Fringes of the Hugoverse

On this page I will collect Hugoverse stories that either have no proper place in the main story, or their place has not been revealed yet. Stories that have a proper place will get moved to the timeline when there's enough of that arc to make it interesting. These stories can also help illustrate how things work in the Hugoverse. 

  • Love and Laughter: [WP] Must have the phrase, "A fish may love a bird, but where would they live."
  • Deathly Giggles: [WP] “Um, Honey, did you teach the baby Latin?”

  • Heart Attack: [WP] The hero's power changes every 15 minutes.

  • Unique Encounter: [WP] "Are you lost?" I asked the wandering man. "No, not lost," he replied, staring past me as he spoke, "but where am I?"

  • Rose Bro: [WP] The forgotten tail of the Knight and the Snail. 


  • Arachnophobia = Wet Pants: [WP]One of your relatives just died. You help cleaning and emptying their house. While in the attic, you find something unusual.

  • Sun's Favorite: [WP]The demon hordes have finally been vanquished, and the legendary Hero-King has slain the Lord of Darkness. As prophecies foretold, the sun god descends to reward "the bravest and most heroic" - but he walks right past the Hero-King, and instead approaches a common soldier from the rank and file.

Luck be a Lady (10-18-17)

You alone have the ability to give any "power" you wish to anybody any time... but you're also really petty and use it for revenge / personal amusement [ link to post ] “No, it’s fine, go ahead and cut me off you bastard. Obviously you’re more important than I am,” I whined at the green truck that suddenly decided it needed to be in front of me to catch a turn. I needed to pump the brakes a bit, but it was more annoying than dangerous. I breathed deeply, trying to calm down. For my wife’s sake I began taking anger management courses, and they seemed to be working. I calmed down and forgave the rude bastard. It felt good to forgive him, and I smiled to myself when I decided I wanted good things for that person. “Your safety is now a major priority for all policemen within a 10 mile radius of you,” I said aloud. I was alone in my car. Speaking helped me focus, though I did not need to say the words aloud. It was not long before red and blue flashing lights appe...

Hugoverse Guidebook

This is where I will start storing information about my Universe to help add some context to my short stories.  Magic: Magic is a natural force present on all Earths, though not all Earths have a population that can tap into it. Once a Soul learns how to tap into magic on one Earth they can tap into the magic from other Earths. Nanos:   Microscopic machines that excel at efficiency. As a result they work together and learn to optimize the tasks they're trained for. On some Earths they allow Zeroes to tap into magic, while on other Earths they evolved to mimic magic.  AlterNet:  A network that allows users from alternate universes to communicate with each other. It is an Earth that is completely dominated by nanos. Earths with the right technology can project their consciousness to that Earth, and the nanos will form an artificial body for their consciousness. This is primarily used for gaming, and has essentially become a giant cross universe M...
