A Little Bit of Everything (short story)

New story complete - to be posted on Scribblehub relatively soon!

So I actually wrote a good chunk of this story six months ago, based on a tossed-off joke by the inimitable blake1 (support her stories here!!: https://www...

Xmas Story

Hey everyone! Merry Christmas!

So if you've been following me for a while, you know that every year I do a Secret Santa story exchange thing, and typically publish my story as a part of a bundle. This year... I missed the bundle, lol. But here it is:

Checking in (July 2024)

Hey everyone,

Regrettably, I don't have much in the way of progress for you. I've had some frustrating health issues (that I hope are maybe getting better now), and have been pretty firmly stuck on TDB. I figured I might talk a bit about that though, maybe sort out my thoughts.

(CW fo...

TDB Check-in (1-27)

Hey everyone!

Don't have that much new for you, but wanted to let you know how things are going. I've more or less got my edits done for what will now be chapters 1-27, which takes us through the end of the presentation. All of that is available in the linked document, and this cor...

Teenage Dirtbag edits (11-14)

Hiii all,

Progress is continuing, and going well! I know this looks like only four chapters of edits, but it actually includes effectively 2 1/2 entirely new chapters within that, like over 7000 words of added content! I've put them in the same file as before, so take a look to see even mor...

Teenage Dirtbag 1-10 revised w/ new

Hey all!

As mentioned, I've been re-editing the beginning of this story, as I always felt like it was kind of the weaker part of it, and not everything fit with the later elements that I thought of as I went. This wound up including quite a bit of new stuff, with some extra parts added in t...

Kiss & Tell

Hey everyone! I had a weird idea get stuck in my head over the weekend, and sat down for a few hours, and wrote a short story. So here you go: a 3600 word sapphic short story about schoolgirls and secrets.

Not sure how good and/or complete this feels, lol. Despite some elements of the endin...

Progress Update 1/31/24

Hey everyone!

Just want to check in and let you know what I've been working on this month. My current focus is on Teenage Dirtbag, which I really dearly want to finish, but which has been lingering for a while and feels difficult to wrap up in a satisfying manner. In order to hop...

Secret Santa Bundle 2024

Hey everyone! We've just released the bundle for this year for the Secret Santa thing, which Chosen Family Tree was written for. There's some really good stories in here, and it's a great opportunity to support thirty different trans authors.

I've not had the chance to read everything yet (...

Chosen Family Tree (Secret Santa 2023 Story)

It's fully done now! And wow it turned out to be longer than expected...

Fun fact: this story has more words in it than John Steinbeck's acclaimed novella, Of Mice and Men. However, if you're going to read a story about the Great Depression, I'd like to note that mine has girls in it who ki...

WIP - Secret Santa Story 2023

NOTE: I don't think any of my followers here are, but if you're someone from the Lair who's participating in the event, please don't read this story!

Doing this a bit early this year... I've always found the yearly secret santa prompt exchange event on the private writing server I'm on to b...

WIP - Wrecked

Okay! Here is an in-progress draft of the story I've been working on, please read this whole post for some discussion about the circumstances and stuff:

My intention was to have this done a week ago, as it was originally written as part of a bundle thing with some writer friends. When thin...

Quick Update

I know I've been a bit quiet recently, but actually, I've had a really nice burst of creativity! I'm working very hard right now to put together a little something for a prompt/bundle that some friends and fellow authors are doing, and... Well, if it all comes together, I think people are going t...

Teenage Dirtbag ch. 30

Just like I promised! :)

Hopefully this all works well enough, because the latter half of this chapter is kind of an important moment that I've been wanting to make sure I included, but couldn't quite figure out how to fit in until here.

Can't promise the next chapter quiiite as quick...

Teenage Dirtbag Ch. 29

As always, thanks for your patience. :)

Next chapter will be posted on Thursday. No, that's not a joke either. :) :)

Pausing for Another Month

Still having trouble getting things together, still feeling really frustrated about it. I'm pausing for a month and am going to continue to try to work through that month to get back to a place where I can write again.

If for some reason someone is reading this who is new and who was intere...

Check in / update

Hey everyone!

So it's been a frustratingly long bit since I've had anything for you. ...and I say frustrating because I've really really wanted to write, but had a lot of things get in the way recently. Some of those were good (I finally got a couple of surgery things done that I've been tr...

Teenage Dirtbag ch28

Heyyy here's that chapter I promised. :) It's chapter 28, and I've put it in the same document as the rest of the chapters in the back half of the story. It's a pretty hefty one, too! I could maaaaybe split it in two at the break? Not certain - something else to think through once it's all done.<...

Brief February Update

Hey everyone,

As is unfortunately typical for winter for me, I've gotten a lot less done than I would have liked this February. I had really hoped to have some chapters for you today, but it looks like that's not going to happen quite yet, so I'm pausing billing for a month as I try to get ...

Lifestyles of the Lich and Aimless

Happy holidays everyone! I've got a gift for you: it's the story I wrote for Secret Santa this year! And it's just what you asked for: a 30,000 word lesbian romance starring a skeleton. 

This is sort of a weird story... on one hand, it's a rather serious look at processing grief and le...

Charm & Charitability (ch 1-3)

(Note for $2 patrons: As soon as I totally finish this, I'll have a second post with access to the full story for you)

Okay, this is one that I started a bit ago and figured would be easy, but then the scope blew up and I got stuck on it for a bit. Stop me if you've heard _that_ one before....

Story Directory

I figured it might make sense to have a post with all of my stuff in it together in an organized fashion, in case anyone might have missed something that they would like to read. So here you go!
