A certain web series creator has become rather cynical as of late. He claims that the ARG/Unfiction community has become toxic, elitist and is forcing originality for originality's sake. Going by the alias of "the fearmaster" and posting the usual totheark/Local 58 style videos, he seeks to prove that nothing is completely original and everything is derivative of something that came before it. It's impossible to create something new without first using someone else' work as a starting point. And it's impossible to build off of anything if you don't have the means of which to do so. Can you prove him wrong? We'll see about that.

NULL

5/2/21, 4:42 PM

While uploading a video he made to YouTube, a man notices his computer has been logged into a strange account with an odd name: NULL. There is one video; he watches it and makes a response, asking whoever is behind it to stop. They don’t listen, and bizarre videos keep popping up, with strange codes and messages that he can't understand. Solve codes, translate sentences, examine images, and help make sense of this channel that someone has made just for him.

The ASPMC

9/6/20, 6:28 PM

The American Society for the Protection of Magical Creatures (the ASPMC) was founded over a century ago to encourage the protection of magical creatures and their habitats. In the intervening years, the organization has atrophied and become a shadow of its former self. Remnants of ASPMC have taken it upon themselves to digitize their efforts and provided a series of missions for new recruits to help out.
