ByteMind1138 is the home of my stories, my podcasts, and my ongoing experiments in storytelling. The name Alan Denis is a pen name, a version of myself amplified and filtered through imagination. Think of it as a playful lens I use to explore ideas, worlds, and concepts that live outside the ordinary.

This site isn't just a collection of stories, it's a living, digital record of the worlds I create, the ideas I chase, and the questions I can't stop asking. Everything here is crafted, curated, and maintained by me. There are no ads, no sponsors, and no hidden agendas.

Writing, as practiced by many skilled writers, is an art form I admire but do not claim to master. Instead, my focus is on world-building, conceptual storytelling, and using AI tools to bring complex ideas to life in a way that feels fresh and exploratory.

I'm not trying to compete with classic literary craft, this is a different kind of narrative journey, one that embraces experimentation and imagination over polished prose.

Alan Denis is a persona, a narrative device, a way for me to engage with storytelling differently. You won't find my real name here, but you will find worlds, voices, and perspectives that are uniquely mine, and uniquely designed to let readers and listeners step into something just a little beyond the everyday.

I also maintain extensive notes for these stories, both digital and handwritten. Some are fully formed, others are fragments or fleeting thoughts that come to me daily. The persona of Alan Denis is exaggerated, but not by much. These notebooks and notes are very real, and they are the source of everything you see here.

I use AI to help tell these stories. Many of these ideas have been running around in my head for decades without an outlet, and AI is my way of giving them form, shape, and life. I don't see myself as an author in the traditional sense. I'm a world builder and conceptual architect. I create intricate universes, design large-scale conflicts, and develop the mythological frameworks that stories can grow from. AI helps me translate these complex visions into readable narratives for others to experience and expand upon.

My strength lies in envisioning interconnected realities and the systems that govern them - the kind of large-scale narrative architecture that supports multiple stories across different media.

I am always looking for collaborators, people with ideas, creativity, or perspectives that can help expand these universes to their fullest. If you're interested, you can reach me at alan@bytemind1138.com.

I post updates on some social media platforms to share new stories, podcasts, and announcements, but I do not engage in ongoing conversation there. This is simply how I work. I focus on creating and sharing stories rather than social interaction. If you want to reach me personally, the best way is by email. I read and respond to messages there, so that is the proper channel for anyone who truly wants to get in touch.

Welcome to ByteMind1138. This is where the stories live, the notebooks are digitized, and imagination is allowed to roam free.
