I'm going to keep the intro brief: With SNAP funding cut off due to the government shutdown, foodbanks in the US are facing a crisis. I've done what little I can to help through my job, but it's not much, and I want to do more.
I write short original fiction. People seem to like my fiction. I can trade fiction for donations.
If you decide to participate, here's how it's going to work:
- Make a donation of at least $20 to a US-based foodbank. If you need help finding a local foodbank, you can search Feeding America's database.
- Use this form to send me a copy of the donation receipt, a link to the donation page, and a story request.
- I will match your donation, up to a cumulative total of $1,000.
- I will write you a 500-2,000 word short story.
Before participating, here are a few things to keep in mind:
- I mostly write contemporary sapphic fiction. I'm not restricting requests to that, but keep in mind that that's where I'm generally most comfortable working. I've linked a few of my pieces at the end of this page if you'd like to get a feel for my voice.
- I'll do my best to fulfill requests promptly, but I can't promise any specific timeline.
- You can include as much or as little detail in your requests as you'd like, but be aware that more detail will usually make the writing process easier for me. In addition to the basic premise, it's helpful to include things like tropes, character/relationship dynamics, tone/mood, etc.
- I reserve the right to refuse any request for any reason. For that reason, I recommend including 2-3 requests just to be safe. If I don't feel capable of fulfilling any of your requests, I'll reach out to you for an alternative.
- I am comfortable writing sexually explicit fiction, but only if it's sapphic, and only if it doesn't include rape/non-con, incest, adult/child relationships, etc.
If you have any questions, I can answer them on Bluesky or Tumblr.
My original fiction is hosted on AO3. You can see the full collection here. A few of the stories I'm most proud of:
