“So where did you want to go shopping?” Hunter asked.
“Eh, probably just Target,” Mel said. “A lot of the stores here aren’t remotely worth the price. I mean, I guess we could also check out Forever 21 or something.”
“Alright, sounds good.” Hunter said. “I think what I’m wearing now is from Target, actually..”
“You think?” Mel asked.
“Uh, yeah, my… my mom bought a lot of my current clothes.” Hunter felt kind of bad now. He was such a l...

Hunter nervously glanced around the spacious food court–or as the mall called it, the “dining terrace”–trying to spot Mel. Her short, punkish hair was relatively distinctive, and yet he still wasn’t seeing her.
Did I get the time wrong? Did she realize I’m lame and decide to bail? Am I–
His negative thoughts were interrupted by a buzz from his phone.

Made some revisions to the public version of page 1 after getting some feedback. For now page 2 is only available on this Patreon. I'll probably post the first chapter as one big chunk on some other websites once it's done

“I’m sorry about Mark,” Brian said.
Lucas shrugged. “Eh, no biggie. We both know what he’s like. Honestly, the whole wand being introduced went better than I expected. I really expected more rod jokes. Didn’t get a chance to fully dig into roleplaying female Willow.”
“Related to that, actually… I was wondering how exactly you were planning to change, uh, her. I’m not really sure that the character needs to change much. Nothing in her backstory or personality is...

“Alright, chat! Today we’re gonna be looking at the photos I took for a previous sub goal. You all voted on what character I’d cosplay, and you’re gonna see the results in a moment.”
Hunter’s hand hovered over the mouse for a moment. What if he’d misremembered how good the photos looked? What if his viewers just thought he looked funny or gross?
But he’d made a promise. He clicked the button to share his screen in OBS.
As soon as the first photo from the shoo...

“That’s weird,” Scott said. “I thought all harpies were female.”
“Does it actually say that in the stats?” Mark asked. “I think they’re usually female in Greek mythology but not necessarily in this fantasy world.”
“I was actually about to get to something relevant to that, if you’ll let me continue,” Brian said. “Okay? Okay. So, the foul bird-winged humanoid crumples to the ground, its hollow bones surely shattering. Tucked into the folds of its stained...

“Thank you again for letting me stay over!” Hunter said. “And I’m really sorry if I got weird at all last night.”
“Nah, you were fine,” Lilah said. “I’m sure Jess would say the same, if she wasn’t already at work. If you’re ever in the area you should visit again!”
“Um, yeah!” Hunter said. “Definitely.”
As they walked to their cars, Mel said, “We should definitely hang out again!”
“For sure!” Hunter said. “I, uh, had a lot of f...

Lucas felt like he couldn’t really ask Brian if he could introduce the magic item until it had been properly thought through. At this point he’d spent a while thinking about the answer to his own question: how, if at all, should the rod affect the target creature’s mental state? If he, say, wanted to change his current character into a girl–an idea he had idly considered proposing, after running a one-shot reminded him how fun he found playing a female character–he would prefer thin...

“I’m out of my mind right now,” Hunter said as he stared up at the ceiling and periodically spasmed. “I really shouldn’t have eaten a whole one, huh?”
“Yeahh. Well, I hope you’re having an okay time at least. Let me know if I can get you anything, okay?” Mel said.
“Could you get me some water?” Hunter asked, closing his eyes. “Oh, and maybe some crackers. Or chips or something.”
“Sure thing!” Mel said.

Lucas dumped his backpack next to his desk and logged on to his PC. His mom would probably be mad that he was browsing the internet before finishing his homework, but she was gone–at her friend’s bachelorette party for her second marriage–and all of the homework was so boring. Like, why couldn’t he just take a test showing that he knew how to find a derivative or identify an adverb? These worksheets were mindnumbing.
After looking at Newgrounds but not finding anything ...

Mel’s friend lived in a small apartment building behind a gas station. The black metal fence that separated the building’s courtyard from the alley had acted as a net, catching pieces of litter blown by the wind. Hunter watched as Mel punched a number into the keypad on the gate.
“Wait, was that just zero zero zero zero?”
Mel laughed. “Yeah, apparently the manufacturer puts that in as a safety feature for, like, evacuation during fires. But it’s way easier to remember ...

Evan and his friends kept making increasingly unreasonable bets. Nothing dangerous, exactly, just nearly impossible feats of social engineering. Last month his friend Dan had convinced over a thousand people to show up to a non-existent music festival, winning the adoration of their friend group (and five hundred dollars). Now it was Dan’s turn to bet Evan, and he had no idea what to expect.
“Evan,” Dan intoned, “I bet you can’t… get accepted to join a sorority.”<...

This is not at all autobiographical lol, more just a shitpost.
Sean--for no reason in particular--read a lot of these online stories where a guy got magically turned into a girl, or had to crossdress because of implausible circumstances, or just chose to transition. He just got a warm fuzzy feeling from reading some of those, and a boner from others. It was just generally wholesome and sexy if someone discovered a way to be happier and more fulfilled as a woman, right? Anyone w...

She sat in the garden and listlessly listened to the bowing of the xilqate among the tall blue reeds. The planet’s star hung low in the sky like a plump unripe fruit, blazing with green and ultraviolet. The waves of the saltless sea lapped gently at the beams of the low wooden pier, tickling a high-pitched chatter from the waterchimes that hung in bunches between the pillars.
The yawning pain of her missing organ ached dully with the same kind of gentle oscillation. She scowl...

She tried not to watch the girl from across the room. It was hard not to notice her short green and blue hair from across the room. She had always liked short hair on women.
She tried to push down her impulses. She was like 99% that Jess was into girls but not at all sure that she counted as one to Jess. Besides, she still wasn’t sure what her own sexual orientation was. Maybe she was just mistaking aesthetic appreciation or wanting to be friends with someone.
Things were all mi...

Alex had been volunteering with her work’s Talks team--basically a group of employees who organized TED-knockoff talks with authors, celebrities, YouTubers, etc--but this was the first time she actually had a specific person to pitch.
After taking attendance and going through updates on talks in progress, the team lead Jenny asked “Anyone have a new talk to pitch?”
Alex gingerly raised her hand.

When I first woke up I was really scared of the blurs. They screamed through the darkness, and shone their many eyes. But eventually I realized: you know what? It’s fine! They’re fixed to their paths, bound to forever retrace their steps. Honestly, I could relate. Just stay out of your way and they’ll stay out of yours. Too bad Limper had to find out the hard way.
Eventually I found the great bright place, full of noise and roaming pillars but also incredible food. They screamed, ...
