2 New Entries for "Scenes From A Hat!" · 6:07pm Apr 16th, 2023

Just a few humble entries I've had hanging around that I decided were ready to see the light of day. One is a rare foray into 2nd-person perspective with some comedic flashes, and the other is a cross-cultural story with some lovely scenery and possible romantic hints.

Just a few tidbits to tide y'all over. I've got more stuff waiting in the wings, so don't go anywhere. :ajsmug:

Originally intended as an entry in the big sci-fi contest (but sadly not completed in time), it's a new long-form story from yours truly! I hope you all like it!

Improvements to "Scenes From A Hat": Now with tags! · 12:15am Jul 7th, 2022

"Scenes From A Hat" has now been updated so that each chapter title lists the genre and characters relevant to each story, so readers can skip stories that do not interest them and focus on the ones that do. After all, no one story is going to be everyone's cup of tea. So if you've skipped "Scenes" before, it should be easier to hop into it now and pick out the shorts you like! And if you check below the break, I've got a list of each short story and its premise in case any

Next Project: Continuing "RR: A Very Grim Hearth's Warming" · 2:11am Mar 6th, 2022

Just a quick announcement that "Reaping Rainbow: A Very Grim Hearth's Warming" will be the next story I give some attention to. The story had a very warm reception and some great enthusiasm, and the only reason I wasn't able to give it some love was because Passing Familiarity was still being finished and needed more of my creative energy. Now that I'm getting back into things, you can look forward to seeing more Pratchett-style hijinks with Rainbow and her buddy Death in the near

Back in action! · 4:43am Feb 28th, 2022

Hello, everyone! This is just a quick post to say that I'm sorry for taking a little sabbatical after Passing Familiarity, but I think I'm getting back into the groove and there should be some more stuff coming soon, including some blog posts and the continuation of "Reaping Rainbow: A Very Grim Hearth's Warming." And for those of you who were hoping for more canonical Turing Test, I've got some ideas brewing for her too. See you soon!

You're gonna carry that weight. (And, er, sorry it's a few hours late. I wanted to get it as close to perfect as possible. Thank you all so much for your comments and support. It has made this experiment more rewarding than you know.)
