Record Keeper

My job as a ghost was a genre analyst in the dimensional record keeper department. To properly explain what us poor overworked ghost do, you have to understand that in life, every choice effects the flow of the dimension. Of correct there are certain people or events that have greater influence over this flow, and just like you would do for a story, we call these people major leads and the events, major plot points. And when these two come together, the major leads and the major plot points, the different choices that can be made branch off into different detentions. Now to keep everything nice and orderly every alternate reality needs to be reviewed and sorted, and because authors throughout the universes already created such a wonderful system, we use a combination of genres and tags. And I'm one of the millions of ghost tasked with reviewing and categorizing such dimensions.

It's a little like analyzing a game of pickup sticks. As time is perceived as a whole, each stick represents a beings lifetime while each point of contact is an influential event in the corresponding lifelines. These points of influence can slightly alter the trajectory of the intersecting lifelines. This can take a couple of years to stabilize with the point of most intersections, the major plot point, usually being the last to stabilize. It's when the whole thing snaps in place that it can grow, and a whole new set of sticks can be added to the mix. If there is more then one way for a set to be stabilized it splits into another dimension. However to many dimensions also stretches the fabric of reality and causes the weaker dimensions to disappeared in order to support the stronger ones. There are a whole lot of problems that pop up when a reality dissipates so we try our best to influence the dimensions in ways where as few as possible reality's are created as possible. Which brings me to the topic of my promotion.
