Long time listener, first time caller! Picked up Serious Weakness a while back and a few chapters in, I thought "this is a work I have to put down and return to later." Months pass, and I got to see different iterations of your art online: in multimedia and collaborative work you were a part of years ago, in anthologies (Slake House!!), and then finally here, in the short stories you publish through blogposts. I read quite a few in one night and the Coffee Shop AU was that one work that made me go "it's not quite time to revisit Serious Weakness, but /almost/"... It's hard to explain (like all good things!), but it's like all of these works are different memories and worlds that smell and feel and hurt and comfort in particular ways that my heart then goes "I think I can try walking up to this other work that caught my eye again"... or I just try something at complete random and it forms a core memory of when I read it asjsjj. The commenter from South Africa said it better, but these are works that all feel and smell alive. Even just the flow of the writing... the unexpected-yet-emotionally/sensorially-logical Style feels and smells like.... a brain... eyes... bodies. I left off in Serious Weakness somewhere in that apartment by the... ocean? I think? And now I'm ready to return and see/feel/smell that world again. I still remember being shocked and amazed when the protagonist had to take more pills than expected at the start... I don't know why, but big-small things like that are what always cut deep in your work to me. ... Though I also never want to sound like I'm expect your work to deliver anything in specific. I'm just happy and curious to see what you've made and what you'll make next. The internet feels like a smaller, kinder place Not Just with a blog and comments section like this, but also because I've gotten to see your work over the years (hello, digital neighbor!), and we even got to be a part of the same anthology together. Best wishes. 🌈
