A snippet from my work in progress. I'm still trying to find Tabitha's voice, or at least trying to suss out just how big of a bitch she is.

What if we took the classic meme of the impractically distant internet trans people romance, but instead made it isekai?

Picking a favorite CRPG is impossible. Here's one that had a huge number of firsts that's often overlooked. Ultima VII starts on a murder mystery that grows into a conflict of cosmic proportions. The whole cycle (7,8,& 9) was really ruined by EA acquiring Origin Systems, but 7 parts 1 & 2 hold up.

I spent *way* too much time in my teens and 20s playing MMOs. UO was my first, FFXI was my longest played, but Asheron's Call is my one true love. Drop in and drop out leveling groups, jumping puzzles, skill based system rather than class based, really great lore. (image from storyofasheron.com)

Someone asked what my favorite games were. Favorite's always hard to pick, even within a genre or medium. If you've ever enjoyed adventure games as a genre, you should find a way to play "I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream". It's a wonderful adaptation of the short story by the same name.

Going forward, this is how I will be asking people to read my drafts and give me feedback.

This pleases me mightily, even if I did side load it from the epub.

My first novel is done! My wife was kind enough to do the cover and illustrations.

The Chemist, The Barista, and the Druid is a romance novel where a trans protagonist fumbles their way through college and a fantasy world while trying to understand their self.
