The Omnymphotents, Book Two: Omny Ex Machina

 

Megan: Huh. He actually did it. Salamando published our second eBook. If you actually want to give him money for some reason, you can purchase it at: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1127106

Cyl: Told you to have some faith.

Megan: Faith is for mortals.

Shady: Well, you coulda made a better sales pitch.

Domina: This is the story where I finally make my debut! What better pitch do you need than that?

Megan: Where we make our debut, you mean.

Domina: Same difference. The point is, I/we save the Omnyverse. Funny how that works out, isn't it? You're all welcome.

Shady: Excuse you, red, but you didn't exactly solo this bit. This story wouldn't even have happened if not for me and Cyl.

Domina: You didn't go far enough.

Cyl: We went exactly as far as we had to. Everything worked out.

Shady: Spoilers, jeez.

Megan: All the stories are still free on the website, doofus.

Shady: It was a joke, nerd. Speaking of, shame he wasn't able to put the comics in there.

Cyl: Well, he had to compromise by rewriting them in "quick-prose" as he calls it. Plus, there is a little bit of new material in the form of another foreward, and a new opening Prelewd chapter.

Shady: I suppose it'll do! Anyway, folks, stay tuned for Book Three! Which one will that be again?

Cyl: Next up should be the Empowered/Created collection, after that, I think the post-reset stuff still has some work to be done before it gets booked, so that might be awhile.

Shady: Get on it Sal!

Salamando: I workin' on it! Cut me some slack!

Shady: No.

Cyl: See you next book, folks!

The Omnymphotents, Book One: Through Mortal Eyes

Lettie: Hooray! Our first eBook! You can purchase it at Salamando's Smashwords page, at: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1126539

Shady: It's about damn time! How long has he been sitting on that cover?

Cyl: About two months.

Shady: What took him so damn long?

Cyl: Well, you know how he is. He thought he was going to have to write a whole new novel to start us off for a potential new audience. Got stuck trying to decide what origin to go with. Again.

Devi: You'd think he would have learned by now.

Cyl: He's getting there.

Whitney: Is that supposed to be me on the cover?

Lettie: You look great!

Cyl: It's the best stock photo he could find to match the feel of us, but I think it works well.

Shady: Not jealous it's not you on the cover?

Cyl: I'm just happy we have a book of our own.

Shady: Uh-huh.

Cyl: Spare me your projection, please.

Shady: Never!

Devi: "Through Mortal Eyes"? What is that supposed to mean?

Whitney: It's a collection of our earliest stories, the tales where Sal first wrote about us. All of those were told through our Plaything's perspectives. Takes you back, doesn't it?

Devi: Ah, yes, the good old days, back when there was no plan whatsoever, and we all had maybe half a dimension of personality.

Lettie: C'mon, cut him some slack. We were just starting off! We were basically just a writing exercise experiment back then.

Devi: We're still a writing experiment. It was just nice and uncomplicated back then.

Shady: Enjoy it while it lasts, readers! After this, things immediately go off the rails! Not that I'm complaining!

Cyl: Let's be real, if it didn't, we probably wouldn't still be around. But with that said, readers, look forward to Book Two! Sal's going to have to do some rewriting to get that one to fit the ebook, but it should be out soon!

Salamando: Please don't make promises on my behalf.

Cyl: Please actually make the book.

Salamando: Fine. Gawd.

Cyl: Soon, please.

Salamando: Don't rush me!

Lettie: See you again real soon, folks!

Salamando: What did I just say?!

Meta-Timeline of Various Canons

As meta-fictional cosmic entities, the Omnymphotents have existed across multiple incarnations, are aware of their fictional nature, and remember all of their previous lifetimes prior to the formation of their self-constructed current universe. As such, “canon” is something of a dubious terminology here. For the Omnys themselves, every version of their story is canon to their personal experiences, and the memory of those past events thus influences some of their thinking in their current incarnation.

 

However, their re-creation of the current Omnyverse is a cosmological do-over, a fresh start which fully separates the setting itself from any connections to my wider Erotic Multiverse. Thus, events of the previous universe are not canon to the current Omnyverse, save what the Progenitors decide to allow, or re-incorporate into their Omnyverse.

 

Much of this information is already disseminated throughout this website, whether referred to by the Omnys in the stories, or listed in lore articles such as the cast page. This Timeline article is meant as an easier go-to page to reference this lore. Note that many of the events listed prior to the current Timeline were never written or posted anywhere, but to the Omnys, this all still happened. Anytime I reached a major planning stage for the Omnys, that effectively counts as an alternate version of the story they experienced, as the characters did indeed develop through these mental gestation periods.

 

In approximate meta-chronological order (in as much as events that play out in non-linear time can be put “in order”), the major timelines can be summarized as such:
