    Summary

    This is a rationalist and effective altruist take on the Last Herald-Mage trilogy, inspired by HPMOR, r!Animorphs: The Reckoning, and other works. From a starting point of "what if the characters were trying to be reasonable?" and "what if Leareth was a human being with real, complex motivations, rather than a cartoon villain?" I am seeing where it goes.

    Meta note: this fic is accessible regardless of whether you’ve read canon. It starts out a little slow, and book 1 is kind of a different genre from book 2 onward. Additional warning that book 2 onward gets pretty dark and this doesn't really let up. There will be 11 volumes.

    Major themes include the complexity of thinking about ethics, the challenge of taking on problems in the world that seem insurmountable, and trying to do good while dealing with serious mental health issues. The characters do not start out masters of rationality, but they do learn from their mistakes and grow as people, and do their best to help support each other.

    Summary

    I wanted to create an S4 Fix-It Fic, but as Kaylee said in Firefly, "Sometimes a thing gets too broke to fix." So I am replacing it all instead. Knowing me, it will be long to fix what the (semi-homophobic) CW producers/writers of Supergirl broke so gradually.

    Here, Supergirl will be the center of her own show. Here, her sister will be empowered to find love with actual chemistry. Here, people will be free to be as gay/fabulous as they need to be. And the characters who are supposed to be gay will actually be Queer As Fuck.

    Since I started writing this on Feb. 19, 2020, and 100 pages later, we were in Pandemic 2020 Lockdown, the season's big bad will be Covid-19. And since I started it as if it were a regular season, I began in a mythic June (after the events in my short fic “Metropolis Pride”) and the virus cut our heroes off at the end of fall semester instead of spring. So it won't be all that accurate, but who cares? It's a SuperCorp fanfic.

    So put on your black tacticals, pack your sparkly pink bowties (and other bits of interest) and let us get (eventually) to the church on time for a *SuperCorp wedding*.

    Posting Fridays.

    Summary

    Follows the story of 6 unlikely allies who find themselves thrown together by fate in the cruel and harsh Sixth-World of Shadowrun. These are the narrative adventures of my TTRP group, in our campaign. A new chapter is written most weeks. Because this gets published to my players, it's written from an in-game perspective, with imperfect knowledge - there's very few instances where you read something that wasn't directly observed by them, and as a result sometimes something weird and a little unexplained can happen.

    Most of the chapters are probably PG-12 - but it is a harsh world, and gun battles and brutal melee is definitely a thing. There's also some adult content and some scenes of attempted kidnapping and rape of some of the team, and there's a few instances of torture. It's all (hopefully) in context for the story, and I try to keep it implied or not too heavy on the detail - enough so you know what's going on, without being gratuitous.

    I also have a group on facebook where I sometimes talk about behind the scenes stuff. People are welcome to join and offer thoughts, criticism, suggestions or just see what is going on behind the story...

    Summary

    Not all shadowrunners are born in the dark, to their lives of crimes and deceptions. Some are regular people, SINners, the wage slave, the corporate zombie that puts in 50 hour work weeks, and the college grad student with dreams of being the youngest master in their chosen field.

    This is the story of a young woman as she beings her life in the light and learns about the world of the shadows she never really knew existed.
