Cherrywood Manor: Part Six (complete)

Female Main Character x Multiple Monsters

Lydia woke to the sound of canvas being scraped. She rolled over in bed, bracing her arm over her eyes as the curtains had been flung wide open.

“What the hell are you doing?”

Kouri took the paintbrush from between his teeth. “I wanted to paint you.”

Lydia flopped her arm down and pulled the comforter up over her eyes. “Can...

Hau the Merman: Part One (special preview)

The strange cries came from the shore after a horrible storm. I had thought it might just be the gulls celebrating a wonderful feast, but the more I listened, the stranger the sounds became. Despite the persistent rain, I traversed down the rocky path towards the strange sounds.

It was as cold as hell and my whole body seemed prepared to be dashed upon the rocks with as choppy as the sea was. I climbed down the narrow path, managing somehow to keep the lantern in my hand. I was used to ...

Benedict the Vampire Centaur (rough draft)

As a child I began developing a rash all over my body. It was painful and horrible, and it caused me to cry at all hours of the day. It strained my parent’s both mentally and physically, as it seemed nothing could placate me.  It seemed that only at night did my screams quiet and I was able to find some semblance of peace.

My parents were worried, for more than just the obvious reasons. They feared some sort of curse had been placed upon the family, especially when my mother beca...

Cherrywood Manor: Part Five (complete)

Female main Character x Multiple Monsters (cis & nonbinary)

Watching your best fall for someone you hated was never easy. Eden had watched Lydia become enamored with a man too old for her, who also set off too many warning signals. But by the time this was all happening, Eden was heading to school and they couldn’t do much to halter the progress other than keeping up with Lydia over the p...

Huntress in the Castle: Chapter Two (rough draft)

Two:

My fingers are wrapped around the iron of the gate again. I am the only one that close. The others are behind making bets and laughing, bragging despite their fear to even come as close as me.

“I’ll go in first.” One says.

“You’ll chicken out as soon as we open the gates!” Another laughs.

“Fianna, you get off of there.” Craig barks at me.

I turn from the gate, one hand still attached. “Let me go in!” I call to the boys.

“No way....

Cherrywood Manor: Part Four (complete)

Female Main Character x Multiple Monsters 

The interior of the manor was not Lydia’s only focus. What she had originally intended was for the renovations to begin on the exterior of the home. She had plans for the roof, repainting, repairing several of the windows and their frames, as well as replacing the doors and completely redoing the front porch. It was these attempts that got her i...

Osgood the Mimic: Part Two (rough draft)

I watched the sunrise over the canopy of trees as the sky faded from black, to purple, to pinks and oranges that radiated warmth along the horizon. The rays of the sun stretched out, reaching the Tugly Wood which caused an uproar of singing from the creatures within.

“Don’t you miss this?” Osgood asked.

I breathed in the dewy, cool air. “I see sunrises where I am now.”

“I mean, here, like this. Sitting on top of Tulgey Wood, close to the heavens. Do you do that w...

Cherrywood Manor: Part Three (complete)

Female Main Character x Multiple Monsters

When Lydia first moved into Cherrywood Manor, she had been offered a lot of promises. On the threshold of her new home she saw inside the dark woods and carpets, an outdated relic like her husband. She was full of hope though, and even as the door shut behind her, she refused to acknowledge the feeling of chains slowly growing around her. She would stil...

Osgood the Mimic: Part One (rough draft)

I feel a yearning for my home when I wake up in the mornings. I lay there in bed, missing the feeling of being cradled high up above the ground. I hadn’t seen my family in a few years, not since I left to explore the world.

Before that I had never met another human, which was part of the initial journey. My family didn’t want me to leave the nest, but they thought it would be best for me to spend time around my own kind. They gave me some clothes and treasure from their hoard and se...

Female Main Character (cis) x Multiple Male Monsters 

Lydia woke up with the foggy memory in her head of what happened in the laundry room. Her barely awake mind drifted to sensations rather than sights. She breathed deeply as that rush of endorphins came to her upon remembering that final, climatic jolt that recharged her very being. It had been ages since that last happened, and just as ...

Huntress in the Castle: Chapter One (rough draft)

One:

Once upon a  time, my Granny told me my fate rested in the forest. It was where I would find an evil meant for me. Now, every family had a different story they told their wee ones on why they should never ever go into the forest. Unlike those tales though, my Granny’s story turned out to be true. My Granny, you see, was an oracle. She could see into the future. She could see the things that other people couldn't.

She told me, many a time, that I should never ever go in...

Cherrywood Manor: Part One (complete)

Female Main Character x Multiple Male Monsters

For weeks there had been renovations going on at Cherrywood, a stately Victorian manor that had been the crown jewel of it’s suburb. Locals had tried to get the renovations to be stopped, citing the house was a historical landmark, and whining about property values. The new owner of the house Lydia Southard-Cherrywood, widow to the previous owner...

Rafael the Centaur: Part Two (rough draft)

The surgery went well, and a day later I was able to bring him home. He’s mostly been resting since then, staying to himself in the room I set up for him. But partly, I think he’s doing that because of something he said on the way home while he was still a little dopey on painkillers.

I didn’t think too much of it, while it had been shocking at the time, I figured the painkillers had caused the outburst so I put it behind me. It has been awkward, and while he’s been able to move...

Mila of the Polar: Part Two (complete)

Female Main Character x Male Monster (both cis)

There is a row of mountain peaks that come between the Polar at the Northern Seas. They are so jagged and sharp, so covered with ice and snow, that they look like teeth bearing down upon the earth. They had been called the Fangs because of this. The Fangs are so treacherous that no one has ever been able to pass them and live. Ages ago my ancestor...

Recent bad press had led me to make a series of decisions I never thought I would make. But that’s been life until this point, a bunch of unexpected things I could never plan for. I should know by now not to count on being comfortable or settling, because so far that’s only caused me anxiety.

I never expected my small baking channel to garner any sort of popularity online. I never expected to be offered a chance to do a television show. I always hoped, but never dreamed, I would hav...

We received the news early in the morning that Obresh has been liberated. It was a tremendous weight off our shoulders. Obresh was the biggest port in the Empire, having it under Sanguis’ control had put a huge wall in front of our efforts.

“It feels like a miracle,” Dhaval said to me.

I scoffed as I went over the letters we had ...

Griz the Lizardman (rough draft)

A recent storm had hit Blackforte, causing a lot of damage to buildings around the seafront area. Your place had been hit quite hard, taking on water damage on the ground floor and the front porch had been totally obliterated by your favorite tree. To your surprise, your favorite tree being uprooted had hurt the worst out of everything that had happened.

“I’m having a hard time finding someone who can do the repairs,” you lament as you sit in the diner. The room is packed, filled ...

I’ve noticed one of the regular patrons has taken a shining to Silke and it’s not one I would recommend polishing. He’s a rough type, and not in the usual orcish way that is accepted. I don’t like the way he looks at her, nor the way he sneers at his friends when she walks away from the table. I’ve told Silke to stop bei...

March 2022 Mail Outs: Spring Cleaning


It's going to be a bit different in March with the mail outs, because I’m doing some spring cleaning and organizing! (Totally edited because spring cleaning sounds so much better than the sports reference.)

You'll be getting special mystery gifts this time featuring new and old items so I can make room for what’s to come in the rest of the year.

Mancini the Pink Raksahsa (rough draft)

His voice on the other end of the line was exactly what I needed to hear. I’d just quit my dream job and had been sitting in my own filth for a week. The phone rang to some strange number, and I almost cried when he spoke those magic words to me.

“I need your help.”

I hadn’t seen him in years, not since I wanted to take fashion seriously. We’d parted amicably but I still felt tension whenever I thought about him and what he could possibly be doing. Now, as I waited for h...

A while back, you had discovered a community online that piqued your interests. It started when you began using ASMR videos to help you get to sleep at night. From there it took you into voice acting. It was amazing to you how many were out there, and not just the ones who did cartoons. There was so much more than you expected, and it drew you in rapidly.
