"Party Crasher" is a short story about what happens when a college costume scheme goes sideways... and somehow, perfectly right.

October is here! 🎃

The monthly pinup features Nikki in a stunning evening gown! Although Half Sisters is still on hiatus, that doesn't mean we can't check in with everyone's favorite pouty princess. God knows how she ended up in that dress!

"dumb little side project" is Alysonspeak for a thematically interesting and very forcefemme-y novel that will probably spark several months of discussion.

the dumb little side project I’ve been writing for the last six or seven weeks, between dorley and wyffh, is just under 96k

This story is rich and hardcore… hardcore sci-fi, that is. Emory knows how to weave a tale with a lot of delicious details, the kind that make this a splendid space odyssey.

The singularity drive on David's ship has exploded, and his body destroyed. Luckily, his brain is still intact. It's been uploaded into the pleasure drone he purchased back on Epsilon Eridani.

The idea flashed into my head while reading the first chapter of one of @helenawells.bsky.social’s many #Dorley fics, to whom it has a deviously misleading dedication…

It’s like most of the things I write: probably desperately unpopular except to a very few people.

MY BOOKS ABOUT TRANS WOMEN

HOW TO FLY from WHEN YOU FELL FROM HEAVEN

Max moves with his family from New York to California to start again. And Taylor, newly crowned captain of the cheer squad, sees someone with potential.

mybook.to/HOWTOFLY
alysongreaves.itch.io/how-to-fly
books2read.com/u/47LXBN

Cover for HOW TO FLY: a woman reaching for the sky, neon-lit.

Max is a gymnast who can no longer pursue his passion. Taylor is a cheerleader with passion to spare.

A brutal attack put an end to Maxwell Giordano’s gymnastics career and ruined his junior year. So he and his family moved across the country for a fresh start, and now all he wants is to keep his head down and graduate in peace with the rest of the class of 2004.

Taylor Scott made cheer captain! And her greatest dream is to take the squad to regionals. Maybe even nationals! Except none of the other cheerleaders share her ambition, so she’s resigned herself to another year of cheering for the worst football team in the state.

And then a new boy moves in next door, and he’s everything she’s been dreaming of! If she can just convince him to join the squad, the two of them could take it all the way. But complications loom: Taylor’s jealous boyfriend, Max’s overprotective family, and then there’s the small matter of Max’s current gender…
