4	''[[http://thefuturehasbeenhereforever.blogspot.com/ A Realm of Emptiness]]'' is a blog written by multiple authors from a number of different places and time periods who find themselves in a strange and [[ChaosArchitecture chaotic]] city. It is a part of Franchise/TheFearMythos.

6	The story follows multiple characters:
7	* "Paragon" (real name unknown), a twenty-something woman from the modern day.
8	* "Cipher" (real name: Bruce Wright), a young man from 1971 America who thinks aliens are behind everything.
9	* "Hider" (real name: Samantha Norton), a [[TwoFistedTales pulp]] SciFi writer from 1950s America.
10	* "Sinopa" (real name unknown), an American woman with a DarkAndTroubledPast.
11	* "Shard" (real name: Benjamin Johnson), a Southern gentleman from 1920s America.
12
13	Amidst all these characters' confusion and adventures, a mysterious figure known only as "A" (actually A, a character from the old [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos slenderblog]] ''A Lack of Lexicon'') pursues its own agenda...
14	----
15	!!This blog contains examples of:
16	* AlternateRealityGame: Paragon keeps coming across puzzles and codes left for her by A.
17	* AnachronicOrder: Due to the nature of the Empty City, a few posts go up in the wrong order. Most notably Shard's journal entries.
18	* BodyHorror: The thing Hider sees in the Church, as well as what A sees in the mirror once SanitySlippage sets in. [[spoiler: It's the Dying Man. The "Slender Man" A killed was actually possessed and deformed to resemble Slendy, and when A killed it he became possessed. The victim Hider sees is implied to be a future rendition of A]]
19	* ConspiracyTheorist: Bruce "Cipher" Wright
20	* EldritchLocation: The Empty City
21	* GeniusLoci: The Empty City
22	* GodhoodSeeker: A, who seems to be trying to become the "Fear of Humanity"
23	* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Each blogger has a certain theme with their post titles:
24	** Paragon's posts all have one word titles beginning with the letter "P"
25	** Sam's/Hider's post titles all begin with the words "[[InWhichATropeIsDescribed In Which]]"
26	** Cipher's/Bruce's posts are all titles "Day (number)"
27	** Sinopa's posts titles all begin with the words "Diary Entry:"
28	** Shard doesn't use post titles, but his posts all begin with (what he believes to be) the date.
29	* InWhichATropeIsDescribed: How all of Hider's posts begin. See IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming
30	* MindScrew
31	* OntologicalMystery: None of the characters have any idea where they are, and a number of them don't even remember how they got there.
32	* OrphanedSeries
33	* SanitySlippage: Shard seems like he's going to be suffering from this. And A appears to have already experienced a bout of it.
34	** After A (supposedly) [[spoiler: kills Slender Man]], s/he appears to start going through another bout of it.
35	* SpinOff: It's part of Franchise/TheFearMythos, which is a SpinOff of Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos. The blog itself is also something of a sequel to the old slenderblogs ''A Lack of Lexicon'' and ''Defining?'', and the blog itself has a SpinOff in the form of A's other blog, ''A Lifetime of Laughter''.
36	* TimeyWimeyBall: The characters are all from different time periods, and yet their stories take place at the same time, but they experience events out of sync with others (for example five days could pass for one character while only one passes for another... and yet the events they describe ''still happen simultaneously with one another'')
37	* WrongGenreSavvy: Cipher, who thinks that he's the subject of an alien experiment.
38	** And then there's A, who thought s/he was in a LovecraftLite take on Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos, leading to a belief that s/he could control the [[GeniusLoci Empty]] [[EldritchLocation City]] and kill Slender Man. That goes about as well as you'd expect.
