Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Tales from the Year Between is an anthology series somewhere at the intersection of the darkly fantastic, the comically fantastic, and the outright bizarre.Its editor-in-chief and 'Grand Hierophant' is C. Vandyke (or 'Chris Van Dyke', depending on where you look); its first volume is 'Achten Tan: Land of Dust and Bone', with subsequent releases planned twice yearly.Each volume is set in a different invented world, with each contributor writing one or more pieces of whatever kind of work they like within that world. The uniqueness of Tales from the Year Between is of two main flavours:The world of each volume is created in collaboration between all of that volume's contributors. At the beginning of the process, there's nothing but a name and one or two very broad-strokes bits of information about the sort of setting it might be; then, through playing a variant on Avery Alder's game 'The Quiet Year' (Year Between is not officially associated with Alder or 'The Quiet Year', but uses the game to generate its world), the universe is created. Over fifty-two turns, each representing a week in an extremely eventful year, the contributors create places, concepts, events, and characters; all of that material is then available to use in the works within the volume.Confusion, weirdness, variety, and even contradiction are all embraced, if not outright encouraged. Because the contributors are all working within a shared world, there are likely to be points where their works conflict with each other, and that's all part of the fun. Both Watsonian and Doylist explanations may be implied or suggested, or it's all just rolled with as an amusing and vaguely meta side-effect of the unusual creative process. The motto of the anthology is 'Factum Est Bonum': roughly, 'it's all good'. As wide as possible a range of different styles and formats is also encouraged, with works in the first volume including poems, short stories, recipes, letters, newspaper articles, plays, hymns, and in-universe essays.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The anthology's website contains contributor bios and information about each volume as well as Bonus Material in the form of 'apocrypha': pieces that may or may not have made it into the printed volumes but have been published on the website instead or in addition. Sometimes these are poems, stories, and other pieces that wouldn't have been out of place in the volume; in at least one instance, the apocrypha section has been used to host an audio piece that for obvious reasons couldn't be printed. | |

The Artifact | |
| Tales From The Year Between / int_13d7a65e | comment |
The Artifact: A few characters who were clearly conceived as being important to the world during the world-generation phase end up appearing in precisely none of the works within the volumes. The character index mentions, for example, Rapaecio Pallor: an explorer who, with the help of assistant Sven, discovered a magical compass, a sinister cult, and a means by which to defeat Evil Sorcerer C'Naga. Apparently none of the contributors felt like telling that story, so Pallor and Sven are relegated to footnotes and a single passing mention in a newspaper article about a ribs restaurant. | |

Magnificent Bastard | |
| Tales From The Year Between / int_23015b1f | comment |
Magnificent Bastard: Petar Pan, who is charismatic, dangerous, and quite possibly supernatural. Not always outright antagonistic, but never anything less than a powerful and potentially malevolent trickster. He's quite possibly directly or indirectly responsible for a lot of the bad stuff that goes down in Achten Tan, starting with the implication in his first appearance (in 'A City of Bone and Tar') that he may have encouraged the dangerous addiction in Saphira that later became more popular among the people. | |

New Weird: The editor-in-chief and at least a few of the contributors are fans, and it shows. While some of the works within each volume are spec-fic stories played mostly straight, you're also likely to find a lot of much stranger pieces exploring bizarre elements of the world or simply doing something rather more different and unexpected. | |

After the End | |
| Tales From The Year Between / int_334e48a1 | comment |
'Achten Tan: Land of Dust and Bone' (August 2020). In a post-apocalyptic desert wasteland, a fantasy city finds itself in a fragile peace following a long war with a species of viciously intelligent rats known as the Craven. Built within the bones of some long-dead giant, Achten Tan has a lot going on: elves riding giant ants, gnomes harvesting algae from caverns, a possibly mad seer bent on gladiatorial combat, a dark elf wizard, mysterious magic mirrors, at least two very good ribs restaurants, and much more. | |

Mad Scientist | |
| Tales From The Year Between / int_3517000d | comment |
Mad Scientist: Drizko Tinkersbane, who Depending on the Writer is either a reasonably capable assistant where scientific matters are concerned or a somewhat terrifying genius. He skews more towards the latter in the later tales in the volume, which makes sense given that they're in a rough chronological order and it's not until a fair way through the year that he comes into contact with Ichor, an almost-definitely evil substance with a bad case of Blue-and-Orange Morality. | |

Evil Sorcerer: C'Naga, a dark wizard long thought dead, nevertheless manages to maintain an ominous presence over many of the people in the world of Achten Tan. Gerwyn may or may not also be something along these lines. | |

Alternate Continuity | |
| Tales From The Year Between / int_450c5a85 | comment |
Alternate Continuity: So far, no explicit examples of other dimensions or timelines, but the fact that some stories within the same volume contradict each other might suggest that Year Between worlds operate on a slightly wobbly canon. Avoids Continuity Snarl, though, because it's sort of part of the point that there is no single consistent right answer, with contributors free to shape or change the world however they see fit. | |

Genre Roulette | |
| Tales From The Year Between / int_4b1ca7d2 | comment |
Genre Roulette: A mix of this and Genre-Busting; while each volume of the anthology is set within a single world, and that setting is fairly clearly tied to a specific genre, the individual pieces within each volume could be comedic, serious, pseudo-academic, tragic, romantic, erotic, poetic, horrific, or any-other-ic takes on any element of the world. Occasionally leads to Mood Whiplash where darker pieces are placed next to sillier ones. | |

Call a Rabbit a "Smeerp": Kind of. There are ants and turtles which are definitely just larger, rideable versions of 'normal' ants and turtles but are known as g'ants (for giant ants) and tartules. | |

Bizarrchitecture | |
| Tales From The Year Between / int_67fedd35 | comment |
Bizarrchitecture: Achten Tan is built within the skeleton of a colossal, long-dead animal. Houses are built in its ribs; streets follow the spine; the skull is the main gate. Given that different authors play around with the setting in various ways, attempting to line up locations in the skeleton with any real consistency could end up forming some mindmelting non-Euclidean shapes. (That said, there are official maps, and they are beautiful.) | |

Serious Business | |
| Tales From The Year Between / int_6b35bdff | comment |
Serious Business: Ribs joints play a disproportionately enormous role in Achten Tan life. Old Crawman, owner and proprietor of North Ribs Ribs (a ribs restaurant in the northern ribs region of the bones that make up Achten Tan topography), is one of the most frequently occurring characters, and several stories allude to or take place in his restaurant. There're even a few recipes! | |

| Tales From The Year Between / int_743d2893 | comment |
The Woobie: Arguably, it's pretty easy to feel sorry for poor Bone Chief Opu Haku. Although he was one of the most powerful figures in Achten Tan, his most notable contribution to the world's history was getting murdered; as such, there are at least two different stories depicting his untimely demise (by as many different killers, no less). | |

Horse of a Different Color | |

Horse of a Different Color: The most commonly-ridden creatures in Achten Tan are g'ants (giant ants) and tartules (big turtles). The former, at least, are the loyal steeds of the an'chers (ant-ranchers), a sort of creed of cowboy-farmer-soldier cavalry people. | |

Shared Universe | |
| Tales From The Year Between / int_7fd142ef | comment |
Shared Universe: Of a peculiar kind, since each volume's universe is created in a collaboration between all the contributors to that volume. Everybody is then able to call on any characters, places, events, or other details to use within their own works, but they're also free to go in a different direction or even contradict existing information. | |

Our Goblins Are Different: There are hobgoblins and tomgoblins (or simply 'hobs' and 'toms'), two distinct but closely-related types of underground-dwelling humanoid. One's green, one's blue, and both are very very little. (There are also gnomes living underground, so that's a third similar but distinct group.) | |

Shout-Out | |
| Tales From The Year Between / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Peter/Petar Pan is obviously Peter Pan; Old Crawman's son is sometimes referred to as Younger Crawman but is named William Crawman Williams, of all things; the appendix 'Post-Structural Semiotics of Reconstructive Osseotopography' is a Whole Plot Reference to China Miéville's The City & the City; Drizko's name might well be a nod to Drizzt Do'Urden; Huwgogh von Gernsback, ostensible author of one of the introductions, is a clear allusion to Hugo Gernsback (for whom the Hugo Awards are named). On a meta level, the characters of the play 'Om-Noms, The Holy Ones' are In-Universe shout-outs (mostly unflattering) to contemporary Achten Tanians. | |

Cassandra Truth | |
| Tales From The Year Between / int_cf92fea8 | comment |
Cassandra Truth: Appropriately, Cass of the story 'Jon Andra's Daughter' (which makes her full name... well, you can work that one out) seems to be a Cassandra. Nobody believed her when she insisted that the Everfall would shine earlier this year; she turns out to be correct, although she's wrong in her initial belief that it means prosperity and success for the coming year. She then prophesies that things will in fact go very wrong (and she's much more correct about that, as detailed in many other stories in the volume!) but doesn't get a chance to warn people due to her untimely death at the end of the story. | |

Our Gnomes Are Weirder: The gnomes of Achten Tan came from elsewhere and ended up settling underground, but then somehow became algae farmers and also started up their own ribs restaurant to compete with the otherwise monolithic establishment that is North Ribs Ribs. | |

Incredibly Lame Pun: North Ribs Ribs, which became a huge part of Achten Tan civilisation, started as a dumb joke during the world-generation process. The nature of Year Between lends itself to this, really, since it involves a bunch of people of varying silliness throwing around as many ideas as they can and seeing what sticks; naturally, some of the most ridiculous ones end up getting picked up and developed in the world's creation and in the stories. | |
