Like a lot of industries, the publishing industry's purpose is to put more money in the pockets of those who already have to much... 😒

#introduction
Okay, lets' try to do this properly.
I'm Jess, an old Fedi hand setting up in a new neighborhood.
I write queer fiction, and when I'm healthy I talk about it a lot. Mostly SFF chosen family, some kink, lots of fucking-with-tropes.
On a personal, I'm nonbinary (ey/eir or they/them), Jewish, autistic, disabled, parent, polyamorous, radical.
I'll also post about threadcraft (tablet weaving), history, homeschooling, our cat Milo, and mental health.
Some hashtags you might see me use:

Okay, so I've decided how I'm going to balance my needs with my desire to hold this specific zine as a finished book in my hands, though I know it may take years. Behold, my passion project and general updates.

I've got some great news to share today: "(Not) A Hero Story," the comedic fantasy LitRPG I've been working on for the past couple of years, is now available to read for free online. Join Marty and the gang on their misadventures at https://notaherostory.com! 🥳
The first four chapters are available now, but I'll be releasing a new chapter every month until next September, so stay tuned to see what happens next. (Don't worry: every chapter is a self-contained story, so there aren't many cliffhangers.)
I'm glad to finally share this story with other people! I said I've been working on this project for the past couple of years, but, really, it has been in the works for over a decade at this point. It's a labor of love and I'm really proud of what it has become.
The art on the banner was done by the incredible @hpkomic and @Casino! They did amazing work 👏
Enjoy!
