GenX animal-lover with strong leftist tendencies. I'm a pansexual, poly, non-binary woman who is also autistic and deals with disabling anxiety/depression. I adore fantasy stories with transformation and shapeshifting, friendship and loyalty, and ordinary people doing their best in extraordinary situations. Expect a lot of characters figuring out who they are, what they need, what really matters to them, and where they belong. I dislike grimdark, gore and horror, unexamined cliches, unsatisfying or sad endings, and abuse/lust/infatuation pretending to be love. I've been obsessively writing for most of the past 30+ years. Unless otherwise stated, everything is completed and edited before I start posting any of it.
Just gonna drop this here for anyone interested. I haven't got anything right now, but you might. https://itch.io/jam/trans-joy-jam-2025
Games, stories, anything trans-positive you can put on itch and finish by Feb 23. Already-finished works not allowed. Details there (obviously).
I think I'm all caught up on comments on Quincunx, and thank you for those and for the patience! I'll work on the others later today.
I can finally concentrate on writing again, too! THAT is a huge relief! Not writing is worse for my mental health than pain is!
Sorry for being behind on comment replies. I love getting them, but I'm dealing with a rather painful injury and my concentration's, er... let's call it erratic. I'll catch up as soon as I can. Please don't think I don't appreciate them or you!
Oh no! Take care of yourself!
Ouch. Take care of yourself and we'll wait.
The collected epub of Quincunx Vol 2 is now up at prysmcat.itch.io and I'm offering free copies of it and Vol 1 for a few days over the holidays - as a distraction, if you're like me and don't do holidays, or an appreciation gift if you do. 
Thank you! May your distractions be good this season!
I'm working on turning my books into epubs to put on itch.io (PWYW for shorts/novellas, a little more for novels but with community copies.) I have Haunted, Black Wolf, the Rose Bridge, and the shorts done and up, and I'm starting Shaman. Any requests for what to do next? Lamia, Renegade, Moonblood (3 volumes), Yin-Yang, Transposition vol 1?
Unfortunately I have not *yet* read the five you ask of, but just going by name I’d say Transposition. Do you have a place where you could put up a poll?
@Kaiyalai Nowhere comes to mind, although thanks to my roommate I seem to be collecting social media accounts. I just finished Shaman and started Renegade because it's the easiest, I have clean html from an earlier project, but Transposition next (and that doesn't mean any expectations for you - everything's around if/when it appeals to you).
…Ah, your Patreon is probably a good spot for that! Especially if you make it available for your free patrons to vote as well as paid patrons. Or just paid if you prefer, totally valid option.
@Kaialai I'll get to them all, I hope before the next project takes over my brain. :-) Mostly I wanted to give the people here, who already have some idea what I write and have presumably already read something, a chance to make a request. It's all good.
I've started adding epub versions of my work on itch.io for anyone who prefers reading that way. https://prysmcat.itch.io/ They're still on Patreon too!
Incoming epic! I'm starting "Quincunx" here tonight, so there's time for it to be approved before what will be the usual daily release time (5 am Eastern M-F). Got the usual jitters but really looking forward to sharing this one!
I am finally, FINALLY, done the first draft of "Quincunx," my weird version of an isekai story! Okay, I still need to do the editing and all, and that's going to take some time because this is a monster epic that's going to take about half a year at 5 posts a week (srsly!) but the first draft is done and I am so happy!
I needed a break from my big projects so I pulled up a slice-of-life urban fantasy that I play with - creating the animal and sentient species is fun. Y'know what? I think I'll share it even if it's not "serious". The beginning will be up today, I'll do daily starting Monday. Please read the TW/CWs!
Still here and writing, I promise! Some household health issues cropped up, eating my writing time badly and making it harder to stay focused. My roommate wants me to finish Possession and/or Quincunx so she can see what happens, so we're trying to work around it. Both are monster epics; whichever one is first, the other one will be on its heels, so this is the last hiatus I expect! (I'm just not repeating my mistake with Transposition, starting to release anything that isn't 100% finished!)
I'm too pleased with the characters from "Possession" to not share them when I see a way to do that. Expect some teaser-type content coming here around the second full week of March - or earlier for Patrons, which is, srsly, $1 until I find better rewards. I needed a better idea what most of my core characters were doing just before the story starts, so why not share it? More info at https://www.patreon.com/posts/possession-posts-99071151
Wow, I've been quiet for a while. That happens when I get deep in a story. I just posted an update, which won't fit here, at https://www.patreon.com/posts/status-update-im-97790269 - public, no account needed. It's just a quick look at the two stories my brain is tossing me back and forth between, and an apology for being slow. (I'm quite sure I've written well over 100K words since I last said anything, though, so... I am getting there!) Thanks for being patient!
Well, the isekai story I expected to be quick and light is definitely not going to wrap up in under 100K words. Oops. The world turned out to be worth exploring more and the characters say they need more room to develop, so I guess my plan to move fairly quickly through the key locations failed. The hiatus will be little longer than anticipated, but the end result will be a queer trans poly isekai story with a paramedic MC, a couple of unpleasant antagonists, and more depth than I anticipated.
Sounds exciting!
@Capybellie Possibly exciting, possibly just rather strange, but probably not boring or predictable, at least!
Social media experiments continue, but I think I finally found the right place. (I hope.) I managed to stumble into the Fediverse, in fact. If you're there, and interested in ramblings about writing, cat pictures, and occasionally even other things, I'm @prysmcat@universeodon.com
I really hope I can convince my wandering and often-uncooperative brain to go along with letting me actually finish this story this time around without getting distracted. I think you guys are going to have fun with my very weird queer version of an isekai harem story. I know I'm having fun writing it! Okay, back to work...
