I was lost and totally confused. The year was 2016 and I voted for Hillary Clinton for President of the United States. Being a mere nineteen years old-battling severe depression, social anxiety and fighting my sexuality-I was looking for "Hope" and I was looking for "Progress". In this book, I start out by chronicling my personal political journey, moving from the bowels of the modern left to the opening arms of the modern right. Following this, I lead the reader on a hard-hitting analytical journey, addressing and deftly dismissing some of the modern left's most persuasive and most used tools of narrative. In the end, things are poignantly brought back to home, as I address the overall deficiencies of the liberal idea of "progress" and how this relates to the theme of finding personal meaning in one's own life. This is at once a heartfelt story of personal triumph and a profoundly rigorous and witty treatment of liberal rhetoric. Hold on to your hats.

I'll Be There For You ~ Lams College AU
Note: I don't know half of what I wrote here. It's cringy, it's old, and it's definitely NOT my best writing. But due to me going all like "oH iT's mY fIrsT fAnfIc! LeMme sAvE tHe mEmoRies", I chose not to take this down. This is not edited in most parts, so please, you have the right to turn around whenever you want to. --- Alexander Hamilton was taking a flight to America when a storm ahead had to make them land. As Alexander Hamilton boarded his plane from South Carolina to New York, he couldn't help but notice the beautiful eyes and freckles of a certain boy, John Laurens. They make a small talk before landing. Alex thought that chances are never that he would see him again. Boy, he was wrong. This would be your typical, (possibly stereotypical, my apologies) Lams fanfiction. :) ••• Fanfic status: Completed, Under Rewriting Started: March 27, 2020 Completed: October 17, 2020 Chapter count: 55 (including epilogue) Art: Drawn by author *cringe* Hotel: Trivago~ Quick Note: So, while editing, some chapters could get - how you say? - worse and cringier, as I think they are, than the one before.

About Town
A collection of short stories about LGBTIQA+ characters based around a construction site. These stories are often sweet sometimes heart wrenching and always heartfelt snapshots into different character lives. This is my first time writing romance. I'd love comments and thoughts. With my dyslexia there are a bunch of mistakes. I'll do my best to get them, but please be forgiving! Felix and Frankie is about a NB person supporting their supervisor to realise he's pan. Four truths is a polyamarous romance with 4 different characters coming together . Stride on by is a story of challenging toxic masculinity; men whistling at a woman as she stribes by. Everyone is not as they seem. Openings and closing is about 2 gay/lesbian baristas as they try to start relationships. One customer is a trans man; a celebration of awkwardness. Entirely you is a nonsexual flirtation between a man with hemophilia and a chinese mother and their impressions of each other. You're a valid parent is a jounrey of Xen's pregnancy and post nantal and their partner, Moria, a trans mum and the struggles both of them go throughComplete
Corset in Congress (A Hamilton Genderbend)
A Hamilton AU where everything is the same except Alexander is a woman and she marries Elijah Schuyler. For the most part it is told from Aaron Burr's perspective, but that might change for certain chapters. I made this simply out of curiosity, and because I watched too many animatics, plus I thought it would be interesting to see how the story would play out with a female protagonist. The character interactions, lyrics, and overall plot could be impacted in many ways, and I'd like to see how that goes. I'm basically converting lyrics into text, tweaking them based on the needs of the context. Feel free to comment on anything you like, any little mistakes that need fixing. Seriously, go wild.Complete
