Synopsis

Gnal has a cushy job cleaning up other people’s messes. Anytime an eldritch summoning goes wrong, she’s called in to seal the resulting rift between dimensions. While the life of a night rift manager isn’t anything glamorous, it’s predictable—and comes with perks, like novelty pens!

That is, until a goblin on Gnal’s cleaning crew smuggles home the most abominable creature imaginable: a human baby. For the first time in her life, Gnal scrambles to clean up a mess of her own making.

Wolf for Hire

★ 4.81

Quirky Corgi

Allison Jane Avery (AJ) is a recent accounting graduate juggling mundane jobs to afford rent, car payments, and massive student loans. Stuck in a cycle of financial instability, AJ’s life takes a turn when a wild night out leads to an even wilder morning—waking up naked in a park with a mysterious tramp stamp and the unsettling realization that she’s become a werewolf. Not the bloodthirsty Hollywood werewolf that hunts under the moon, but one content with stalking stray animals and digging through trash.

AJ’s more concerned about dealing with the fallout of turning into a mindless creature every month—from losing her favorite pajamas to repeated offenses of public indecency and trespassing. The judge warns she’s one misdemeanor shy of a felony, and her landlord is evicting her for violating her lease’s “No Pet” policy. Struggling to keep her job, her dignity, and a roof over her head, AJ’s life is spiraling out of control as she picks up ever-odder jobs. Anything will do if it saves her from having to work again as a part-time stripper or, worse, move back in with her parents.

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

I'll admit that the above synopsis is a little inadequate to describe a story that has, since its inception, evolved into an odyssey of misadventure involving an Average Jane trying to get her shit together before the full moon.

But I like keeping it around, if only for posterity—it was this very prompt that got me writing in the first place, after all.

Once Wolf for Hire nears completion (or, at least the first installment, if it continues to garner strong support), I intend to make numerous revisions and edits it in preparation for proper publication. And that includes the synopsis.

So, in the meantime, I invite you to leave comments during your reading experience. Your feedback is valuable to me.

Hope you enjoy.

Bioshifter

★ 4.5

Thundamoo

Hannah has a routine. Wake up, take a shower, go to school, go to work, come home, and pass out. It's a perfectly normal routine for a perfectly normal girl who does not have to remember how her limbs work every morning because of haunting nightmares of being a very different creature in a very different world. But that's all she thinks they are—nightmares—until one night they're all too lucid, and her body on Earth starts to change. Slowly, Hannah's humanity starts to slip away... but surely she can continue just sticking to routine, right? It'll be fine. It has to be.

A mix of urban fantasy and isekai, Bioshifter is a story in two worlds, with magic leaking in from one to the other. It's a story about love, self-acceptance, neurodivergency, and a whole lot of trauma. Strap in and enjoy!

Magical Girl Mechanical Heart

★ 4.8

Thundamoo

Luna has always wanted to be an Earth Guardian, but she knows it's far too late to have been chosen. It's a fool's dream anyway. The reality of battling monsters every few days to protect the human race is somewhat less 'Saturday morning cartoon' and somewhat more 'child soldier war story.' But that allure of magic always called to her... and one day, she's given an offer to have everything she's ever dreamed of.

She promptly says no, because the offer is from one of the most obviously evil women Luna has ever seen in her life. She's pining, not stupid. Get out of here with that blatant monkey's paw crap.

Unfortunately, it turns out obviously evil women don't take to being told 'no' all that well. The next thing Luna knows, she's waking up in a robotic body, unable to speak and bound to follow the whims of the monster she tried to reject. How can she find freedom when her every thought is bound in servitude? Will any of the Earth Guardians she's now being forced to fight realize she's in need of help, or are all of them far too busy with their own problems—including but very much not limited to saving the world?

And if she does get saved... is there any chance she could keep the robot body?

Not Your Usual Magical Girl

★ 4.63

RockyRoll

Susan Hill is your typical, science obsessed high schooler who finds herself kidnapped to another world and changed beyond recognition in a madman’s scheme for power. Breaking free, she returns home but is shocked to find her old world is significantly more magical than she remembered. How will a girl turned dragon live when faced with arrogant vampires, megalomaniacal mice, and a few too many magical girls?

A Friendly Voidling

★ 4.69

cathfach

When a Creature of the Void fails to find friendship among her own kind, she instead sets her sights upon another, human-filled world. Unfortunately, humans turn out to be rather small and squishy things, resulting in a mostly accidental trail of death, destruction and madness as she embarks on her journey to finally make some friends.

This is a 25k word inane short story, and makes no attempt at being serious or realistic. It's my first attempt at trying a more comedic writing style. No relation to my other stories, aside from a brief cameo.

Cover bodged together with Charat Genesis. Not quite the design I had in mind, but reasonably close. Doesn't contain explicit smut, but does contain references to stuff happening off-screen. May contain traces of gore. Also eels, in varying states of distress.

Contractual Obligations [or; Accidentally Seducing a Fallen Angel]

★ 4.76

Lear Ragnos

When a young and inexperienced Dark Mage summons a demon to work in his bakery, he's not looking for much. When that Demon gets frustrated with him adhering so strictly to the contract's terms it cannot claim his soul, she gets frustrated enough to... renegotiate. It's a shame their summoner has no idea what they're doing.

Originally written from November to December of 2021 on Fiction.live, and now edited and cleaned up for presentation elsewhere. The first three chapters will be published back-to-back as I'm satisfied with their edited state. Afterwards updates will come once every other day or so. Though the story will feature suggestive content, it will not contain anything explicitly sexual until its ending.

Now complete.

Valkyrie’s Shadow

★ 4.7

Aeridinae Lunaris

In the wake of the Battle of Katze Plains, the banner of Ainz Ooal Gown flies proudly over the city of E-Rantel. The Sorcerous Kingdom has entered the world’s stage to the clamour of death and devastation; the surrounding nations fearfully prepare even as they reel from its calamitous debut. Within the borders of the newly annexed realm, its Human subjects cower in their homes as the Undead openly walk the streets and stalk the lands. Yet, when a destitute noble finds herself under the auspices of an unlikely benefactor, events are set into motion that will resound over the world for ages to come.

A kingdom builder based on the events and setting of Kugane Maruyama’s Overlord. In a fantasy world where beings of matchless power are transmigrated from the arbitrary existence of a game, Valkyrie’s Shadow chronicles the lives of the natives whose reality has been turned upside down by their advent. It is the tale of a nation created by the whims of a supreme sovereign, and his unstoppable servants who each have their own, often twisted, interpretations of their Master’s Will.

There is no victory in strength; no miracles wrought from magic that will save them: only the inexorable advance of a new world order where those who secure a place of service within will find themselves turned against the world that they once knew.

[Slow buildup. Methodical storytelling with a focus on well-rounded kingdom building and character development.]
