Short Stories by Lucid Illusions

E-book and the Next set of stories

These short stories, started a year back in August of 2023, when I first asked Bluesky users to share a prompt. While my original idea was to write 100-200 word stories some of the stories are way longer. I don’t think I ever managed to write something that short.

Last month I decided to compile these stories into an E-book and share with friends, mutuals and followers across social media. As you know I mostly share the stories as screengrab with alt-text on bsky, apart from sharing them on this site - I felt it might be nicer to have a format that people can read on their e-reader as well.

So if you’d like to download the book. Check out this Ko-fi link.

p.s. the e-book contains three extra stories that are not available on the website.



So what’s next?

If you’ve been on bluesky for a while, you know about the labellers. While the original design behind this is to create a 3rd party moderation layer, certain labellers are creating some fun projects with these. One of the fun ones is called The Cave of Trophonius which has labelled every active account with how the user will meet their demise.

So I’ve decided to start using these as prompt to write stories. I will start sharing the stories on this site as well in the near future, but currently you can check the stories on bluesky.


I'm going to start using @oracle.posters.rip label to write a few stories for mutuals. 🙃🙃🙃
