can I tell you a story?
Once upon a time, the internet was different.
Before the platforms ate everything, people built their own strange little corners of the internet. They learned HTML just to share their interests with strangers. They made art and wrote stories and had weird collections of GIFs. I miss making things for the sake of making them, not for a content calendar or engagement metrics.
I'm not interested in twisting my work to beg the algorithm for a boost or to fit into a publisher's safe marketing strategies. I write what I want to write, because I love to experiment with form and structure and dropping the reader directly into a character's point of view. I love characters who live in the margins, who aren't usually the focus of stories.
Once upon a time, I learned to code to build fan websites and I sharpened my writing skills having strangers on LiveJournal and A03 comment on my work. This website is a kind of love letter to that older internet, a place to share what I create on my own terms for anyone who's interested in reading it.
