"It's like... everywhere you go has a little impact on you. I want to have a little impact everywhere I go too." She brushed a few strands of hair from her forehead and straightened up. A green ribbon fluttered where she'd tied it to the bus stop bench. She smiled at it softly, then she... Continue Reading →
Embrace the Sun
Last week was difficult for me. For a while, I would try to start working on something, then feel suddenly sick and stop. I had all of these feeling inhibiting me and nowhere to put them. Until I started writing. (Go figure.) This short fiction is pretty obviously highly allegorical (and also half inspired by... Continue Reading →
I’m (Finally) Having Surgery
**This post was crafted from two posts initially published on my Ko-Fi. Early 2018: I was handed three papers, two new prescriptions, two lab orders, and an appointment reminder for my next procedure, then I was ushered out of the room. I blinked. Was I breathing? Was I crying? Had I even had the chance to... Continue Reading →
FateFM Mini-Media Kit!
Have a mini-FateFM media kit! I haven't had time to put together the full kit yet (though I will), but I have thrown together this social-media option for use on Twitter, Facebook, and the like in the meantime. I fully expect that the full version will be multiple pages, so I figure a mini version... Continue Reading →
“Table of Understanding” – an EDEN story
"We probably shouldn't mention we went to a lower level." Artie Chen ticks the extensive list of things not to mention to his parents on his fingers as he and Jay Dee ride the lift up to the higher levels of the OTC. "Or that we've been investigating things. Or that we know anyone involved... Continue Reading →
A Woman, a Gamer, and Proud
If the month of June has reminded me of anything, it's that I'm seen and I'm heard. The first week we started our D&D actual-play podcast, I got my hair cut for our Fate and the Fablemaidens photoshoot (which was done by the amazing Carsen Heater and is featured above). Becca sat with me while the... Continue Reading →
“Dancing Lights” – an actual-play short story
Two weeks after seeing Infinity War and I'm still not over it. Don't worry if you haven't seen it; there won't be any spoilers in this post. In fact the only reason I really bring it up is because my campaign D&D character for the past ten months has been Gameia, a tiefling assassin and... Continue Reading →
What’s new with me? D&D.
Hi! Hello! Hail and well met! And happy International Tabletop Day! A lot has changed since I last posted to this dusty, neglected old blog. (I don't recommend scrolling too far back; who knows what cobwebs there are from my college years?) There are a couple of big ones that I could mention – moving... Continue Reading →
“Stand and Fall” Poem
It's the strangest thing to feel your heart stop beating Even just a pause For just a moment Before you tilt forward with your toes gripping the edge But you're already falling Or you've been falling And the passage of time is sluggish and disorienting You don't know when You don't know why And there's...

“Scream” Poem
The fabric of the world Strains and stretches, Torn apart at the seams. The threads snap... snap... snap, Leaving rents across the sky. And the world screams. Snap. Scream. Snap. Scream. Fire curls around each tear, Carving out the jagged scars, Blazing light through darkness. Flaming bolts strike... strike... strike. The burning and ripping hurts,... Continue Reading →
