I'm the lead editor for a small independent press, but I am on maternity leave for the next several years and thus not accepting submissions. I'll tell you my professional opinion on first chapters or short pieces and whether I would have accepted it or rejected it if I was looking for work. I've dealt most with controversial speculative fiction, and I'm most interested in polyamory a.k.a consensual non-monogamy.

Welcome! I stumbled upon your work through the “read a newbie” feature.

I often have similar thoughts. It disturbs me that most humans can go through life putting little thought into spiritual matters or blindly following the herd. I was raised Catholic, and I was saddened to hear that most of my cohort had been bribed or threatened by their parents to complete confirmation. In university, I gave Campus Crusade for Christ a try. The weekly Bible study was a major disappointment. Thankfully, I was invited to tea with the religious studies department. While I was not motivated to change my major, I found that to be a very enriching experience.

Happy writing, and I hope you enjoy it here!

Review of December 2024  Open in new Window.
Review by K5Rakitan Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (5.0)
Welcome! I stumbled upon your work through the “read a newbie” feature.

This reminds me a bit of my ex-boyfriend, though he never truly understood me in the first place. He provided warmth for a season, but he was never healing me. I was always the one doing the work to heal myself. He didn't understand because the way we were brought up was night and day. My parents showed me unconditional love, and because of that, I had no difficulty loving myself.

Happy writing, and I hope you enjoy it here!

Welcome! I stumbled upon your work through the “read a newbie” feature.

You clearly put a lot of thought into this. I'm not familiar enough with the franchise to know all the details that led to this analysis, but it is impressive.

This reminds me of dreams I had as a teenager. Now, I no longer believe that there is just one person I can love.

Welcome! I stumbled upon your work through the “read a newbie” feature.

This reminds me a lot of what I went through with my first love. Thankfully, I managed to fall in love again, and it was a huge relief. However, there is still room for my first love in my life if he ever returns because I am polyamorous.

Welcome! I stumbled upon your work through the “read a newbie” feature.

This is very beautiful in theory, and perhaps I could have given up the distance if my first love agreed. However, after losing him, I found myself in an abusive relationship. I got out of that in 2014, but it has affected the rest of my life for better or for worse.

Welcome! I stumbled upon your work through the “read a newbie” feature.

This was a beautiful, heartfelt piece. Grief never goes away completely. It's like a bouncing ball in a box with a button. At first, the box is small, and the ball is constantly pushing the button. The box grows a little bigger over time, and the ball pushes the button less frequently, but it still hurts, and it will always hurt when that happens.

Review of Vice or virtue  Open in new Window.
Review by K5Rakitan Author IconMail Icon
Rated: E | (5.0)
Welcome! I stumbled upon your work through the “read a newbie” feature.

This was very thought-provoking.
I found the comments about praise to be quite interesting. Reading "Hunt, Gather, Parent: What Ancient Cultures Can Teach Us About the Lost Art of Raising Happy, Helpful Little Humans" by Michaeleen Doucleff has convinced me not to shower my child with praise. "I love you" at random moments of the day and "thank you" when he's actually helpful are enough. A child does things because those things are intrinsically enjoyable.

Welcome! I stumbled upon your work through the “read a newbie” feature.

Thank you for raising awareness on this issue. It is far too often overlooked. I'm an American, and I don't drive. Other Americans accuse me of being irresponsible, but I see it as the other way around.

Welcome! I stumbled upon your work through the “read a newbie” feature.

This is quite an intense story. I'm not sure which country this is supposed to be set in, but with the recent assassination of the medical insurance CEO in New York, I'm wondering how much that ambulance will cost her, and if those bills will cause her to become homeless.
