Hello hello everyone!
So, it's been wall to wall robots on the ol' patreon for a bit, and I love robots, but lets switch it up a little for the new year. So, without further ado:
JANUARY MICROFIC THEME: Fantasy Epic
And that's epic as in 'an epic', not 'wow that's epic'. Look, I can't stand D&D, I'm more of an indie ttrpg kinda person. But I do love a good fantasy world! So let's get some magic and adventure and dungeon crawling going this month!
2021-01-04 19:29:20 +0000 UTC View PostHey everybody,
This month's story got a little away from me, especially since I realized I had missed a little context by basing it off the version of the prompt I pared down to fit in the poll boxes instead of the original. It ended up kinda.. wistful? Ponderous? I think winter, and the end of a year is a good time for that kind of energy though, so I hope you enjoy.
Anyway, I don't have much to say cuz I'm kinda sorta taking it easy while my partner's on vacation and I gotta get...

Well, I've yet to get a pretty, snowy day here in Chicago, but reading these prompts has been keeping me going through dreary grey skies. Now, to pick one for me to actually write! (Also, we're going back to one vote per person. It just feels better to me!)

I don't know about you, but I've spent every day of December (and much of November tbh) staring out the window wistfully wishing for snow to make the world feel a little less grey. I have yet to be rewarded for my impatience, which is why I'm declaring this month's theme:
DECEMBER MICROFIC THEME: A cold and snowy day together
Ah snow. Beautiful, dreamy. Perfect snuggle weather! Scary to be chased through! Pretty open ended this time, so I look for...
2020-12-04 19:44:50 +0000 UTC View PostHello y'all,
Not much to ramble about this month! The story ended up a little sillier than I expected, but here we are. Hope you enjoy it!

Alright, I know that things are and will continue to be wild as 2020 marches towards it's end kicking and screaming, but here we are again! New month, new theme.
NOVEMBER MICROFIC THEME: Rivals
They hate each other completely and totally down to the bone, and definitely don't have any other feelings at all. Not even a little. Are they a hunter chasing a monster? Two girls fighting over a position in student government at their college? A hero a...

Happy Halloween! Stay safe and have fun with whatever you're up to. I'm running an impromptu game of Catch The Devil, which should be quite fun!
This one ended up a little longer, and quite a bit more ponderous than usual. I hope you enjoy!

Theme: Monster Pairings

Suggestion by: Modren (Thank you!)

Happy Halloween! I know we just did a monster month in August, but it's my Patreon and I can do what I want, and right now what I want is odd couples!
HALLOWEEN ( OCTOBER) MICROFIC THEME: Monster Pairings
I took suggestions for monster pairings on Twitter a while back and got some really exciting and fun combos. Be creative, think outside the box! Vampire/werewolf is the classic suggestion, but what about something weirder?

Second prompt complete! Try not to tie next month, it's hard to do two Patreon stories back to back, even if they are shorter than normal.
Joking aside, thanks for waiting! October's theme will be announced tomorrow!

Another month, another tie! So, here's the first of the two winners!
September took a bit out of me if I'm being totally honest, so I'm a bit behind on everything (surprise surprise). I should be posting the second September story in the next day or two, then announcing October's (spooky) theme the day after. Then I should be able to get myself back on track.
Thank you for your patience! Hope you enjoy!

Hey y'all!
The microfic postcards I've started are one of the most fun experiments I've done in a while. Soooo I'm spitballing ideas on how to get them in more hands! If you're at all interested, please check out this poll. None of this is binding- I'm just weighing my options between making them more accessible, and making sure I'm not undercharging for something I put a lot of love into.
At the moment, postcards are a physical reward at the $30 tier, delivered monthly starting t...

So, I'm thinking something a little different this month, just to shake things up. How do y'all feel about sequels?
SEPTEMBER MICROFIC THEME: The Sequel Treatment!
Got a favorite story I've written, or one that you're just really craving a second helping of? Then this is the month for you!
It could be something I wrote for Patreon, Twitter, or whatever you like! It should be something I wrote though. If you have a link handy, drop it i...
2020-09-03 21:17:35 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone,
The second story from the tie ended up a lil longer just cuz I had no idea how to connect the beginning and the end in a succinct way. Also I really love theoretical slime girl day-to-day logistics.
Anyway, I'll announce September's theme and start taking prompts tomorrow, so look out for that!

So I'm slowly starting to catch up to my backlog of writing I've been putting off, this time with another one of the extra prompts from last year that I loved but didn't get to write. Once I finish the last few of these, I'll be launching a nice PDF version of those stories, which should be fun!
Because this is part of the wrap up from Year 1, I'm making this post public, so share with your friends if you think they might enjoy it!

Another great month of suggestions! Any one of these would be an absolute ball to write. I had to edit some of these a lot to get them to fit in the microscopic 140 character poll boxes, but hopefully the spirit of each of them carries through.
Another small note, if one of the stories that references hypnosis wins, I may have to host that off site and link to it. Patreon gets weird about hypnosis content for aggressive respectability reasons.
Anyway, get to...

So, my production schedule has been a little bit scrambled cuz I got a 'permanent layoff', but I'm bouncing back. The money I make from writing isn't nearly enough to pay my bills at this time (or else I'd just do this full time tbh), but it does mean that I'm not in any like, immediate danger while I'm looking for a new job. So don't worry about me too much!

So, I was hoping to have this done yesterday so you could actually have like. Actual early access, but hey- the important thing is that I'm releasing a collection of about half of my Twitter microfics released since I really got started in late 2018. It's 300ish pages, and focused on the soft side of my writing (the rough stuff collection is still in progress, should be done soonish)
It's the first thing on itch.io I've released with a real price tag- $10 to be exact....
