New story day! This shiny new anthology just erupted into the world, featuring stories by many great authors--and me! Remember "For Lack of a Bed"? Well I have a sequel story here, "An Asexual Succubus," about Lili, our ace succubus having a bit of a midlife crisis at the monster pet store.

Does anyone want a story? Leave me a prompt of your choosing and get a piece of micro (or maybe flash) fiction! I'll put it up and link you when they're all available and you can enjoy some free, random, tiny stories.

Despite the horrors, I have bills and prescriptions, and I'm staring down the barrel of some dry months. If you're in need of an experienced fiction editor (line and developmental), or sensitivity reader/cultural consultant (Fil-Am, Filipino, trans FtM, and general queer guy experience), hit me up!

What these comemierdas are doing to USAID is illegal, counter-productive, & cruel. The sudden stoppage is having devastating effects on people, programs & civil society. We should all be fighting it & we should all be working for a system in which aid isn't so dependent on large single donors.
