My name is Benjamin Chiles. I’m a writer, a teacher, an academic, an aspiring voice actor, a video-game enthusiast, and all-around nerd.
I’ve been writing for most of my life, in one form or another. It provided a much-needed outlet for self-expression when I was young, and now that I’m older, it is a way to express and describe the vivid worlds that exist in my imagination.
About the Blog
Story Multiverse is a blog focusing on “imaginative fiction” (or IF) which includes fantasy, science fiction, horror, supernatural fiction, and other related pieces of literature.
Generally speaking, you’ll find three types of posts here: posts about writing IF, posts about reading IF, and posts about IF as a genre.
Posts about writing IF
This includes posts where I talk about the process of writing, writing techniques, my own writing experiences, as well as entries in an original IF series The Chain.
Posts about reading IF
These posts are usually either reviews of specific pieces of IF or profiles of IF creators.
Posts about IF as a genre
The most “meta” of the three, these are the posts where I pose questions such as “What is IF?” and “What makes IF different or unique?”
