Stuff what I wrote

Available now on Itch.io!!! Pay what you want, if anything!

A poetry chapbook of gender dysphoria, fossilization, being made a monster, and drowning in blood.

This was composed over a period of something approaching a decade through multiple incarnations. Inside are themes of gender dysphoria, transformations, and alienation from others and the self. There is a fair bit about blood. And some weird teeth stuff. If you're into poetry that marries all of this stuff with fossils, geology, and ghosts, while spotlighting in some allusions to Greek myth, you're in luck.

It is 79 pages, just over of 7k words in length and contains work that has previously been published in older incarnations in various online literary magazines which I believe are all defunct now? RIP.

To be released serially starting sometime this fall

Soul Starved is a cyberpunk-adjacent novel starring a young, closeted trans girl and her gaggle of queer weirdos.
Set in 2192 Boston, Massachusetts. After a fantastically disasterous Halloween party that saw the Security called and culminated in being pulled from school entirely, Morgan Abrams has tried his best to disconnect, keep his head down, and not think too hard about tomorrow, only keeping in touch with his best friend, Riley. When an ex-friend turned hated enemy, Brayden, comes calling on the pair to help him out by hacking the Arcology security system to spy on his girlfriend, Morgan agrees only at Riley's insistence and the promise of a huge paycheck.
What they dig up, none of them expected. And now not only is Brayden's girlfriend implicated in a series of monster attacks that have been plauging the Arcology, it looks like Morgan's mother, Rivka, might be the one behind all of it.

The current plan is publish Soul Starved serially, probably on Scribblehub? And also on this website if I can swing it. When fully finished, the compiled ebook will be available on Itchio.io provided the website or the world hasn't burned down by then.

When I first joined a DnD group I got really enthusastic about it. I was also trying to learn Irish at the time and the two kinda meshed together.

Aria

"A new life, a new identity, this is your chance to finally be yourself. Assuming you can even figure out who that is. Unfortunately, given who exactly you're running from it's absolutely critical you keep a low profile.

Don't make friends.
Don't be memorable.
Don't be something you're not.

The consequences if you don't, for you and everyone else – those might be more than you can bear."

Okay, look so. Around 2019 I finished grad school and had a short period while job searching where I suddenly had a lot of free time. I had fallen in love with a Interactive Fiction story by Malin Rydén called Fallen Hero: Rebirth, like completely into it in a way I don't usually get any more as an adult. It might have been my first foray into fandom proper since like, Digimon and I Love Bees. It got me writing fiction again for the first time in years!

Doomed from the Start

All you ever wanted was chance to live your own life. To become your own person.

That feels like a dream now. Or maybe a nightmare.

Your dearest friends betrayed you, the entire world is against you. You'll never be part of it. You see that now. Well. If you're going down. You aren't going down alone. The world is going to burn with you.

Spiraling

Years of planning have come to a fruition in the course of mere hours.

Your destruction of the exhibits at the Heroic Heritage Museum coupled with the crushing defeat of the Los Diablos Rangers should cement your new place among the rogues gallery of Los Diablos.

An out-of-nowhere victory that has come as much of a surprise to yourself as it has to anyone else. You're still alive, still here.

So... Now what?
