Is there any otherworldly stuff on the site?
I know it may seem like a strange question but I've of late taken an interest in really strange literature concerning alternative realities and understandings. Does anyone know of any writing on the site that falls within one of those categories? Even if it's your own piece.
Kiko's "The Rabbit Hunt" is an excellent example of what you're talking about.

There's lots of people from other planets in the Threads.
It all started outside a cold deserted diner,and a parrot to long without sleep"herman's brood"hermans brood""flambeau's dead"flambeau's dead"
The man had finally seen them,and heared them although it be parrot fashion,pay no mind to coincidence he must save the princess now!No love no life, a simple choice.....Back to the capcave!
I usually avoid bringing up my own work, but it depends on how you classify "otherworldly."
According to Laurell Hamilton ("Lunatic Cafe" and "Circus of the Damned"), her horror work is actually an alternative reality body of work. She has set up a world in which history (as well as physical laws) took a right-hand turn, and the result is our own world - but where the supernatural is real.
From that point of view, I suppose you might classify my collection of Sigil, Texas stories as "otherworldly," since they work on the supposition that the supernatural is simply the result of natural physical laws we simply don't fully understand.
