One of my favorite projects to ever come from the forum was this collaborative community project of Sayornis, set in an alternate universe consisting of an infinite library akin to Borges's The Library of Babel. The Library is still ongoing and the thread in its third iteration is still active on the current version of the forum. Most of my Library posts are hosted on the current forum, though my first five are still only found on the Tapatalk forum—I intend to eventually move them to a more stable location.

Many of my early, stand-alone spec works, including my aborted project Gigas, were loosely set within the same fictional framework: the Company was a mysterious organization hailing from some future Earth that possessed the ability to travel between alternate universes. While I never developed much for the overaching setting on or off the page, it proved a useful excuse to allow various posts to have a in-universe author, typically a Company surveyor. Though a total reimagining of the setting, I would later re-use the conventions of multiversal travel established in these posts for Airball.
