rapax – 2.1
Pointing a gun and making a threat was easy, even if that gun weighed fifty kilograms and required a stabilisation rig strapped around the user’s hips. Pulling the trigger would be easy too; Elpida’s mind had already calculated the firefight which would ensue, and she knew it would not be much of a fight. One round from the coilgun would slam a plate-sized hole…

providence or atoms – 2.1
Two weeks and a day after the night which altered my life forever, I did a new and brave thing: I answered my front door at eleven in the morning. Might not seem like much, unless you’re used to seeing monsters around every corner. A month ago, I wouldn’t even have acknowledged the knock. That would risk opening the door to a leering skeletal… -
Empty Cups and Empty Chairs
It is rather simple to deduce what’s missing based on what’s been left behind. A second toothbrush in the bathroom of an old woman’s apartment. A baby’s bib and other such things hidden away in the closet of a quiet couple with sad eyes. A jewelry box under the bed of the local lady’s man, and a dusty engagement ring beneath it. A bracelet… -
corpus – 1.1
A blossom of alchemical fire grew in quiet flesh; a spark took hold in the wet crimson darkness of muscle and marrow and memory. And Elpida choked back to life inside her own coffin. Blank grey steel, inches from her nose. Eyes aching like spent coals, lids rasping like sandpaper. A shallow layer of cold, greasy fluid clung to her back, her buttocks, the… -
Leap of Faith
It was on our sixth meeting that Twilight Sparkle did the impossible. “It’s not fair!” Sweetie Belle’s voice echoed in the lobby, the pout on her face doing a fantastic job at making her look like a chipmunk. I’d have noted how endearing it was if I was not busy pouting myself. “Sweetie Belle, honestly!” I whispered urgently, smiling briefly at the curious security…

Nadia was born the heiress to a corporate empire, destined for a life of wealth and privilege in what used to be America.

Necroepilogos
Nothing walks the black cinder of Earth except the undead leftovers, reanimated by science so advanced it may as well be magic. Twisted into unimaginable forms by flesh-shaping and machine-grafting, the undead are the only remnant of a civilization reduced to bitter ash and organic slurry.

Any shortcode with the splide parameter can be turned into a slider. Splide is a flexible and lightweight slider that comes with many options for customization, although applying them may be challenging if you are not familiar with JSONs. You can look up the details yourself.
The splide parameter only accepts JSON strings, such as splide="{'type':'loop','perPage':3}". Note that you need to use single quotes due to the shortcode syntax. If there is even a minor error, the JSON will be rejected with a note, and the shortcode will default to its standard layout. Not all parameter combinations have been tested with Splide, so custom CSS may be required in some cases.
If you do not want to initialize a slider on page load, you can add the no-auto-splide CSS class via the class parameter in the shortcode or custom HTML (where the splide class is). Normally, Splide’s assets are only enqueued when a shortcode with the necessary parameter is found in the post content, but you can enable Splide globally under Fictioneer > General > Compatibility.
[fictioneer_showcase for="chapters" orderby="rand" count="18" aspect_ratio="2/3" splide="{'type': 'loop', 'gap': '1.5rem', 'autoplay': true, 'perPage': 6, 'breakpoints': {'767': {'perPage': 4}, '479': {'perPage': 3}}}"]-

Vertical sliders are possible, albeit their usefulness is dubious.

If you enable Splide globally (or have a slider shortcode on the same page), you can use the HTML block to create your own Slider. Just copy the base structure and add any slides you like, although you will need to style them yourself using custom CSS. Initialize the slider with the data attribute JSON, but this time with double quotes as shown in the example. Unlike with shortcodes, navigation arrows are enabled by default but can be turned off with "arrows:" false.
