Alex Crawford is an average guy, average life, beautiful fiancée, starting an average day but he's targeted and kidnapped for some sort of experimental warfare programme involving Dragons. Next thing that Alex knows he or rather, she wakes up essentially in a prison, initially struggles to come to terms with her new body, which also subsequently has a condition that if kept unsupported will result in her death.

An action/adventure type story, with a bit of saucy romance to come later on. This picks up from exactly where my other story, 'The Shard', left off, which is a short prelude to this one, introducing a few of the main characters and their back stories, you may want to read that first to get acquainted.

(Side note: I use song titles as chapter titles (With the artist in brackets at the footnote of the chapter). These are either meant to represent the mood of the chapter or usually the song at one point or another has got me through some tough times and means a lot to me.

After an accident involving a truck, Liz wakes up in a world she once thought existed only a video game, as the Evil Dragon Demon Queen no less. She has no idea what to do, where she is, or what's going on. She's not the brightest, or the bravest, the coolest or the most cunning. But she cares, deeply, truly and powerfully, and she's not stopping until she's done everything she can for everyone who needs it.... more>>

Demon Queen is a love letter to fantasy, and a damning indictment of how we don't question a lot of fantasy tropes.

It's also a story about accepting yourself, seeing your flaws for what they are and what they aren't, about vulnerability as a superpower.

It's a story about being trans, about what it means to not know who you are when all you've known is denial and fear.

It's also a story about queer love, about non-traditional relationships, and about expressing your affection to your loved ones without reservation. <<less

It is the Virtual 2040's, and Deedee Yeowoo is still trapped in the milleu of Another World Online, Mundus. Having escaped the tutorial island, the Shores of Awakening, with her guildmates in free company Dungeon-Crawling And Chill, they found that there's a growing refugee camp of player characters outside of the port hub city of Viacruz, in numbers that would dwarf a Roman Legion.... more>>

With only the goodwill they earned from fighting for the Mundanes against a group of Player Character slavers, they need to survive in what's becoming a rapidly more expensive city as sellswords, without upsetting the people or the politics of the city too much - or earning the displeasure of her mayor, the Contessa Desolar.

Meanwhile, things about the situation aren't adding up, and the locals are rather more able to pass a Turing test than they were before the disaster that stranded a server full of minds on Mundus. And the answers to the questions Deedee's party are seeking about how the Translation happened might be found in the same place that the Contessa desperately needs a small group of Adventurers to investigate...

A Demon Queen. A Hero. An inevitable clash. ... more>>

When both die and find themselves in a world that is alien to them - but familiar to us - they have nobody to rely on but themselves. And maybe each other in this spin on the familiar Isekai genre.

This is a spin-off of "I Didn't Ask To Be The Demon Queen", focusing on the hero, Daniel, and the previous Demon Queen, Eliza, following largely the same story beats but with some changes to the characters.

The work this is based on isn't required reading, as the characters will be set up on their own within this story.

It's also written in a slightly different style, as this will be, largely, a queer romantic comedy. <<less

It is the Virtual 2040's. Our protagonist wakes up face-down in the sands of the Shores of Awakening - a starter area of their favorite VRMMO, Another World Online: Mundane Phantasy Historia - as avatar Deedee Yeowoo, a foxgirl healer. Something's wrong - she can't log out, and as part of the lategame raiding guild, Dungeon-Crawling And Chill, shouldn't be at first level. Moreover, she's not alone - at least some of her friends in the guild, as well as the wide-eyed newbie streamer Ace Striker, are along for the ride. ... more>>

How can they survive such an adventure friendly - which is to say, violent and monster-filled - world? Why are they here? And why does this avatar feel more comfortable to Deedee Yeowoo's player than her real life body ever did?
