Shareverse Anthologies strive to be more than simple collections of stories. They are communities of writers working together to make new and exciting fictional universes come to life.
In each volume, you’ll discover engaging characters, unique settings, and exciting events, all interwoven through a series of interconnected tales. While one writer takes the role of editor and builds the framework and a few characters for the universe, it’s up to the contributors to fill the universe with creative settings, complex new characters, and heartfelt stories that align with the universe’s themes. The resulting collection of stories comes together to weave a complex world with consistent rules and shared lore.
While not every collection bearing the Shareverse Anthology name will follow the same editorial process or structure, they all share a singular purpose: to bring writers together and provide them the opportunity to contribute to a larger work, fostering a sense of community and collaboration.

Rooms deform, strange objects appear and vanish, and bursts of unexplained energy ripple through the station. As its discoverer tries to govern the chaos, the station’s secrets demand a price.

On the Starship Blunder, heroism is optional, but chaos is guaranteed. With a ship held together by duct tape and vibes, the misfit crew sometimes saves the day—though crash landings, accidental explosions, and the occasional extinction-level event may be involved. The Conglomeracy assigns them the simplest missions in the galaxy… which somehow always turn into catastrophes.
