Happy Pride month! Have a story!

I made a little announcement elsewhere about my pen name being S.Park now, but I think I've mentioned that here already, and it's not like I need to come out to folks as a trans guy here. :3

But you might still enjoy the associated story, so have a link to it. I'm just using my google drive, because it's 7k words and that's feels long to format and paste into DW.

Coffee and Free-Fall

It's set in one of my favorite settings, which, probably amusingly, was invented for an epic sci-fi action adventure story with spies and politics and racial tensions and the galactic fate of humanity at stake. The only stories I've managed to finish in the setting, though, are small-scale things, mostly slice of life. (Though there is an upcoming anthology with one where a character punches a nazi, so that's fun!)

P.S. My patrons on Patreon are getting the sequel to this story today. Toss me a buck now if you'd like to read it early! It'll be up here sometime in the coming month.

Happy Pride month (in another format)

Happened over a Pride collection on AO3, realized that Coffee and Free-Fall would fit there. So why not?

Summary:

Emily was born and raised on Mars, in the Terran Commonwealth, where on paper morphs and humans are equals, but in reality society is highly segregated. There are opportunities easily available to humans that just aren't options for most morphs. Such as transition, for a person who feels weirdly comfortable as her male online alter-ego. But now that she's successfully emigrated to the Alliance of Sentients, far from the solar system she grew up in, she has more options. The only question is if Emily wants to grasp them. It feels scary, like falling, to think about becoming Eli. But it also feels strangely free...
