This page offers a comprehensive guide to all the universes the stories of Christopher Searle come under. All these universes have a range of stories currently part of them, with this page being updated whenever new stories arrive. There will be no links to individual stories, as those can be found with both the paid stories and free stories pages.
Alternate Halesowen and Beyond
The first of the universes created, Alternate Halesowen and Beyond mostly focuses on small-scale, character-focused events. Though it might be an alternate version of all of the world, the name of the universe comes from the focus of its first stories. Stories told in both The Alternate Adventures of Halesowen, and The Future Adventures of Halesowen. Between the two short story compilations focused on the media students of Halesowen College comes Secrets Behind the Truth, which introduces the major part of the Beyond in the name. That being the little-known island named the Republic Antarctic.

Elemental Heroes
The universe of Elemental Heroes creates a fictional world of data. This created world follows rules similar to video games, in that anything can be spawned into existence as long as the right materials are on hand. It also doesn’t matter much if you fall in battle, as you can respawn back at a safe space, though the life of that person is slightly reduced. Introduced through the book of the same name, Elemental Heroes follows the Ballart Police Force as they do battle against Darcy and her creatures, using powers known as Elements to protect the city. Those elements are created through substances, which also play a major part of this universe.

The Galaxy of the SRC
Created from a love of sci-fi, The Galaxy of the SRC gets its name from the first book of the universe, Space Race Championship. An entire history of this galaxy is explored, wrapped within the main event that is the Space Race Championship. Though many parts are only hinted at in the story, that history has seen a lot of development. The Zilthex Systems War, the expansion of the humans into the wider galaxy, their development of space-faring technology, and the Space Race Championship are all areas that have seen focus in that development. And such world building will come through in later stories this universe presents.

Reality Twists
Originally without a name when the first of its stories released, the Reality Twists series tells stories as if they could be from the real world. But with a unique element that marks them as alternate realities. Whether that be something mystical or super advanced technology, each of the stories within are standalone, having no connections with any other in the universe. Though similar themes will be present across them.

Tales From The Herzan State
Originally created as part of a concept for a GTA Michigan, ideas for more stories started to develop. As such, the State of Herzan became a new universe for me to develop ideas under. While little used at present, the intention is to further develop what started with the first story of Tales From The Herzan State, while also developing a history for the alternate version of Michigan.

Zincite Storm
The newest of the universes, while also technically being one of the oldest, Zincite Storm presents a racing paradise. An island of racing culture that developed race tracks, building its towns and cities around them. The original, no longer available story the universe is named after developed the foundation of this universe, so it was only right to name it after that story. Not just about racing, the stories develop characters and their life within this racing paradise.

Fan-Created Stories
While not a universe as such, fan-created stories are what I name any story that uses an already established universe to tell a story. Whether using one of my core franchises, or even a network of entertainers, these stories are a way for me to express love for those universes. There hasn’t been much of a focus here as of late, but I do intend to change that as I consider how I would tell stories with certain universes. And work on new versions of those already established.
