Well, probably should do a self-promo post since it's been... half a year or so.

Hi, I'm D. Moonfire (https://d.moonfire.us/), I mostly write steampunk and fantasy. 97% of those words are free to read on my website, https://fedran.com/ with the index of stories at https://fedran.com/sources/. No Patreon, no subscriber, no fees (well, I have a Patreon, Librepay, and Ko-Fi, but you get nothing special for them, what you read is what you get). Really, the only payment I crave is to someone say they like it, ask questions about stories, or just let me know I touched their lives.

For a while I was belting out a chapter or story a week and did so for three hundred consecutive weeks (I'm proud of following cadences). I did burn out for a little but I'm getting back into it, but that is why "about" 907,205 words can be found on the site for your enjoyment. All of the stories can be read online, download in EPUB and PDF format. I even have an OPDS feed if you want to add my library to your ebook reader.

Most of my stories are "lightly edited" (I don't ask for money, I can't pay editors), but I do have a couple professionally polished ones on the main website.

For a fantasy world, I didn't want it to be all action or drama, so there are slices of life, forensic mages, people struggling with the trials of just being human with topics ranging from saving one's family from death to dealing with jealousy in an open marriage. There are also spicy stories, which are hopefully all properly tagged.

My stories are also overlapping. The story about a talented swinger being rescued by a middle-aged lesbian who can sharpen knives with a touch bumps against the story about a young violin player trying to avenge a murder which intersects with a story about a young man trying to take a trip across the country in his new fangled car.

If you have a topic you want, I'll be glad to tell you what I have or what might touch those topics. Some of them will get me to write it, but I just like to burble about the joy of world-building.

When Aime visited today, she asked about a trans romance story I wrote a few years ago. Apparently she really liked it.

I couldn't remember the name, so I just found it again, May I Lead This Dance.

Like most of my free stories, it hasn't gone through my usual round of editing. I still like the story, mostly for the wish fulfillment, transformation, loving parents, and autistic mages.

▶️ For the latest update on Hurricane #Milton @ WaPo from their 47 correspondents contributing to LIVE reports.

"Milton is now a Category 2 hurricane, crossing the Florida peninsula after making landfall along its west-central coast Wednesday night. The storm, possibly the most powerful hurricane to hit the Tampa Bay area in more than a century, is producing a life-threatening ocean surge that could result in 10 to 15 feet of water in some areas and extensive damage. Even before landfall, strong winds brought a spate of unusually strong tornadoes, including one in St. Lucie County that caused multiple fatalities."

Palestinians are becoming angry with Hamas' leadership. They say "If Hamas wanted to start a war, 'they should have secured people first — secured a place of refuge for them, not thrown them into suffering that no one can bear,' said Salma El-Qadomi, 33, a freelance journalist who has been displaced 11 times since the conflict started."

Even if Palestinians were in favor of the October 7 attack on Israeli settlements, they now want the war to end and think that Hamas is being stubborn about not being willing to negotiate a cease-fire that will require them to return hostages. #Israel #Gaza #FreeToRead
