Icewall
𝐑𝐔𝐋𝐄: Any world (no matter how improbable) in a spatiotemporally infinite rule-based random universe is virtually certain to exist (merely occupying a smaller portion of phase space).
𝐂𝐎𝐑𝐎𝐋𝐋𝐀𝐑𝐘: Any world that someone thinks is “cool,” given sufficiently advanced means of production, is virtually certain to be produced.
Icewall is a meta-setting for RPGs and stories; any book/game/TV mash-up might occur on this surreal infinite plane of ice -- superheroes, superscience, psionics and magic, space opera (there is at least one galactic disc); very unpleasant things, people, organizations, conspiracies, and strange occurrences -- contradictions are legitimate; an alien invasion doesn't need to cross light years of space, just a few thousand miles of Antarctic conditions (imagine Trantor attacked by a horde of cold and hungry cavemen). It all stemmed from asking myself "What if...?" one day.

Summary
A job performed is worthy of compensation, though pro bono is always an option — but even then, resources are required.
Though told from the uncertain perspective of some imagined (N)PC contemplating the problems of life in any story world (and although I get the impression of it being more fit for a D&D type place than most others, it would probably fit in most), this piece just might serve better as part of the Worldbuilding Meta collection.
I read and appreciate (and try to reply to) all of your comments (they are always welcome)!

In for an Amy, in for a Pond by Charles_Rockafellor
Fandoms: Amy Pond - Fandom, Doctor Who (2005)

Summary
Amy stumbled into the TARDIS after having gotten lost deep within the TARDIS; clearly, there had been a bit of a time slip, leaving it stranded here... within itself. While pursuing a change of clothes and a good bath, wondering who had rearranged her room, the TARDIS left for its next destination. Stepping out into the control room, she found herself confronting herself. Love was in the air, and no little lust, but there were still other Amys out there, and one can never have enough Amys.
Join us here each week my friends, and see Amy's senses and sensibilities assaulted by cloaking devices, Glorificus, out of order messages, Vermicious Knids, and so much more! (And watch for a special appearance by Lord Blackadder and Baldrick, and the girls of 'Allo 'Allo.)
UPDATE 01 Aug 2021: I got my mojo back a few months ago, and finished Amy in Jul-Aug; now to finish the next WIPs (see notes)!

Summary
Whether chemically enhanced or by dint of superpowers, magical warps, or spacetime ships, a mind wandering over the infinite possibilities resembles a mind considering exactly such actions for practical travel - and with sufficiently advanced means, such musings and such travels become identical. None of this means that it can't be done with a little panache, however.

The Space Orcs are coming, hooray, hooray! by Charles_Rockafellor

Summary
Billie Badass is from one of the galaxy's most dangerous and hardy species (though also, punnily enough, rather hearty ) — a Genomorph (a hermaphroditic species halfway between the Gelatinous Blobs of Futurama and the Pleasure GELFs of Red Dwarf; not precisely a Star Trek DS9 Changeling, but similar enough) — though not suicidally stupid enough to go near Humans... until one fateful trip. Now cast away, ze learns from a local — Avery, a Deathworlder — adapts, overcomes, and survives.

NB 27 Sep 2021: 4th [short] story in series, added yesterday! (Happy almost-anniversary [17 Oct] to the first 2 Space Orcs stories in the series!)
