Mikivers

Mikivers is a term that has emerged in certain online communities to describe a personal, curated universe or fictional world that an individual creates and inhabits. This concept is often associated with creative individuals, particularly those who engage in writing, art, or role-playing. A Mikivers can encompass a wide range of elements, including original characters, detailed settings, unique mythologies, and intricate storylines. The creation of a Mikivers is typically a solitary endeavor, allowing for complete creative control and self-expression. It serves as a personal space for exploration, imagination, and the development of narrative ideas. The term itself is a portmanteau, combining a personal name or prefix with "universe," suggesting an individual's dominion over their created world. While not a formal academic term, "Mikivers" reflects a contemporary way of conceptualizing personal creative output and the deep engagement individuals can have with their own fictional constructs. The depth and complexity of a Mikivers can vary greatly from person to person, ranging from a few sketched characters to elaborate, multi-layered narratives that rival professional works in scope and detail.
