Hey! You! Chronically online millennial looking at this ad!
Do you like lesbians? Do you like queer urban fantasy? Are you sick and tired of Chicago being the main character of every story and wish you could live in the faerie suburbs? Most important of all, do you like free shit?
Great, because this
is for you, and you don’t have to pay one single piece of money for it. In fact, odds are I’ve paid money to put this in front of your eyeballs in the worst Blazed post of all time. But if you’re already here, you might as well click one tiny little link for me. What could it cost you?
Click here for part one of Grocery Shopping is a Dangerous Job, a cozy urban fantasy novella about internalized classism, disability metaphors, shapeshifting of all flavors, F/F and trans!M/F relationship sideplots, and most important of all, what happens when you try and fight a kaiju with a mop after drinking half a gallon of cold process soap at thin trace.
Now, right now that link only goes to part one. Part two will be posted 3 May 2024, so, you know, after I’ve fought the horrible beast known as HTML style tags in the great game of copy/paste. Builds up the suspense, as they say. But I’m only gonna enjoy posting it if you read my story and send me hate mail about how much it sucks. And it has to be detailed hate mail, guys. None of that lazy shit. Tell me what specifically pissed you off or don’t bother.
There! That’s the end of the ad! Go do something useful with your life now, like read my story!

Do you like urban fantasy? Do you crave more stories about running errands? Do you yearn for speculative marine biology? Do you need an excuse to cancel on an annoying social obligation? Is AO3 just not hitting the same anymore? And, most especially, are there books you can’t read any longer because the author’s metamorphosed into a package of meat infected with botulism?
If any of those things are true, congratulations! I have 100% free, organically grown, aposematically advertised fiction for you personally that has infected your dash like mold and will continue to do so.
Thanks to my haters I have refined my copywriting strategy - while it’s certainly true that there are gay and trans people here doing things like eating street food and joking about Christmas markets and turning one another into safety pins, there is more to a plot than “HERE BE QUEERS” or even “FUCK THAT ONE AUTHOR IN PARTICULAR I’M STEALING THEIR SHIT”. There’s a plot! This plot is about a group of nineteen-year-old students (and one recent graduate), some of whom are faeries, deciding to hang out on the last Saturday before the end of winter break in 2003. Things go differently than they planned, ending in a haphazard battle with a very unhappy monster. It’s raw, it’s imperfect, it’s outsider, and it can also be read completely for free on Tumblr! Presented in links to two parts immediately below the cut.
