Happy June, World Anvil! I come bearing gifts! Well, gifts that are also self-promotion BUT they're nice things for you, too!


Gift the first is my Pride Month unofficial challenge, linked below. This challenge is for an ultra-short story featuring queer joy. It runs until the end of the month and there are already five submissions (plus one from me and a seventh that was technically too long for the challenge but still available for reading).

These stories are all so sweet and lovely. If you're looking for something nice to read in 3 minutes or less, check them out and support their authors. You still have two weeks if you'd like to add your own to the list!

Details of and submissions to the 2026 Pride Month writing challenge.


Gift the second is what I'm calling the altscotch, or alternative hopscotch. Summer Camp Prep this year is in the style of hopscotch, with each week having a new set of 7 tasks. The hopscotch is adorable but the prep tasks weren't working for me. So I created an alternative set of tasks that are more thematic.

If you're struggling with the official tasks or just want to check out some alternatives, you can find my altscotch at the link below. I'll be writing more on my own prep throughout the week, and adding to the altscotch once the fourth and final theme is revealed on Saturday.

My plans for the annual prompt-based worldbuilding challenge for 2026.


Some of you may recall voting for what future guide I should write. A guide on navigation was the winner, and I'm now over halfway done that article. I won't promise an ETA, but it's coming Soon(tm)!

Happy Pride, Happy Prep, and Happy Worldbuilding!

Unexpected Delivery

I'd love feedback. I struggle writing short stuff so I'd love to know how this works as a short piece. What do you think of the character dynamic? And whatever else you want to tell me about it!
