Convincing you to read my novel by the first passage.

From 'Unlimited Combat Dolls'

Available soon, preorders available here:

1 From a Planted Seed My awakening is a thing of broken noses and bloody teeth. It’s clear from this beginning, that first jeering schoolyard beatdown: the rules of this world are not meant to protect me. I wear a flesh and blood body, nominally mine to do with as I please, but to exist in this way is to dance among lines drawn by strangers, and to cross them is to invoke the self-righteous violence of people who’ve decided they know best. Ordinarily this wouldn’t be an enormous challenge. Tolerable, if distasteful. But I’m a woman, and I’m the only one who seems to believe it.

Also, if Poison Lilies November, a bundle containing some of my older work, hits its goal of $7k raised (currently at 80%!) I'll release the first two chapters for free!

If you're curious about UCD, consider checking it out at this link :3

Unlimited Combat Dolls is now three months away, and I figure it's time to start introducing you to the cast!

Say hello to our protagonist and resident sorrowful killing machine: Dragonfly.

You can get her misadventures here:
tinylesbianrobot.itch.io/unlimited-co...
www.amazon.com/dp/B0FNCDLSDT
Character page for Dragonfly. Characterizes her as 'reluctant protagonist', 'will change the world or drown in it', and 'breaks into the shape of a knife'. Features art of the character on the right, a mechanical woman with tattered grey attire, brown skin, red eyes, and black hair, carrying a long rifle and a heavy case across her back. At the bottom, the graphic says Unlimited Combat Dolls releases on February 10, 2026.

80% of the way to our third goal of $7k!

Once we hit 100%, I'll release the first chapter of Unlimited Combat Dolls for free, maybe even the first two if I'm feeling nice, I think they're better together :3

Live vicariously through some violent lesbians here:

I particularly love it when it's the protagonist getting routinely put on her ass, because then you get lots of other opportunities to demonstrate that the protagonist is competent, but the rival is just that much better

example from Unlimited Combat Dolls :3
And she draws her blade with a ring of forged titanium. “You can’t be serious,” escapes me in a weak laugh, as panic starts to set in. Even if the Shield Wall weren’t a factor I know I’m no match for her at this range. “Funny. This is the first time I’ve been subjected to such an accusation.” And she lunges, a single forceful stride setting her hurtling at me like a bullet. It’s all I can do to raise my knife at the last instant and catch her sword on its flat, redirecting her stab with so little room to spare I can feel the blade’s point graze my ribs. She’s on me now, her eyes widened to a fiery stare, her breathing hard but measured, I can see her irises through her glasses, pale blue rings, complete and un-eclipsed by a hooded lid for the first time I can remember. She’s stirred herself into a frenzy. Is that my only hope or the final nail in the coffin?

oh wow it actually just sees it right away
I don't have a tape just yet, but I do have a suite of LTFS tape management software already installed that I found previously, so I think I've done about as much as I can until I finally have an LTO-5 tape in hand

We've set our third goal at 7k, and I have a juicy proposition for you...

Are you excited about Unlimited Combat Dolls?

If we can hit 7k, I'll release a preliminary version of the first chapter for free, and I'll do it immediately :3

Get your copy of the bundle here: itch.io/b/3364/poiso...

Did you know that A Quiet Universe has an audiobook?

Both the digital version and the audio version are included in this bundle, a package typically costing $10 on its own! It's only $5 more for that and 23 other titles (including several other audiobooks!)

It's hard to overstate the steal :3

next part of my tape setup has arrived! high-throughput SFF-8088, to transfer data fast enough to meet the drive's needs

it's hard to convey how chunky these connectors are in a photo

first proof that I'm largely satisfied with has arrived~

I still need to make some tweaks (overcorrected the colours, now it's too washed out) but the layout looks great :3

after release you'll be able to get a paperback like this one at the link!

Shows a white-suited figure with a pixel-censored face being scanned and studied by threat assessment technology, and features the title in bold red text that's distorted by glitches. Back and spine of Unlimited Combat Dolls. Back of Unlimited Combat Dolls. It's laid out like some sort of sci-fi terminal, with the blurb in a red-outlined window, framed by the book's tagline: Dragonfly's body is not her own.

the first part of my tape archival setup has arrived!

this is a cleaning cartridge, but the tapes look like this too :3

I don't think a lot of people know much about enterprise tape archival so I'm gonna be happily posting about this as parts arrive and I get it working

my favourite part of getting set up for tape archival might unironically be that I need to install one of these

sticking weird expansion cards into my PC so I can connect to weird black boxes that do very specific jobs makes me feel delightfully Lain Iwakura-pilled
