A note on trigger warnings: I try to be good about listing specific warnings for individual shorts, but please be aware that in general, while my short stories often end on a hopeful or triumphant note, they also tend to have a lot of dark elements. Many of them deal with death at the very least. Some also involve attempted or implied SA, PA and/or EA. If there’s a story you’re not sure about, protect your peace!

Another note, this time about AI art: The blog posts between Aug 21-Jan 2 and a few other posts have AI-generated cover images. At the time I generated them, I figured it wasn’t a big deal because I’m not trying to make money off the stories I post here. However, after gaining more exposure to the discourse around AI “creation”, I can’t continue in good conscience to use it on things I’m putting out into the world in the hope of growing an audience of my own. Posts after 1/2 will no longer feature AI-generated art.
