A young woman discovers a new angle on customer service from her airline.I've had this up on here before, so here it is again. It's an early story of mine, and I know it has some pretty rough edges, but I'm not going to change them now.First written, April 2012. x…
A story about a colour (and colour in general), and hopefully about how colour can be sensual, can resonate, can have meaning in unusual and personal ways.Written in response to a @RaeKitano prompt, to write a story about a colour. The original story is Part One. Part Two is a continuation, which picks up in the space before the last paragraph of Pt1, if that makes sense.Written July 2013.…
Michaela has an unusual part-time job, but it helps her pay her way through university. Victoria is a public figure, with a secret and a problem that Michaela might be able to fix. Work brings them together, but can Michaela keep her focus?Written for the #BadassReads and #LGBT combined contest. Some parts of this were prompted by recent news stories, but the details of my situations and characters are all entirely fictional and not in any way supposed to resemble any real person or situation.Many thanks to the lovely @sovereinete for the cover!Be warned, this story contains improbable situations, some mild violence and a whiff of sex, and a fair bit of what I hope is badassery...and was great fun to write. ;) xxJanuary, 2016.…

A seasonal story for Christmas/New Year. (A month late, inevitably. You know me by now.) Published, Jan 25th 2017.…

A (very) loose re-telling of 'Hansel and Gretel' with a twist or two. This was intended for the @lgbtq 'Once Upon A Time' contest, but Real Life interfered and I missed the deadline.Warning: this is a bit dark and nasty.…
Leanan Sidhe: the Destructive Muse[Meabh: she who intoxicates, the cause of great joy]Leanan Sidhe (pron: 'lan-awn shee') is a fairy of incredible beauty, who preys on artists (especially musicians.) She inspires previously unattained heights of creativity in her victim, but the price for such intense and short-lived happiness and success is the life and soul of her mortal friend.…
Part of the challenge to write a Hallowe'en story in thirteen words.I was nominated by @Megabucks, and am supposed to pass it on. But I don't know thirteen people on here well enough to presume to nominate them...sorry...…
Two potential lovers meet...Was to be submitted as an entry to Wattpad's Romance competition 8 ("Meet Cute"), but I missed the deadline. Doh. :)The plan with this is to have each chapter be about catching a train, and tell the story that way. I clearly don't believe in making life easy for myself.Copyright, August 2012…

*Your character gets stuck in a toilet at a party.* This all started as a response to the above prompt, as issued by the lovely @RaeKitano. Before she got banned by Wattpad, she did great LGBT short story prompts. Part One was the original short story, of course. This is so definitely no longer a short story, and I feel like I'm really cheating by even including it any more. But Fi and Diana would not exist if it weren't for Rae and her challenge. It's got out of control because I wanted to find out what happened next. ;) Thanks to @Megabucks for the new, improved cover! Originally started, August 2013.…
So, what with this being a fanfic, any similarity to things is kind of the point. But it's made up as well, so it's not supposed to be anything actually actual.Also, I'm not a gamer and frankly don't care enough to take an interest, really. Someone else gave me the idea for this. (Thanks, @DocGeeps.) So, sorry to any purists out there, if it's not realistic as a set-up.Also, I should say now, I have no idea where this is going. Partly because it has had to stray into fantasy territory and I don't really do fantasy either. So basically, I'm closing my eyes and just going for it and hang the consequences.…
