About the Mission

The main questline here is simple: to inspire.
But like any good story, there are plenty of side quests along the way.

I don’t fully know the final shape of this dream yet — and honestly, that’s part of the fun. What I do know is that every day we're building toward something greater than ourselves. The timeline below marks the very beginning of that journey.

My hope is that, by the end of the decade, this project will have grown into something unforgettable — a place where countless people found a spark, a story, or a world that stayed with them long after they closed the page.

This is only the start. The rest… we’ll uncover together.

About the Future

Write, then write some more.
That’s the heart of everything.

To be more specific, we’re already halfway through Phase One — the hardest stage, because it's where the foundation is built brick by brick. The website, the archive, the first stories, the legal bits (painful), the early foothold online… that’s this phase.

Once Phase One wraps, I’ll update the site detailing what’s next. From there, each phase becomes more exciting, more creative, and a little less admin-focused.

Whatever comes after, I’m genuinely thrilled to reach it.

About the Owner

I could ramble endlessly about the hobbies I love, the goals I’m chasing, or the nonsense I daydream about — but I’ll spare you that essay. Instead, here are the things that shaped me.

There are a few shows I consider the “absolute cinema” of fiction: Steins;Gate, Arcane, Final Space, Pantheon, and Adventure Time. What a lineup.

For games, it’s Subnautica, Halo Reach, Mario & Luigi RPGs, and For Honor (back when it consumed my life).

If you haven’t guessed by now, I adore science-fiction and fantasy. You really can’t go wrong with either. Fantasy lets you write without limits; sci-fi lets you imagine with structure — two different kinds of freedom.

Most of all, I love the feeling these stories create. That sense of discovery, wonder, possibility. That’s what I chase as a writer. Rules are useful, but not sacred. Stories breathe best when they’re allowed to bend a little.

About Feedback

Constructive criticism, stray thoughts, emotional reactions — all of it is welcome here. Whether you have a suggestion, a concern, or just want to share how something made you feel, this is the place to do it.

You’re never bothering me by sending feedback. I read every message personally, and it genuinely helps shape the direction of this project. If something stands out to you, good or bad, I want to hear it. If you're looking for a response, email george@grandstoryarchive.com.

Send whatever’s on your mind — I’m listening.

About AI

A quick note about the art on this site: some visuals begin as AI-generated pieces, which I modify heavily to match my own style and the tone of the worlds I’m building. I respect the work of real artists deeply, and I never use imagery that imitates or replicates another creator’s style. I run reverse-image checks and stay clear of anything that could cross a line.

If any graphic ever raises concern, just let me know — I’ll remove or replace it without hesitation.

To be absolutely clear: the stories on this site are written entirely by me. Every idea, draft, world, and word. AI helps with visuals and paraphrasing; I alone have forged the heart and soul.
