Avi the Tiefling (rough draft)

During high school you had to transfer due to your mother’s job. It was hard, you went from having a really close friend circle to having no one at all. You were a wallflower, a silent onlooker to everything happening in that new and strange land. You tried to make friends but it was awkward. You were pretty smart and a rumor got started that you’d do people’s homework for them. You got absorbed into a rather strange clique, made of some of the popular kids at school who were on the mea...

Bear the Goblin (special preview)

There is so much in this world to enjoy, I can’t understand why some people get so bogged down. Even during bad times, surely there is something you can look at and go ‘ah, that’s worth a smile’. Ever since I was little I was like this, not because I consider myself overly optimistic or anything. I seemed to be able to get excited about whatever.

My father was a highly sought out blacksmith, so our home was always filled with all sorts of adventurers, rouges, hunters, and whatev...

The Sandman: Part One (complete)

Female Main Character x Male Monsters (all cis, poly)

Pleasance had given birth to a boy. The news spread like wildfire all across Miror. When it reached me, I was already aware. I knew it in my bones, so once Dee and Dum delivered it to me, I was not surprised.

“This changes nothing,” I told them. “We keep moving forward.”

“This will make it harder to claim your legitimac...

Rhazien the Orc: Part Three (rough draft)

Once the rain stopped, you were able to move ahead. In a way, the heavy rains actually made it easier for you to traverse deeper into the mountains. It helped clear out paths so they were easy to see. There had also been a rockslide which, in a shocking turn, revealed an opening to a cave that, once explored, turned out to be a sheltered path to the other side of the mountain.

“It could still be dangerous. Rhazien and I will take the lead through the passage just in case. We’ll be s...

The Tweedle Twins: Part Two (complete)

Female Main Character x Male Monsters (all cis, poly)

Over the next few days as I healed, Dee and Dum took turns caring for me. While one stayed at the house with me, the other went out, possibly getting more bodies or going to Somnus. Once I started to feel better I helped around the house. I wasn’t used to housework, but they taught me the basics. I could sew, so I started patching up their...

Cyoa Part One: Heading Out

(Poll is at the bottom! Make sure to answer after you read! I'm so excited to be posting the first part! Please let me know what you think, this is the first thing I've written in a month.)

Everything was ready for when Luke got home. You had packed your bags. Everything you needed to say you had rehearsed like a school play. All you had to do was wait for him to get back from whatever it was he was doing.

You sat on the sofa, fiddling with your fingers o...

CYOA: No Poll but Comments

I’ve been trying all day to narrow down tropes or character types to put into a poll, but it is damn near impossible to do and not feel like I’m trying to be leading.

So instead I’m asking y’all to put down in the comments tropes, characters, and even scenarios you really enjoy! If you see one you like, then like it. From there I’ll be able to gauge what y’all wanna see in the cyoa and can even come back to and use this as a guide post rather than the planned poll.

S...

Rhazien the orc: Part Two (rough draft)

The growl of thunder woke you from an already tentative sleep. The rain had been threatening all day, and now, it was pattering away. You waited for a flash of lightning, and you would count down the seconds until thunder came snarling behind it. Once you knew how far away the storm was, you began plotting what to do come morning. You and your people had been moving further into the mountains since the arrival of Demir was announced. You figured that hiding near Grattertock would protect you,...

The Tweedle Twins: Part One (complete)

Female Main Character x Male Monsters (both cis, poly)

Like most good fairy tales, this one begins because my father married an absolute bitch. My father was a king, you see, and since his only child was me, a girl, he was expected to marry in hopes of providing the kingdom of Miror with an heir. An heir, you see, must have a dick. If the heir does not have a dick, then people lose their minds....

December 2021 Mail Outs

This month we have something extra special! Acrylic charms! Everyone will be getting a random charm that's featured above. I've been sitting on this for  along time and did a test on mailing these out just to make sure you'd be receiving these safely and without issues. 

Everyone, of course, is getting a charm as well as a card from me (it is holiday time after all, so you get a card....

CYOA Poll Results & Update

Okay, so from your votes it looks like You will be arriving in Hearthway Hollow through some sort of mistake or accident. 

And the love interests in the story will be:

A naga, a minotaur, a werewolf, and in a threeway tie, a fae, a demon, and an alien.

I'll get to planning, I already have ideas for how the first part if going to go and I have ideas for the werewolf character. I'll post a couple of more polls here in a bit, but life has been hectic for me this...

Rhazien the Orc: Part One (rough draft)

Times are changing rapidly these days. The Ruby Empire is coming under attack from a Centaur and his hoard. You and your men have been protecting yourselves for decades now and this new threat has you all on edge.

You’re the leader of a tribe of elves that were displaced ages ago. Your mother had once been a queen, but she slept with a common knight and birthed you. She took you, her knight, and her most loyal of subjects into the mountains she you started your tribe. But more strife ...

The Caterpillar: Part Two (complete)

Female Main Character x Male Reader

The Emotions Catalog was fairly new when I joined on. I had been working at the Sacred Archives for some time, so I had a set way of doing things already. Meeting Lutwidge for the first time, I thought I sensed a kindred soul who understood the work we were doing. He seemed so charming and regal upon our first encounter.

“I’m so excited to have a Pl...

Helikayde the Magical Villain (rough draft)

Moving wasn’t as hard as people made it seem. The difficult part would be unpacking simply because you knew how your mind worked. The place you got was out in the country, a tactical move by you as you had grown tired of the hurly burly of the city. After years of protecting the city from all sorts of magically fantastical means of attack, you were exhausted.

Once you drove out of the city limits, your body sank back into the driver seat and you exhaled long and hard. It was a sad mom...

The Caterpillar: Part One (complete)

Female Main Character x Male Monster

Several years ago, I had been hired for a very special job which would put all my expertise and training to the test. This was something I was extremely excited for. It was a dream come true, especially considering all the others who could have been chosen. I was one of the elite, a white rabbit who was born to raise out of her class and station. I was known...

Saito the Orc (rough draft)

Your marriage was an arranged one, and it was not a moment you were looking forward to. You had never met your future husband before the ceremony, and during the entire thing you were shaking like a leaf. Your parents had decided on this union almost at the spur of the moment. He was wealthy and came from a good family name, much like you yourself. The only thing that set him apart was the fact he was an accomplished warrior and had become a hero to Shimokobe. Your parents wanted nothing more...

The Theatre Statues: Part Two (complete)

Female Main Character (cis) x Male Monster (cis) x Male Monsters (nb)

Once I returned to the theatre, rehearsals got tougher. My mother wasn’t giving us any slack as the days drew closer. Since I had the solo, I was being wrung out twice as hard. Lately, I have been noticing Carmine sitting in the seats. Sometimes he’ll be out front, hidden in the shadows. Other times I’ll catch him from ...

CYOA Stage Three: The Love Interest

Since the poly option won I am going to make a huge list of monsters possibly within Hearthway Hollow and the top options will be made into characters and possible love interests for YOU!

You can choose more than one!

CYOA Stage Three: YOU

Since Hearthway Hollow won the poll now is time to decide YOUR fate:

Why are you in Hearthway Hollow?

You're Dead: Chapter Nine (Rough Draft)

I sat in the back of Stevie’s food truck with Booker. The atmosphere was so quiet it was crushing. Freddie was back to normal in the front seat, after having gone through some magical transformation I can’t quite wrap my mind around. Not a word had been spoken since Freddie had to discard his shoes on the street after I blew up all over them.

“You have no idea how much worse you’ve made things on yourself.” Freddie’s voice from the front frightened me. I tensed up into a tig...

The theatre was being renovated and the owner was going to use my father's artwork. The owner’s wife wanted my father to create statues that would greet guests as they came inside. Her one stipulation was that he use pieces of an old carving that used to hang in the theatre to make them.

My father made three statues f...

CYOA Polls: Reaction 2

Ya’ll keep surprising me! Like I am genuinely shocked with how these results have panned out.

I’m very happy the poly option is winning out for romance, gives way to lots of options and characters.

But the one thing that shocks me is what is winning for setting.

Hearthway Hollow? Over the Carnival? Ya’ll are giving me whiplash with these results, but that’s part of the fun of it!

I guess with the next polls we’ll be deciding love interests and stuff! Lemme...

You're Dead: Chapter Eight (rough draft)

For two weeks, I stayed with Bowie. I know it was my own cowardice, but I simply couldn’t go back and face the truth. I didn’t want to be dead. I certainly didn’t want to be a psychopomp. I liked Bowie, being with him felt comfortable. I could feel myself falling for him.

Bowie didn’t ask me many questions either. He didn’t need to know why I stayed with him, why I had nothing to my name. He was happy to have me around. He even told me how nice it was that he finally had some ...
