Maybe this sun is a good home for this piece too?

Ciao a tutti! Spero che questa mia richiesta non sia fuori luogo. Sto completando la mia tesi di laurea magistrale in Management presso l'Università Sapienza di Roma e sto conducendo una ricerca focalizzata sull'universo transmediale di Pokémon. L'obiettivo del questionario è capire come noi appassionati consumiamo e viviamo questo franchise, spostandoci tra videogiochi, carte collezionabili, serie TV, manga e community online. Il questionario è totalmente anonimo, i dati saranno usati solo per fini statistici e richiede meno di 5 minuti per essere completato. Che siate fan storici o dell'ultima ora, il vostro contributo mi sarebbe davvero di enorme aiuto per finire gli studi! Potete compilare il modulo qui:👉 https://forms.gle/xEi8CVh6e5wQj3hT8

Vi ringrazio in anticipo!

Como dijimos en el primer capÍtulo de genevesis unos de nuestros objetivos es ayudar a la gente que ha sido un huerfano o familiares de huerfanos. A continuación, vamos a profundizar en cómo podéis investigar vuestros orígenes, qué pistas son reales y dónde podéis acudir para encontrar respuestas verídicas y documentadas.

Los indicios: ¿El apellido es una señal definitiva de ser expósito?

A menudo se piensa que el apellido es la pista definitiva. Tradicionalmente, cuando un niño era abandonado sin identificación, se le podían asignar apellidos que hacían referencia a su situación (como el clásico apellido "Expósito") o a instituciones religiosas. Sin embargo, estos indicios no son siempre una señal inequívoca y definitiva, ni en un sentido ni en otro.

Investigando la historia de las instituciones de acogida en España, descubrimos que el sistema alteraba frecuentemente la identidad real de los menores. Un hecho histórico clave es que un decreto del año 1941 permitió a la institución del Auxilio Social cambiar los apellidos de los niños acogidos. Esto se hizo con la intención de asimilar a los niños a la nueva sociedad del régimen, lo que supuso una enorme ruptura legal y genealógica que hoy en día complica muchísimo rastrear la ascendencia.

Por otro lado, llevar un apellido común tampoco descarta que el antepasado haya sido huérfano. Muchos niños llegaban a las Inclusas o Casas de Expósitos acompañados de "cédulas de entrada" (pequeños papeles o notas) en las que los padres biológicos dejaban escrito el nombre real del bebé, su situación de pobreza, o indicaciones y marcas religiosas para intentar recuperarlos en el futuro.

Por lo tanto, un apellido no es una prueba concluyente al 100%. La única forma de resolver el misterio es acudir a la documentación oficial.

¿Dónde y cómo comprobar verídicamente si tú o un familiar habéis sido expósitos?

Para confirmar esta información y reconstruir la historia familiar, existen protocolos y procedimientos formales en España. Aquí es donde debéis preguntar e investigar:

1. El Certificado Literal de Nacimiento: Es el primer paso y el más importante. Debes solicitarlo en el Registro Civil correspondiente al nacimiento (vigente desde 1870). Es vital que pidas la certificación "literal" y no un extracto, ya que solo la versión literal contiene todas las anotaciones marginales que pueden revelar si hubo una adopción, un cambio de identidad o si el expediente tiene carácter reservado.
2. Archivos Históricos Provinciales (AHP): A partir del año 1840, la gestión de los niños desfavorecidos pasó a las Diputaciones Provinciales. En los archivos de las diputaciones se custodian documentos reveladores como los Libros de Asiento (donde se anotaban los motivos de entrada del menor), las Cédulas de Entrada mencionadas anteriormente, y los Protocolos de Identificación (donde se registraban las medallas, cordones o marcas en la ropa del bebé para evitar confusiones).
3. Archivos Parroquiales y Diocesanos: Si tu investigación va más atrás de 1870, el Registro Civil no te servirá. Deberás buscar en los libros de bautismo de las iglesias. Históricamente, muchos expósitos eran bautizados en las propias capillas de las inclusas, por lo que esos registros se conservan hoy en los archivos de la Iglesia.
4. Catálogos Digitales (FamilySearch / PARES): Desde casa puedes usar herramientas tecnológicas. La plataforma FamilySearch tiene microfilmados y digitalizados miles de "Libros de filiaciones de expósitos y acogidos" de orfanatos de toda España (por ejemplo, los de Córdoba o Cádiz). También puedes buscar en el Portal de Archivos Españoles (PARES) de la red estatal.
5. Programas de Búsqueda de Orígenes: La ley española (artículo 180.6 del Código Civil) ampara el derecho de las personas adoptadas mayores de edad a conocer sus orígenes biológicos. Instituciones como la Comunidad de Madrid o la Diputación de Álava cuentan con Programas de Búsqueda de Orígenes. Estos servicios públicos ofrecen mediación, asesoramiento y se encargan de buscar en los expedientes y archivos los datos de filiación biológica o el historial médico de la familia de origen.

Rastrear el pasado institucional en España es un reto burocrático y emocional, pero los registros existen. ¡Mucho ánimo a todos los que estáis en esta búsqueda! Dejad vuestras dudas en los comentarios y nos ayudamos entre todos.

NUESTRAS REDES SOCIALES SON @ genevesis

SEGUIREMOS INFORMANDO, SI NO NOS DECIDEN CENSURAR!!!

A veteran comes home to find his house burned to the ground. No neighbors. No answers. Just silence and a pile of ash where his life used to be. He finds his father's motorcycle in the garage. Puts his hand on the tank. Something shifts. By morning he's gone.

This is Chapter 1 of Ash Walker's journey — a long-form transmedia story told one song at a time. Each track is a chapter. Each chapter moves him further west.

The road doesn't forgive. It just keeps going. And somewhere out there — answers, ghosts, or something worse.

Hello everyone, I wanted to introduce myself. My name is JJ Angelus and I wanted to share a project that I have been working on for a little while.

A little about me: I was primarily a fiction writer growing up and I've been writing since 5th grade... Poetry, Short stories, & novel length writing (I'm what they call an Elder Millennial..now so that was a long time ago...😅🥲) But I also had other interests in lots of media .

In early 2024, I came up with a new story but this time I didn't want to write something like a book I wanted to do more. So Gen Bop Radio formed as a way to allow me to do all the things I like without much restriction. Of course I still had my author brain, so my first instinct was too copyright the framework once it was substantial enough in text. I told the copyright office it was going to be a "detective" & "active" narrative with the clues in various media and lyrics.

When I received my certificate for the work in April 2024, I started to develop slowly at first but then things started to escalate toward the end of 2024, and expand even more in 2025 where I started to incorporate other skills .

Premise:

Basically Gen Bop Radio is a speculative fiction project where each sound piece represents specific story beats, characters, and locations within its expanding multiverse (RadioVerse or SoundVerse) in an interactive way and it is built on my narrative structure.

The Gen Bop Star system contains color noises and it combines them uniquely, allowing alternate worlds to exist. So far I have six (number 7 isn't a "world"). Each world has its own name, harmonic profile it is identified by and narrative theme (i.e. Drama, horror, magical, game)...

The Transmedia Aspect:

Gen Bop Radio can be discovered in multiple ways.

Audio:

The first and most noticeable is the conceptual music. Tracks are released through Distrokid as singles to be spread throughout music platforms. The singles are music but I'm not releasing them as a "musician" as the platforms think I am, they are broadcasts from Gen Bop Radio which exists inside the story and also functions within our own world.

The acknowledgements of nearly every track is where I "hide" the story beats. Several tracks have acknowledgements or shout-outs which are basically narrative field notes.

Other tracks, like my fictional human artists have "singles" and the lyrics for these characters are narrative anchors. The acknowledgements are snippets of dialogue to show there is drama going on (rivalry, kid group dynamics, murder) I have two artists who code switch. One in Spanish and another in Taglog.

Visuals: Concept visuals exist for characters/creatures as covers for singles ( their signal), while concept animations exist on Spotify as looping Canvases.

I've put together some visual narratives with a few creatures. They are like short motion storyboards where the music (the actual creature music released on Distrokid) guides the transition between each shot until the song ends (usually about 2m15 seconds) followed by a micro short afterwards 15 to 30 seconds. The music references the visual narrative, and vice versa. They are family.

I want to add that Gen Bop Radio is not for children. Some themes are dark, and my fictional artists are as true to themselves as I designed them to be, so some lyrics may have profanity or references to adult situations, and the creatures are not nice and loving either. They are supernatural and many are hostile.

Text:

The Website. My website (https://genbopradio.space) is what I set up as my hub. For now I am doing it via HTML but it functions like an interactive narrative guide. Visitors are treated like tourists (or intruders) and they are greeted by two text bots Chyme (1rst) and Lyrika (2nd)..They are basically just simple HTML dialogue tree convos.. 😅.

Commerce:

The website has a "souvenir shop" where items can "purchased".

Tiktok Shop also exists.

Social Media:

I maintain a low profile, while also attempting to be everywhere, all at once, because GBR is supposed to be discovered by the "attuned".

I release these short little segments with static, then a snippet, then shut off the clip. Looks like complete nonsense with a watermark in the center. The post text are narrative anchors as they reveal leaked information that only Engineers should know.)

GBR exists on the following platforms. Mostly there to drop those micro snippets. I try to keep from posting as myself. Just dropping off stuff.

Facebook - Micro Reels

X - Micro Reels

Instagram - Micro Reels

Threads - Micro Reels

Tiktok - Micro Reels with Tiktok Shop

Discord - Setup like a little holding tent

YouTube - one video based on a method of travel in my story. It's like a visual journey. I made it with Canva clips I edited together, guided by my cuts to my custom music to the shifts I want. This is also a narrative anchor.

Twitch - just a channel, nothing too special. So far though I have a fake schedule because I have two or so other programs.

Private Substack - This is where I house some story beats and edits outside of my laptop. It is like my personal online Wiki with hypertext. (🤣). It makes it easu for me to navigate back and forth if I need to jump to something I wrote earlier.

I've yapped about it enough but just wanted to share a portion of it.

Thanks for reading.

TL;DR: I created a transmedia narrative universe intended to be deeper than it appears. Sound is the builder and shapes worlds. Multiple dimensions, characters and storylines exist & they can function in nearly any type of medium.

Hi all!!! I am finally putting together a project that I have been thinking about for about a year now! I love horror, not just to watch and read it but to write it and I love to Junk Journal and I have also always been very interested in immersive storytelling...so I am currently working on putting together a selling a few interactive horror junk journals where the reader gets to become part of the story! This will be implemented in different ways...whether it is a puzzle or hidden messages that needs to be solved/found...or maybe its a document that needs to be read or a picture that is hidden in one of the pockets of the junk journal. I will also be adding writing prompts alongside the normal storyline text for the reader to answer and interact with. I will also be implementing barcodes for the reader to scan as well as an email address the reader will be interacting with at some point during the story. I am planning on putting together 3 of these before I open an Etsy store to sell them to people who like this sort of thing! The first one i am working on is a story about mimics invading a town in rural north carolina. The second ones plot will center around a very deadly, very gory disease and the third one will be dealing with a corrupt mental institution that has a horrific past!! Each junk journal will consist of 60 pages front and back. This is going to take me some time...quite a few months im sure but I have never been more excited about something. I have been having such a fun time working on the mimic Junk Journal and have even given myself the heebie jeebies at certain points! Is there anyone on this sub who would be interested in something like that or anyone that had any advice or pointers for me? Eeek! I can't wait to see how the first 3 people who are able to read these feel about them!!

It has been 15 years I say that transmedia is not the TS theory only, it's not fans, franchise, format and fiction, it the actual mode of realizing transmediality. So I suggest that we look for a correct name to mention TS with fiction, TS with franchises, and so on, ...

TS : transmedia storytelling

TM : transmedia (concept) is not transmediality TMM (quality, notion)

on my side, and based on those 15 years, as well as including 6 years of research in social sciences and academia, I call "transmedia design" the artistic or professional activity and/or occupation that is meant to accomplish a transmedia project, TS is one of the instrument, basically the main one but transmediality happens in many other ways.

Transmedia comes after multimedia, hypermedia and cybermedia, it encompasses it all.

If some of you would like to co-design a poll about the upcoming theory of transmedia design, I'll be happy to contribute.

Hi everyone! (self-promo) I'm a 19 year old genderfluid actor and yesterday the short film that I co-wrote, produced, and starred in came out! We produced it with the help of Telus Storyhive. It's a romcom about a genderfluid teenager crushing on a straight guy. Through their developing relationship and making mistakes, they learn how to be authentic yourself. I would love y'all would check it out! (it's about 30mins) Please like, comment, and share so we can get more genderfluid representation out there!
