Slipping Through began as an idea for a three character team that dealt with magical problems: a shape-shifter who appeared as a disembodied trench coat and fedora; a magician wearing a three-piece suit and cape; an old man with incredible strength and invulnerability.
Over time the story has become so much more than that, with a cast of dozens, set in multiple worlds, all coming together due to a common threat. Characters have been created brand new for my purposes, others have been pulled from my efforts of years past, nipped and tucked to fit into the story.
The basic plot is that many worlds are facing a singular problem: the skies are cracking open, their worlds are crumbling. Reality is unraveling, the past is malleable, and someone--something--is deliberately causing this. They must find out who or what, and how to stop it. Except . . . Except that this has happened before. All of this, and no one can remember.
Worlds where magic is the norm, a culture who grow their cities out of rock, a ghost that haunts the walls of a city under its protection, typists who melt, a magician made of glass, corrupt corporations, masked villains . . . All in Slipping Through.
