The year is 2024. Alan Malloy is a sci-fi nerd attending uni somewhere in the vicinity of Essex. Moreover, he's a nerd who has serious toxicity issues. And worse still, he's been a menace to the nerdy girls of the Royal College of Saint Almsworth since he arrived. He is, by all accounts, a incel. He's on a downward spiral which is slowly killing his future. He's dropping classes, and his smarts are going to waste in a downwards spiral that will ultimately lead him nowhere. He has failed as a man. There is a answer though. Unfortunately for his current existence, that answer is the secret basement under Dorley Hall, where bad boys become good girls, whether they like it or not.

In Alan's case, Space isn't the Final Frontier. But that Frontier will still be made in a basement. Just not a Hollywood one.

Based on The Sisters of Dorley by Alysongreaves, "Dorley: The Next Generation" is a exploration, analysis, and deconstruction of nerd culture, gender identity, the nature of friendship and family, the psychology of toxic nerdom, and the author's own personality. Dark, psychological, and very gender-bendy, this story is my attempt to take the lessons I've learned from writing fanfiction for nearly a decade and use it to create a multilayered story that I hope will entertain.
