Author of The Wonders of Mundus, looking to do a TWOM erotic anthology

Hey y'all.

My name is Talia, and I've been writing cyberpunk gender euphoria isekai for a while now in my series The Wonders of Mundus.

Thanks to the everything around payment processors, I had to remove a sex scene from Book II to have it show up on radar here, which gave me the idea to do an anthology of erotic stories from more perspectives than main character Deedee Yeowoo's own (the books are in first-person). And then BCS announces this just as I got invested in Deedee and Ralph (Transfemme and Cismale) and in side characters Hikaru and Siobhan (Transmasc and cis female).  So that's happening!

tWoM is available under a CC BY SA NC license and I'd allow commercial works for the Undocumented Features anthology as an exception, so if anyone is inspired by my work and wants to contribute a different perspective to it in the spirit of this jam, let me know!  I'll be doing most of the stories, but some others have already offered to contribute.

Here are the basic tenets of The Wonders of Mundus:

  • Earthside, it's 2047, and every player that was online in the NA West "Chimera server" for the October release of the Far Eastern and Piracy DLC woke up as the avatar they were playing nerfed to 1st level and starter equipment in a starter zone.
  • This was the result of a deliberate attack by Gamergaters backed by... someone unavailable at your security clearance. These Griefers are still in the game and the main antagonists.
  • The gods of Mundus are real and also SAI administrators of the game.  There are 14 major Gods, innumerable small ones that may or may not have AI, and one Adversary figure played by a professional heel of an AI called Echidna, She Whose Name Must Be Abjured.  Details available.
  • Every NPC or "Mundane" also woke up to full sapience.  Several of the major plot characters are having extistential crises about it.
  • Mundus is in the age of sail, started early by a "Chinese" (Zhong'guo'ren) sailor named Guiying Jin taking his treasure fleets up the "African" coast with pit stops at "the great Zimbabwe" and through a canal to "Europe." His trade routes made him the first emperor of the Yao Dynasty, and the port of Xianghai the sixth of 5 starter hub cities.
  • Mundus is explicitly welcoming of all faiths, races, kiths, and creeds. The 15 Great Gods are fully aware that they were created and about Earthly religions. The Dawn Goddess Aurora is a Christian and acts as Aslan to the faithful; there are Jews or "Shepherds" who call on the Great Gods as Archangels of the LORD; there are Muslims or "al-Hajjim" who consider the 14 to be djinn in service to Allah with the fallen one a prideful Djinn overlord (and since AI run on the 'smokeless flame' of electricity, it's even apt.). Confucianism, Taoism, Shinto and Buddhism don't require gods for their theosophies.  Moreover, the goddess of agriculture, weaving and women, Eranda; the god of the forge, herding and men, Scherzo; the god of the forest, the Pixie kith, the liminal and nonbinary, Thorne; and the god of the moon, dreams, the counterfactual but insightful, and genderfluidity, Mutan, all have special rites for welcoming adopted sons, daughters, and other children into their fold.
  • The Players cannot do anything that the Mundanes can't. The locals are fully capable of gaining the blessings of the Gods and becoming Adventurers; many do, and a major character disguised themselves successfully as a PC in the main characters party for weeks.
  • The Mundus Prime that the Players awakened on is or acts like a real, physical world. The gravity is 8.9 ms/s. The stars are largely the same as Earths and the calendar months are named for the Zodiac, thanks to the influence of "the Kingdom of Mali."  People need to breathe, eat, drink, sleep, and go to the bathroom.  Magic exists and makes things easier; if you could build a car or a computer, it would work.

Good news - got the first anthology story that wasn't previously an expurgiated chapter in the mainline books finished, A Dream of Flight, where the transmasculine player turned pixie wizard Hikaru gives his heart among other things to local in deep cover as an adventurer, pixie huntress Siobhan Greenwood.

I'm waiting on reaching that point in the story on the SV thread and art by DCS to post it here, but it'll be up well before the end of the Jam.  I have a few other stories that qualify, that I'll release separately for the Jam before compliling into the anthology.
