Hi guys, I've played some of the touhou games and I love the culture involved, but I have to wonder where it all comes from. Is there more to it than just the games and fan art? Where does all the interaction between characters honestly come from? Is it all non-canon or is there something other than the games creating it?

There are official stories

There is a few things written by Zun. But yes, it's mostly the fandom the one that creates the Touhouverse.

That made me want to be a fan of Touhou, though it also makes some people hate it.

which everyone ignores and just does their own shit

As long as we're asking silly questions, could someone link me to a seeded torrent with all the touhou games (including the PC-98 ones)?

Thanks.
While I'm asking dumb questions what would be the best way for me to delve deeper into the touhouverse than just playing the games?
