(cohost besties)
I see that there are a lot of new folks on this site, which is lovely! I know that some folks are being snarky about it, but I would rather boost some of my writing because it is both important to me and also currently my sole source of income. Not to worry, though, if you are unable to support; it is also all available online for free! Much of it is even posted here under the skunkcetera.writing tag.
See below the break for some stuff you can check out~

Post-Self
I am a member of the @Post-Self community and spend a lot of time writing about emotions and society in a post-uploaded-consciousness world. I currently have four books and several short stories out in the setting, plus another two books and few short stories on the way, though they are currently up for pre-order!
- Books:
- Qoheleth [What if memory was terrible?] and Gallery Exhibition [What if foxes were terrible?]
- Toledot [What if someone(s) had their finger on the dial of history?]
- Nevi'im [What if aliens?]
- Mitzvot [What if surviving an assassination makes you plural?] and Selected Letters [What if transmission delays?]
- Clade — A Post-Self Anthology (ed.)
- Marsh and Stories From the Century (pre-order) [What if the apocalypse did not feel like anything?]
- Motes Played (pre-order) [What if skunks were little, actually?]
- Stories:
- "Après un rêve" [What if uploading was A Lot™?]
- "Assignment" [What if cults were weird?]
- "Meeting of One" [What if Quakers uploaded?]
- "Opportunity Paralysis" [What if being trans was totally rad, actually?]
- "Prophecies" [What if some fake prophecies were real?]
- "Reading" [What if a skunk read a book?]
- "Shared moment" (NSFW) [What if you could share touch?]

Sawtooth
I have also written several stories set in the town of Sawtooth, Idaho. These have all been published in two short story collections:
-
ally
ally is a memoir project from 2019–2020 which talks about mental health and identity. It is an ergodic, hypertextual project, which plays out online in a set of branching paths and in the book with parallel storytelling (literally two parallel stories beside each other on the page).
-
Florilegium
Florilegium is my MFA thesis, which takes the form of three essays surrounding the idea of feeling like one takes up too much space (but also grief, poetry, the Book of Job, transitioning, failing friendships, and plurality). Each is intertwined with literary analysis of works by everyone from unknown poets to The Hebrew Bible. This is still in-progress, but may wind up published soon!
There are some others out there, but those are the big ones that I am most proud of. Anyway! I hope you enjoy~
