SouMet Stories | An Introduction
A fresh, blank new page on the internet. Born of anxiety and the need to tell a story for a really really long time. So lemme give you a little background on me, this whole idea, and what’s in store for this space.
I’m Allie Bustion, a writer and narrative designer in games. Both tabletop and video games. I’ve written for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Pathfinder, Starfinder, D&D, Thirsty Sword Lesbians, and others. I’m starting to get on writing fiction again. Which brings us to this.
This is a world building project that I started, like, a full decade or more ago. I’d fairly recently discovered cyberpunk aesthetics and near-future fiction. Janelle Monae had released Metropolis: Suite 1-The Chase and the video for “Many Moons”. I even saw her live twice in a tiny loft venue. And that sparked a lot of thoughts about a fantasy-cyberpunk future ruled by the rumors about you. And I filled in the details of Cindy Mayweather’s story for myself and filed off the serial numbers. At this point, I don’t think there’s even evidence of those serial numbers… There is, as always, a playlist though. I’ll work on a new and updated one. Please look forward to it.
So what am I planning to do here? Edit and archive all my old ideas in one place. Write some new stuff. Practice various parts of the art of writing and narrative design. Flex, honestly. I don’t know if anyone will care very deeply about this whole effort but I kinda hope you do.
Alright. Next time, we dive into loose under pinning of those whole weird rumor-ridden world.
