Longform Projects on Ice

These are projects I'm letting sit in a drawer for a while so my thonks can improve! All opinions are welcome but I'm trying not to look back myself, so that my own thoughts are harsher later. Feel free to poke around!

Off the Rails

Claire's scraping by, cleaning stray magic off of the rails at night and dodging her mother by day. She barely has enough money to pay for bus fare, let alone the rest of her life- so when her flatmate goes missing, leaving her with the rest of the rent to pay, there's only one option. She has to find Kanzal before the end of the month. If she has a tiny, minor, very irrelevant crush on Kanzal... that has nothing to do with it.

This is lesbian pre-slash. With trains and faeries in. Faeaeaeries?

Paladins of the Pickle Goddess

Elysia isn't doing well, but she's perfectly fine with that. She's rotting away at the edge of the country, far, far away from the capital, her past, and, most fearsome of all, her mother. Unfortunately, the Goddess Andrena (patron of the Spring, Fertility, and Fermentation) has a different plan in mind. Elysia can accept her quest, or die of botulism. What a rip-off! She doesn't even get cool powers with the deal!

The first book in the pickle series. Crunch!

Sabatoge of the Squid Goddess

The Pickle Paladins are back, and trouble is fermenting! A batch of pilgrims to the Northern Temple has disappeared without a trace- including Duran’s useless father, who left them countless unpaid taxes as an inheritance. Elysia might not like the man, but she can’t ignore the problem. It’s time to pull her sword out of storage. There will be squid. There will be oatcakes. There might even be some heroism- if only by accident.

Book 2 in the pickle series. 200% more squid. Crunch Crunch!
