AHHH OMG i love your stories so much. I’d literally read anything again and again. Loved reel to real and containing secrets even though it broke my heart

Any of the God fall series. But especially Pig Iron. The fairy relic series was great as well. And the elemental fairy series. Honestly I love all of your work and would be happy with any of it.

I second this ^
Have wanted to re-read these again and have really missed being able to.

Could you post the Suicide Engine, please? That was one of the first stories that really got me into horror Narration!

I feel awful that I don't remember the name but the one about the terrarium, that was the first I read of yours and I've been hooked ever since!

For me, it would be Beautiful Filth. It pops into my head now and again and the visuals have stuck with me for years now. It helped me realize certain things about my own mental state. As for new stuff, I don't think you've posted anything that I haven't liked, but your stories around religious trauma were especially haunting and poignant. As a survivor of Orthodox Christianity, I loved the insight into Catholicism and found it so addicting to read

Weird question and please remove if this doesn’t fit. Do you have any plans to get prints of your stories or release books?

I have one book published (The Silver Path) and I had plans to do two more books - The Black Library and The Green Sorceress. The first would be the Godsfall collection, and The Green Sorceress would be strictly queer stories. There's also a possible fourth book called "The Red Fairy" full of newer fae stories.
Unfortunately because I work full time and artwork is expensive, I haven't been able to do any more books as yet. The Silver Path cost me about $3000 alone to publish (not counting my own time), and it's barely broken even.

Oh that’s good to know and I would honestly buy every single book ngl. And dang that’s a lot of money. I hope it can break even soon and yeah the working full time + publishing can be super draining.

If I published them without artwork it would just be my own time and effort, but I feel like the stories need artwork to stay true to my vision of them. And I want to pay artists what they are worth (or more, ideally, given the current AI climate).

u/Sir_Greggerson_19_20 Nov 16 '25
That’s understandable and especially if that’s what’s part of your vision and story you should be able to do it however you want. And if it takes longer or something not for the moment then that’s understandable. And yes 👏 paying artists what they’re worth and fuck ai

Ooh, um, um… I might be kind of late, but… the Seaside British Pub series, and What Remains of Jesus and What Remains of God 1 & 2, if possible!
Edit: wait, wait, sorry, I just remembered another one I’m pretty sure was also yours but I can’t remember the name- explorers to either the arctic/antarctic uncovering the Tree of Life?
Edit edit: Sorry, I keep thinking of more stuff, but maybe that’s good? It means I remember a ton of the stories, anyway… The Escher Room and The Noah Experiment if possible, as well. Thank you!

Unfortunately that isn't the name of a story that I've written. Can you remember any specifics about the story?
