Vive Brenico: “Infictive”
In an effort to fill space, and promote outside works, this is the all-new, all-different “Vive Brenico” series. I will be posting about creative projects that are either sponsored by, or have been produced by, Brenico Media for you and yours to enjoy.
Enjoy.
“Fiction as the reality, reality as the fiction.”
Wes Unruh and I moderated a small-time podcast called Occulterati. E1, Episode 6. Our guests were Kara Garland, James Curcio, and Chris Titan. The title of that episode was Infictive.

I don’t know why it was called that, or what the intended meaning was.
Rolling back, there was a space called Key23, and on that space was an article, and in that article was a story, and that story was advanced by readers joining in at various places to contribute to it, and from that story came a wiki, or a hyperwiki, or a hypersigil wiki, or some damn thing like that. Many people played with this wiki, turning it into a merry space of story and exchange.
Long-story short, Key23 went ka-put, so we took the remains of that wiki and spun it off. The title of our new wiki was Infictive.
I don’t know why it was called that, or what the intended meaning was.
And, so, nearly two years later, we now have…
Part laboratory, part recording studio, part mastermind session, part cut-up, part garbage dump. We haven’t quite figured out the measures of those parts, but these things won’t be an exact science. The story never quite ends.

My summary is clearly far too brief to do justice to the scale and enormity of this… thing, this beast of idea, noise, and colour. It may even be fair to say that “infictive” is potentially more of a mindset or ideology than a single or set of projects, and, if that is the case, it is equally fair to credit Mystery X as the Karl Marx of this “infictive theory.”
I don’t know why it is called that, or what the intended meaning is.
