CHAPTER ONE

Fabled is an incentivized experimental art factory on Bitcoin.

24/7 auctions

CHAPTER ONE

Chapter One is focused on particular artists and themes and it is the conceptual chapter of the Fabled art factory.

Chapter One thrives on storytelling, letters that make up words that make up stories + visuals.

WordPlay: Experimentation with the sounds, definitions, and/or constructions of words to produce new and interesting meanings.

Examples of a Play on Words
Anthimeria, Nouns to Verbs, Verbs to Nouns, Double Entendre, Kenning Metaphor, Malapropism, Metalepsis, Oxymoron, Palindrome, Paraprosdokian, Portmanteau, Spoonerism etc

THE TINIES

Genesis - The Tinies is the first Chapter One series by Fabled.

26 Letters, 26 Tinies, 26 Days, 26 Auctions. All Tinies are 1/1s .
Settlement of one auction kicks off the next. Each time an auction is settled, the transaction will also cause a new Tiny to be inscribed and a new 24-hour auction to begin.

Auction participants/bidders and Fabled inscription holders/winning bids help curate future collections by voting on upcoming artists and themes. Fabled ordinals generate $stardust Runes,BTC,WBTC and other assets as yield (Flywheel will be revealed at launch).Bidders that didnt win the auction get rewarded as well.

Users can bid on daily auctions by simply connecting their MM wallet, and paying with wbtc on BOB. The winning ordinals will be sent to their Bitcoin taproot wallet.

Other Chapter One collections along with Chapter Two
(GenArt, pfps, AI, derivs etc) will start when all 26 Tinies are auctioned.

Our objective is to experiment with building an identity for Fabled, governance, community curation and a diverse treasury
to be used by the community.

A very "Gorey" Story: A Macabre Alphabet Book of Dreadful Ends, a witty and disquieting journey from A to Z.

In 1963, prolific illustrator and writer Edward Gorey published an alphabet book so grimly antithetical to the very premise of the genre — making children feel comfortable and inspiring them to learn — that it took the macabre humor genre to a new level. Written in sprightly dactylic couplets, The Gashlycrumb Tinies was inspired, said Gorey, by “those 19th century cautionary tales, I guess, though my book is punishment without misbehavior.”

It is the story of 26 children (each representing a letter of the alphabet) and their untimely, weird, and mundane deaths. None of them come out of it alive. But we don’t really see the deaths of any of the children, only the events that occured right before, which ironically makes it all the more eerie.

Chapter One - The Tinies/Genesis , Ordinals on Bitcoin

The Tinies is the first Fabled mint, a digitized hand-drawn and manually optimized illustration series, commissioned explicitly for the Fabled platform. The collection is inspired by the notorious abecedarian children’s book The Gashlycrumb Tinies by the award-winning writer/illustrator Edward Gorey.
The Tinies welcome dark humor and thrive on impactful storytelling.
Letters that make up words that make up stories

The inscriptions have maintained the original text and story from Gorey’s book but with new original art and different names. In a classic crypto culture twist the new names will sound familiar…

Edward Gorey’s camp-macabre, ironic-gothic outlook—his “mission in life,” he said, was “to make everybody as uneasy as possible because that’s what the world is like”

—seems right for our times.
