New One-Shot: All That Glitters · 9:15pm Mar 30th, 2013
Got a new one shot out (finally; the mods are taking forever to approve stories this weekend), called All That Glitters. It's a fan story based on the tumblr blog Ask Glitter Shell. The premise is a sort of alternate universe/alternate interpretation of Snails as a closeted male-to-female transsexual who really prefers to be called Glitter Shell. I thought the premise was a bit WTF myself, but I gave it a shot and didn't regret it. I love the blog itself because it's cute as all hell with good art while not ignoring the sort of problems that transsexuals go through on a regular basis, though the horror of the reality is downplayed. The story I wrote is just a little snapshot of Glitter Shell herself looking for a bit of acceptance in her hero, Trixie, because her parents and her friends certainly aren't giving her any.
I think those who like my more serious work (Dear Spike and One Last Day, namely) will like this, hence why I alerted you folk. It doesn't have quite as dark a tone, but it still has the sort of quality I hope you've come to expect. Enjoy!
