This is a collection of things I make: original fiction, mostly of the short or unfinished form; traditional drawings and some miscellaneous digital things; and music composed through a digital audio workstation. Most of the fiction is science fiction or fantasy of some form or another: pseudomedieval, futuristic, contemporary, or something a little weirder. Poke around in the Archive and see what sorts of things there are. Any images on the site are things I made messing around in Paint.NET or drew. The music was composed with LMMS. The fonts in use are Libre Baskerville and Fondamento, which are pretty neat.
This is the main directory of the site, which is presented with aesthetic in mind more than accessibility. The fonts are serif, it has light text on a black background, and some stories use colored text. If any of that sounds inaccessible, unwieldy, or just not preferable, the /a/ directory has all the same content without those features. You can swap between them from any page by adding or removing the /a/ in the url. (Right after the .com, going ahead of any other subfolders.) If there are more accommodations I could make, or a separate suite of accomodations that would be preferable, please do let me know. It wouldn't be terribly hard to make another directory or keep it updated.
If you want to contact me, the ways to do so can be found here.

I doubt this will really come up, but if anyone wants to write fanfiction, create fanart, roleplay my characters, or borrow concepts or descriptions for characters or settings or stories of your own, you're more than welcome. I think you could do all those things even if I didn't give permission, but this is me explicitly giving it in case anyone wants it.
Similarly, if you're interested in using any of the art on this website, the answer is probably yes. If any of this is helpful to someone, I'd be flattered. Attribution in whatever form is most convenient is appreciated, but not absolutely necessary; just don't misrepresent who created what. Telling me you've done something is also appreciated, though not necessary. If you want to use some of it to decorate a site or project, the answer is yes. If you want to make an avatar/icon/profile picture/forum gingerbread, the answer is yes. If you want to alter or edit any of it to make a derivative piece of art, the answer is yes, and you can do whatever you want with the result, it's yours. If you want to include a piece of pixel art or a picture as an element or background of a larger piece of original art, the answer is yes, and again you can do whatever you want with that. If you want to take one of the few character images and use it as a reference or inspiration for a character of your own, the answer is yes. By contrast, something that's a definite no is selling any of these digital files as unaltered digital files, individually or as part of a collection; they're here for free, don't rip people off, yadda yadda. This paragraph probably isn't necessary, but I'd rather waste a little of everyone's time than a lot of some potential person's time. Questions or letting me know you've done something with something here can go to the means of contact in the paragraph above this one.
Lasty, I'm permissive with use of the songs. But, because they're uploaded to YouTube and Bandcamp, I had to release them with a formal license, under the Creative Commons. Specifically, on BandCamp, they're released under the Attribution 3.0 license. Which is to say, attribution is necessary, you have to link the license, and indicate if the material has been altered. There are no limitations other than that. (I think YouTube uses a more restrictive Creative Commons license, but that's trumped by the more open license for essentially the same material.) Go wild.
Or, if you clicked this link to get a more detailed About for Preternatural specifically:
Preternatural is a story about people with superpowers. It's focused on exploring the lives the characters lead, the world they inhabit, and the way their stories fit together. It will be composed of several semi-separate narrative “threads”, each with its own point of view character.
Despite the flagrantly fantastic premise, the story is intended to be fairly grounded and realistic, in terms of people's actions and their consequences. The tone and genre likely will vary over the course of the story and between threads, but that core should remain.
Every city and town named in the story is intended to be completely fictional, while states and countries aren't. There will probably be some accidental overlap with actual place names because of that, but it's purely coincidental. For instance, Polk isn't modeled after any real Polk, though those definitely do exist. In general, the world of the story didn't quite match our own, even before the fantastic elements started cropping up.
This is my first major writing project, which I've finally started to work on after a lot of planning and iterating endlessly on ideas. Updates are pretty likely to come slowly, but I think I really have a story worth telling and am going to do my best to completely tell it. It won't be a masterpiece, but it should be fun.
Preternatural uses colored text for dialogue, spoken and typed, mostly in lieu of said statements. This makes it easier to tell who is saying what at a glance, and simulates voice with a visual cue. Text is written the way the character in the story wrote it, blatant flaws and all, because I find that more engaging.
