Evil Author Day 2024

Reading Time: 1 Minutes I’m recovering from shingles so I’m exhausted and a little mentally scattered. So, I hope my posts look okay. My offerings are relatively small this year because I posted a lot last year and didn’t leave a lot of what I consider to be active projects unfinished.

2023 in Review

Reading Time: 2 Minutes Every few years, I notice a shift in the tone of my writing. When I was younger, it was off-putting as I was deeply invested in my “voice” as a writer and worked hard to protect it. Eventually, I came to realize that all writers are works in progress, and change is the goal. I never want to stop growing, adapting, and learning how to put together stories in ways that entertain me. As I write this, I’ve busted over 100k on my current Quantum Bang project when my actual goal was just 95k. I don’t know why I thought that was reasonable considering. Anyway, there was a time when I would be immensely disappointed in going so far off the...

I'm a fan fiction writer that occasionally dabbles in original work to fund my hobbies (this site and Rough Trade). I love fandom in general and the writers who populate it for the most part. There are exceptions, of course, and I don't shy away from saying so.

Unsolicited beta is not tolerated on my site and if you persist, it will get you banned from commenting. This is my little spot on the Internet and I don't have to tolerate anyone or their foolish behavior.
