    I got my start in writing with collaborative fanfiction. Eventually, I started doing original stories. I have lucid dreams, and I got in the habit of telling myself stories before I fell asleep so I could try to direct the dreams. Most of my ideas come from those stories and dreams.

    Nothing I write is ever set in stone. I'm constantly editing and polishing. If something seems bare-bones and not up to par, don't worry, I'm working on it. I usually like to hammer out most of a story before I go back and dress it up with more details.

    Disclaimer:
    I am a Christian, and, although I don't shy away from mature themes, I don't read LGBTQIAP+ or explicit sexual content (with rare exceptions). My knowledge of spelling, grammar, and punctuation all comes from my background growing up in the USA and using US English.

    Technicalities:
    I write in Google Docs using the free version of ProWritingAid as an editing tool, which I recommend highly. It has multiple English usages, too, so you can select the one that fits your country.

This is a series of short stories I wrote for The Fabulous Spec-Fic Smack Down on Wattpad, which required me to write flash fiction, short stories, drabbles, and poetry inspired by prompts that qualified as Speculative Fiction. Speculative Fiction is a genre that’s basically a mash-up of whatever you want it to be, commonly Sci Fi, Fantasy, Horror, but by definition, anything goes. Alternate timelines and universes are pretty common in Spec Fic, too. Flash fiction is a story shorter than typical Short Stories, and drabbles are exactly 100 words in length.

This was a writing experiment for me, because:
- I had never written Speculative Fiction.
- Or flash fiction.
- Or drabbles.
​​​​​​​- Or from an image prompt.

Somehow, I survived the eliminations until round four, part one. I decided to keep following the contest on my own, so as long as it's running, I'll keep adding chapters within the deadline based on the prompts provided. But I won't stop when the contest ends. This has been such a fun project, so I've decided to pull prompts from various sources and keep it going as long as I can.

Note: Word count varies with the application used. All the word counts here come from Google Docs
