LF Friends, Will Travel
Terrans are not the strongest species in the universe. They are not the fastest species. They are most definitely not the smartest. But Terrans are the loneliest, willing to befriend anything that moves and several things that don't. After humanity nearly made themselves extinct with a "Terran brand oopsie"™, trillions of Terrans awaken from stasis and set themselves upon a Galaxy teeming with alien life, each writing their own story among the stars. Stories of compassion, of anger, of revenge, of justice. Stories of the clever and stories of the downright stupid. But mostly the story of Terrans looking for the one thing that all beings desire: Friendship amongst a lonely universe.
10 Year Reunion
In a lot of ways, this story is a romantic love story about platonic love and relational reconciliation. This is an LGBTQ center-ed love story about a woman named Audrey's conflicted thoughts and feelings towards her high school best friend Anika who she had fallen in love a decade ago. As a result of her immaturity at the time, the two's friendship fell apart and left both women deeply traumatized. Now, 10 years later with a picture perfect life and an amazing pre-fiancée: Dunni, Audrey still finds herself longing not for the relationship that she once had with her high school best friend, but a new relationship all together. The only problem is that she has no idea how to go about it without hurting everyone she loves and losing everything that she has gained.Complete
Growing Pains
In the day-to-day trenches of high school, it is almost the default-setting to believe we are the main character of our own coming-of-age story. This is not wrong. It's just ours isn't the only story there is. The jocks, the nerds, the cheerleaders, the losers, the stoners, the fangirls, the skaters. Everyone's the realest most important person in existence, all of them, at the same time, first-person narrators to their own stories, stumbling into each other's plot lines, defying the status-quo, catalysts to ups and downs. A deconstruction of all the high school tropes and cliches written over the years, a deep-dive into the psyche of students trying to finish high school while going through irrevocable self-discovery, the most improbable of connections, and the insufferable pains of growing up.Complete
