About This Place.
A site built by hand for fiction that resists easy categorization.
Who I Am
I write fiction. Mostly weird fiction. Stories that are funny sometimes, tense sometimes, and occasionally both at the same time in a way that probably shouldn't work but does. I've been making up stories for as long as I can remember and at some point decided I should start actually writing them down.
I'm studying Graphic Communications and marketing, which doesn't have as much to do with writing as you'd think, but it's made me think a lot about how things are presented and why that matters.
The Library
This is where the finished fiction lives, free to read, organized by story.
Television Man Chronicles follows a mysterious figure known only as Mr. TV, who is quietly turning the residents of Virginia into TV Men as part of a plan to, in his words, revolutionize the world. It's part absurdist comedy, part cult-leader origin story, with a detective named Eleanor Parks trying to catch up with him before things get completely out of hand.
What Does it Mean is harder to describe without spoiling it. It starts in an abandoned warehouse with a five-letter cipher and escalates quickly. It's got action, dark humor, and a cast of characters who are all dealing with things going very wrong in very different ways.
The Wiki
The wiki is a companion to the fiction. Character profiles, world lore, background material that doesn't fit inside the stories themselves. It's set up to browse like a real wiki, so you can follow threads and end up somewhere you didn't expect. I keep it updated as the writing grows.
You don't need it to follow the stories, but if you finish something and want more, it's there.
The Blog
Process notes, updates, new stories when they go live. Sometimes more personal writing about what it's actually like to work on something over a long period of time. Ideas here are allowed to be half-finished.
Tools & Process
The technical side is as intentional as the creative side. Here's what I use:
- Writing: Scrivener for long-form work, plain text for drafting and thinking.
- Editing: Google Docs for notes and research, VS Code for the site itself.
- Fonts: Cormorant Garamond for display and headings, DM Sans for body text.
- Hosting: Static hosting on GoDaddy — simple, fast, and under my control.
