The Fulcrum: Main Index

[paradoxcase]

This is a chronological listing of rainbowfic posts for the Fulcrum. (For some definition of "chronological".)

The Fulcrum is a fantasy story about time travel, organized religion, fantasy deities, and ace lesbian romance. The fantasy religion is intentionally Judaism-flavored and there are Jewish ethical themes in the story itself. The goal is to wind up with a kind of möbius bush plot where there is no true beginning or end in terms of lines of causality and everything that happens in the story is caused by something else that happens in the story, including the things that happen at the beginning, or events from the main characters' backstories.

The QuCheanya language is a conlang associated with this story. The grammar (somewhat of a WIP) can be found on Github. The story isn't about the conlang, but does make a few references to its grammar, most of the names are in QuCheanya, and the grammar linked above is an in-universe document that is mentioned early on.

Dates are written as YEAR.MONTH.WEEK.DAY. There are 9 months in a year, and 5 weeks in a month. Most weeks are 6 days, but week 3 is 8 days usually and 9 days during months 3 and 6, and during month 9 every fifth year. The new year is a couple weeks before the spring equinox.
