Read My Fiction Masterpost June 2023

yeehaw everybody here's some links to my published writing! there's some on @writeastorywhere as well but here's the links to the Official Shit

also as a side note I spent a couple years trying to decide what name I was using for my writing, so some of em don't say DS Oswald. Don't worry about that I prommy they're all me. also, this is just the stuff that's available online. Maybe i'll edit this with scans of my contributor copies for stuff that's not online.

SHORT FICTION

I'll Be Seeing You (2020) - mlm/wlw solidarity in the apocalypse.

[Untitled] (2021) - a trans girl has some strange dreams. this character's gonna be appearing in Dreamwalkers, my web comic, and this short story will probably be canon.

Vast and Blue (2021) - madness at sea. this was the first issue of the horror mag i co-edit, so I threw in one of my own stories to fill the thing out.

Shrine Maiden (2022) - fantasy lesbian romance between a wandering swordsman and a high priestess of the moon goddess. A novella! And it's free as an ebook and audio book! AND it just turned one year old! Go and give my girls some love.

Ghost Outside the Truck Stop Off I-95 (2022) - pov a dead armadillo starts talking to you. fun fact i had a fucking blood feud with the editors for this because they wanted to completely change one of the stylistic elements.

Suckers (2022) - a lesbian goes to visit her girlfriend's wacky family--oh, and they're all vampires. Silly goofy

What Should We Do With Your Body? (2022) - part of a collaborative murder mystery put together by @vinegarzines! Very fun. I wrote about a transmasc seeing a dead body while high on opiates.

Warmth (2022) - lesbian romance between a fire elemental and a blacksmith. You have to pay for this one but I honestly consider it one of my better 2022 stories.

ALL THE BEST ART (2023) - the first horror story I ever wrote, now published! And available for only two dollars! It's about a spooky painting. it's also about self harm so tread carefully

In. (2023) - horror flash fiction about grief. free! yeehaw!

POETRY

okay ngl. i don't like talking about my poetry and i kind of don't care if people read it as much. but i'm linking it here for those curious

Pagan steals christian imagery asmr // I watched good omens while I was dating someone and you won’t BELIEVE what the result was **NOT CLICKBAIT**

bodies are made to hold other bodies // I only ate your cat because I was angry it seemed so well-adjusted // Joke about nonbinary naming mechanisms

And a Happy New Year

Historical murder mystery, or old school horror tribute?

Give us your opinion!🔪

[whatshouldwedozine]

Hello! I just discovered and read this zine and it was amazing! Loved the concept and the writing!! I'm so dumb but was the mystery explicitly solved anywhere? I wasn't sure if it was purposefully left vague or if I missed something!

Hello! Thank you so much for reading!

The killer's chapter does include references to them covering up after themselves and does explicitly label them as the murderer. However,

while a reader can see what happened, it's left ambigious whether or not the police will be able to solve the crime completely. So whether the killer had time to escape before they were caught or not is something you can consider for yourself.

The interest check for our next project is live!

This interest check is aiming to choose between two ideas for an original zine. Either a historical murder mystery story, or a tribute to classic horror films. More details on our form!

Either idea will focus on writers developing an interlocking story, but we will be bringing in artists to develop the setting and characters as well. Writer, artist, or reader - if you like original content and horror or mystery, help us decide which direction 2023 will take us!

My cover art of the unfortunate Gabriel, from What Should We Do With Your Body?, which is available to download for free on the vinegarzines itch.io page.

It’s a murder mystery told by different writers, set in a small and uneasy mining town. Really fucking good, if I might say so!
