Introduction
The Tales From the Frencoverse is the Frencoverse's official closed-community canonical anthology. Ranging from the (rather old) modern days to the more common post-modern technological tales and future-technology stories, these stories have all conglomerated to create a fluid and expansive collection of canonical literature. It is named after one of the original nations inside of the Frencoverse itself; the New Frenco Empire.
In total, there are eight individual canonical participants that have contributed their own ideas and literature throughout the canon. The stories that are catalogued below serve as both canonical enrichment and our own personal writing projects.
