“…Which is why you should be careful to include his wife in as much of the conversation as possible.” Vrina finished, and Ana’s eyelid twitched again. They’d just spent the better part of an hour going over the dos and don’ts of dining with a male from another household, and she’d been overwhelmed...

“You’ve got to be joking. No. I won’t do it.”
Seamus scoffed, “Oh come off it. Every teenage lad dreams of being told he has to fuck for his country.”
“Firstly, this isn’t my country, and secondly, they’re not even human! It’s disgusting. I’d rather get burned to deat...

This time, Tommy walked through the checkpoint with his head held high.
In the days following his run-in with the off-duty soldiers, he’d done a lot of soul-searching. He’d replayed his conversation with Seamus in his mind a do...
2024-02-22 20:34:56 +0000 UTC View PostI'm still experimenting with the best ways to notify everyone in lower tiers about their content unlocking, since I want it to be as easy for you to find your chapters as possible but I also don't want to overfill my feed.
In future I will likely write a template for an update similar to this one, then provide links from it to the relevan...

“There will be no further questions”
The PR officer gave Ana a weary look as she turned back from addressing the crowd, and she lowered her head into a slight bow. “Thank you, Specialist Cardoso,” she said, whatever trick she’d used to amplify her voice now gone. “I’m sure you’re looki...

“Absolutely.”
Jel’s eyebrows shot upwards, and he had to stifle a smile at the way the military aide’s bicep twitched and her head spun around to stare wide-eyed at the human, drawing breath to cut the response off.
“But,” Specialist Cardoso continued, and the kespan stilled, n...

Being a successful writer is a dream of mine, one that I'm working hard to make a reality. If you're here, that hopefully means that you've enjoyed my work, and for that, I am already so grateful.
A little about me; I am an Australian university student currently st...

Ah, shit. Here comes trouble.
Three kespan soldiers were walking down the sidewalk approaching them. The two in front wore confident smirks and walked with an exaggerated strut that made their hips and tails sway from side to side, while the third ambled along behind, flustered a...

Several hours after arriving home, Tommy lay awake in bed with his eyes open, listening to the soft wingbeats of fruit bats and the rustling of leaves outside his window.
It felt like he’d been living the past year with a grey shroud over his head. Now, someone had lifted the corner, and a ne...

It didn’t take long for one of the aliens to walk over. Fully suited up with an opaque visored helmet that mirrored Ana’s own, they stood at a height that would have been tall for a human woman, somewhere between Bruiser and Raker’s heights. A single row of breasts and a strange triangular ...

The first time Ana donned the suit, it had come with a stern warning from the range commander.
“There’s a kill switch built into these prototype units,” she’d explained, looking Ana dead in the eye. “You’re here because you’ve been tested and passed intake, but frankly, you’...
