Stand-alone works online
- Flightless Hummingbird: The Synthetic Journal - A work of hyperfiction, encouraging non-linear exploration.
- Sailor Nothing - "Being a sailor suited warrior of love and justice is one of the most miserable, thankless, dangerous, and emotionally crippling jobs ever. A bitter little trip into the darker side of shoujo." Not the most brilliant writing you'll ever encounter, but a fun read with a lot of experimentation in hyperfiction styles.
