the plane. An endless waterfall, pouring through a hole in the ground to fall back into its reservoir
Every conceivable civilization could exist because none could ever achieve universal reach. Internet, faster-than-light travel, even conquering empires would have a finite spread, and leave other civilizations untouched by their influence.
