Entry for SSSC V, using the third prompt. ... more>>

First time participating. I tried to write something 'bit different than usual.

The story's kinda nonsensical / surreal and weird, so I wasn't sure how to write the synopsis. The title and tag may give you a better idea.

It's also influenced by weeb elements, so yeah.

No screwed up things like my other works, but maybe you want to proceed with caution. <<less

Short stories I created out of random spurs of creativity.
Each chapter follows a completely different story and plot unless stated otherwise.

Now on Scribble-Hub!

‘The Girl he Used To Know’ began life when I came across a rather silly prompt on a web-novel site I was using;
"Theme: My 2D waifu is now my real life Valentine's!?"
Well with a title like that I couldn’t help but be interested by the idea of leaving my usual writing niche and trying something a bit more novel.

Tying it loosely back to my main series ‘UnderCurrent’, ‘GUK’ was born as a standalone romance novella which you are now holding, styled with Japanese tropes in mind from a more western perspective.
I hope you will find this to be an interesting and fun read - Designed with the intent of being a somewhat contemplative and ‘cosy’ story - Whatever the case I thank you for picking it up and giving it a once over.

Remember taking all those trips with your parents and every time you got going, someone inevitably asks the question "are we there yet"? Yeah, this is nothing like that. This short story has everything that nobody wants!... more>>

Gods? Greek, Norse, Eldritch, you bet!
Mythology? In moderate amounts.
Jokes? So many you'll start to wonder where the actual story is!
Things so obscure to the average person that you might need to grab an encyclopedia? What kind of story would this be without those!
Romance? No, we've got everything else though, including the kitchen sink.
Poop throwing? You bet we do!
A protagonist that uses their mind? Absolutely not! I mean, they aren't even a living being, technically, and they certainly aren't biological in origin.

While this story is tagged as a gender bender, the protagonist is non-binary/gender fluid. What this means is that the pronoun usage is irrelevant in terms of telling the actual story. The pronoun choices made are simply a reflection of the isolated main character's perception of self based on its own understanding of the world, just as the individual inside Plato's cave, would have no understanding of being male or female.
This short story was also inspired by the Chinese novel "Journey to the West" (also known by the titles "Monkey" and "The Monkey King") credited as being written by Wu Cheng'en. <<less
