From the imagination of many nerds come multiple worlds of fantastic and terrifying phenomena, where both dreams and nightmares come true.

Sparkvia, a welcoming community with every type of person and quirky subculture imaginable.

Writer Haven, a woodland retreat where the inspired go to be creative.

Sparkler Forest, which is ever-changing to accommodate the hermits within.

Mindhut, the dominion of geeks and nerds that works to make marvels happen.

The Upper Space, a luxurious city in the sky where every comfort exists.

The Forgotten Realms, where disappeared people and objects go and live timeless lives.

SplurkLife, a world of eternal silence that drains the color from everything.

DarkLife, a sinister realm of monsters that will keep you always looking over your shoulder.

The Blank, a cacophony of distorted sounds that drive all who hear it mad.

Lilyvale, a landscape ruled by wheat fields and beady-eyed birds where the radio is your only lifeline.

The Bejeweling Realm of the Crystalline Palace, where the landscape itself glitters and trapped things are preserved forever.

Wynter’s Kingdom, a world where deep drifts of snow hide things you don’t want to know about.

Sunspot, where the heat scorches every rock and fires burn beneath the sands.

Moebia, a medieval realm where the royals hold powerful magic and the peasantry fights back with technology.

The Realm of Lost Comments, where ravenous creatures steal words to be devoured.

The BrokenVerse, what is left of all the above regions when civilization has ended and nature has swallowed them up.

Once upon a time, SparkLife was a prosperous nation. It was a safe haven for many – the lonely, the quiet, the marginalized – and flourished as the settlers finally found themselves a place in the world. It was ruled not by one, but by many, each with their own talents and vision. The citizens were architects of the nation just as much as the rulers were.

But nothing lasts forever. Small cracks appeared in the running of the kingdom. One by one, the rulers stepped down or were called away. Citizens found better opportunities elsewhere.

After years of decline, it was announced that SparkLife was in for a massive change. Budgets would be cut and industries shut down. The city would become more focused, utilitarian. And the citizens realized the place they had cherished for so long had vanished.

So they began to leave, seeking other refuges, or building their own. But they brought their culture with them, their art and customs and memories, so that SparkLife was not truly dead. Pen pals kept in touch. New nations rose, attempting to be as vibrant and powerful as SparkLife once was.

While the migrants were upset about what SparkLife had become, they still fondly remembered what it had once been. Their lives were trees, and SparkLife had been their roots.

We made some Romeo and Juliet dioramas for SparkLife with a dog and cat twist!  Prince Hedgehog even makes a cameo. There's so much secret cuddling we can't take it.
