Hi, trans enbygirl here, named Mary Jane. I'd bought and read Serious Weakness a couple weeks ago, and subsequently bought and read 18 Foot Leash (will try to read the rest of the stories from that collection soon.) I enjoyed Serious Weakness immensely, it's one of my favourite books now, and my favourite (erotica? psychological horror? both? neither? transcends both.) story. It left me wanting more of both characters, and got me inspired to start on writing my own gay-twink-torment-destruction-captivity story in the same sorta vein of psychological themes in erotica. The use of autism and physical disability is something that stuck pretty heavily with me, not to mention pretty much everything going on with Insul. Reminded me a lot of Killing Stalking - which I remember seeing you mention when I looked over the retrospective. I think Serious Weakness is really something special, and I'll be hard-pressed to find something as deeply engrossing and disturbing anytime soon. I'll see about picking up a physical copy, too; I'd love being able to read it in person.
I don't have a ton to say about 18 Foot Leash. It wasn't to my personal taste, but I still admired the writing and imagery and thought you did fantastic with it. I look forward to reading the other stories from Torture Works.
In any case, I love the writing of yours I have read so far. It's inspiring me to write again - the story I mentioned working on before is probably the further I have got into writing a single work in months, maybe years, or maybe ever. I think I have you to thank for that, giving me inspiration and motivation to create a work that's in line with the sort of things I want to read.
Apologies for the overly lengthy message, I had a lot to say about Serious Weakness. I really loved it and thought it was a fantastic work of horror and drama and erotica. Please keep making such creative works, all I've seen so far is great.
Thanks,
Mary Jane

Kilroy was here.
i love all ur work <3
reading it actually allows me to feel all these things i'd longed to find in bizarro fiction and yaoi. i never knew that it could be found, or that it was the same thing. understanding now makes me feel a lot more understood thank u very much!!
your stuff is just so cool! getting serious weakness for christmas and i am vibrating w/ excitement. been reading the past works to prepare. ty for the literature <33
โค your work๐
I've been following your work for a long time and it's always been super meaningful to me as someone who has always sort of existed outside of things, and INNOCENTverse is really hitting me hard because I. um. like boys. I'm scared out of my mind just typing that because I'm not sure I haven't completely misinterpreted everything but I wanted to let you know how much it means to see it written about in a way that like... leaves space for the possibility of empathy at least? Thank you. Sorry if I'm off the mark.
i just wanted to say ur art means a lot to me and i find it oddly comforting like its so dark that it makes me feel a bit more okay about gross things i think about sometimes you are a very important person and i truly believe that- hol up i gotta go take a shit brb
hi charity, just wanted to stop by. i'm working on my own website & am working on my links page, & wanted to see if u had a cutesy 88x33 button or whatever to link. haha u don't have one but i will link u anyway ^_^
anyway, u don't know me, but ur site has been a big inspo for me for a while now, & i finally finished reading Serious Weakness back in June. it's stuck with me these last few months. hope u are well & i plan to read more of ur work

yesterday i got gay married to my beautiful transsexual wife
today i replayed CRY$TAL WARRIOR KE$HA and remembered how much your shit rocked my world when i was closeted
thanks for helping me survive the closet with your work, even if that was not your intention
survival was worth it <3
I'm high on amphetamines and I'm gonna go read all your free stories and try to get through as much of your books that I own before I run out of blue dust. Been a fan since at least 2018 but I lose track of time
your writing gives me the strength to care less about the things that don't matter and more about the things that do. 18 foot leash put new gyri in my brain and cunt toward enemy is like looking in a mirror. good work great work can't wait for more
i played thru your twine game 'with those we love alive' today at the recommendation of my friend fran while under the influence of mushrooms and while i didn't learn anything about myself i didn't already know it is good to be reminded of these things. the last time i did mushrooms i read my girlfriend 'psycho nymph exile' until she came. i've broke up with her since then for reasons i'd rather not go into here but regardless i have come to view the book as an instruction manual of sorts on how to live one's life. i'm so happy i quit my job so i could read more even if it fucks up everything for me lmao. i hope you are doing okay these days ~ <3
just devoured psycho nymph exile after I saw it mentioned in a youtube vid. kinda feel like part of my mind was devoured and shat out in a new shape (I absolutely mean this as a compliment). there's an absolute unreality to certain ways of existing in this world and even if mine isn't like vellus or isidol's there's still this kinship of Knowing and drifting in the same dissociated abyss. it helps. absolutely gonna be thinking about that one for a while + bound to dig into your other stuff too
Seriweak therapy girl here. Since reading Ive started to go by Tria with some close friends. Ive been wanting to shift to a more feminine name for a while now and there's something really nice and entrancingly personal about the circumstances of that name in the book.
Ive also since moved halfway across the country and your work makes me feel so seen that my search for a new therapist is at least partially dictated by finding someone that I would feel comfortable talking about it with. You were right; it really is the first line of therapeutic intervention <3
I read Serious Weakness about a month ago. Various subtle aftershocks are still resolving but the main effect was that some faultline finally gave way in my mind and now for the first time in my life I feel like a real human being. I cannot properly express my gratitude.
Also... 1/3 of the way through, I was already at this point pretty disconcerted with how strongly and precisely I was relating to Trianon, and then his internal stream of consciousness spiraled off into "Tenser, said the Tensor." This was fucking terrifying for me, because I have also read The Demolished Man and I've gone into that song myself when stressed for ten years. Congratulations on the extraordinary hard read.
i left my heart in the triple lamia contrition puzzlebox. thank you for a hundred disgusting perfect eternities, wishing you a hundred more.
I wouldn't be the same person, without your work. Thank you <3
