Needless to say, hold on tight

Hi, I'm Audrey! 33-year-old non-binary woman who's into robots and comics and possibly an unhealthy amount of love for a series about children's card games. I play Railen Blueshadow on Dungeons & Lesbians and cohost Pod of Greed and Prime Cuts!

Hey guys things got really serious here and I'm freaking out because we had to get rid of some of our belongings since we couldn't drag them around, plus we don't have a Lyft. It's hot and my asthma is acting up.

Donate to Help Us Find Safety and a Fresh Start, organized by Benji Y

I never imagined I’d be in this position, but I’m reaching out because my mom, our three… Benji Y needs your support for Help Us Find Safety

I had to make another gofundme, nothing we are doing is helping and relatives won't help us and let us stay stranded outside. It's hot and there are no hotels that are cheap this weekend. Again we don't have any open shelters. The rest is in the link.

I'm sorry again but I'm in need of a lot of help and this time it's dire. Mostly for my mental health. I've spiraled so hard this morning I want it to stop.

So please help me, I've been crying for hours.

[chassdraws]

Hello! Things have gotten more serious since the last week of posts, so much so that Benji has gone the proper GoFundMe route and I encourage you to please share and donate if you can! In the meantime, short term expenses like shelter/meds/food could be handled with paypal if you don't wanna submit to the GFM!

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

A little over a year into the five year mission, McCoy starts sleeping, separately, with both Kirk and Spock, assuming--as almost everyone else who meets them does--that they are already together.

He assumes incorrectly.

A smutty comedy of errors, written for the 2026 McSpirk Reverse Big Bang hosted by @mcspirkevents! I was very privileged to be pair with @blissygelabwisteria's fantastic art and get to write this silly little farce.

You get transported into the universe of the last media you consumed. How are you doing?

This is better than my real life

I'm doing well

I'm doing fine

I'm not having a good time

I'm absolutely cooked

There is nothing different about this universe and my own

books with non linear narrative, experiments with the form, etc: go!

please do not all say house of leaves i know some of you bitches read books

[teratocybernetics]

Alan Moore's Voice of the Fire: each chapter takes place in the same chunk of London over something like 1000 years

if we can count comics, Moore's Promethea too, one of the volumes is a trip around the Tree of Life, i think the whole narrative can be mapped on the Tarot Majors too

Mark Danielewski's Only Revolutions is a book length prose poem that you read from the ends in to the center. i haven't gotten through it but respect the ambitious structure

i feel like Hal Duncan's Vellum & Ink had something interesting structurally between them but i don't think i finished them, specifically bc i waited too long to start Ink after Vellum & got completely lost

Honorable mention/not sure if it counts but the language was interesting enough that I'm tempted to include it: The Tide Will Erase All by Justin Hellstrom is an Improbability Drive-style apocalypse told by a ten(?) year old but might also be a radio/satellite announcement of their story after the fact? needs a revisit

OH SHIT Koji Suzuki's Ring Cycle. Ring is a horror novel that happens on an entirely different level of operation than what we find out about it on Spiral & Loop

Jeff Vandermee's Dead Astronauts, i actually don't know how to describe what he did with it but it's nuts

The Dictionary of the Khazars is a novel that's a lexicon

[saxifraga-x-urbium]

this is turning up a whole bunch of things I hadn't heard of which is EXACTLY what i wanted god bless you all:

So Stories of Your Life and Others has been on my wishlist for ages as has Pale Fire; Voice of the Fire is on my bookshelf waiting for me and I think I read Promethea or parts thereof when it first came out; I read Catch-22 recently and will rave about it at the drop of a hat, read Cloud Atlas… a couple of years ago I think? After having it on my shelf for a million billion years & dug the matryoska structure muchly, but yeah! Otherwise I hadn't heard of most of these?!?! excellent work everyone well done

[radiosaturday]

Got a few I haven't seen in the notes:

Blake Butler's There Is No Year is decidedly nonlinear, bordering on nonsensical, with upsetting vibes and such perfect pacing that I couldn't put it down

Matt Bell plays in this territory a lot; pretty much anything by him is going to be fighting you back a little but my introduction was the short story "The Cartographer's Girl"

John Elizabeth Stintzi takes a pretty oblique approach to structure in Vanishing Monuments and, I understand, in My Volcano. (Disclaimer: they are also a friend of mine, but I make the recommendation in earnest)

The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins is like if Warren Ellis tried to write House of Leaves, and I mean that as a compliment

I'm sure you're aware of Our Share of Night by Mariana Enriquez, but it is, in fact, all that and a bag of chips, especially in its structure

Monica Ojeda does some fun things with structure, especially in Nefando but definitely also in Jawbone, though I'll note that Nefando especially deals in some very dark territory

Steven Millhauser's short stories are pretty distinctly nonlinear and often outright weird in a very fun way -- I love his collection The Barnum Museum, notably the source of the short story that inspired the movie The Illusionist

I feel like Ayse Papatya Bucak's The Trojan War Museum fits here, but I also just feel like that collection is underrated, so cum grano salis

I think the movie is better-known, but Laszlo Krasznahorkai's Satantango is formally and topically very weird in a way that I found delightful

I also enthusiastically cosign the recommendations of Coup de Grace and Pale Fire. For what it's worth, Pale Fire is also one of the funniest books I've ever read.

[saxifraga-x-urbium]

I am not aware of Our Share of Night! Also, "bordering on nonsensical, with upsetting vibes" is like catnip. Thank you.

253 by Geoff Ryman (originally published on the web with hyperlinks, later published as a paper book) now at : https://www.253novel.com/

The Bridge by Iain Banks

and

Marabou Stork Nightmares by Irvine Welsh

(both have the dude in a coma)

See Under: Love by David Grossman. It's in four parts, two of them are straightforward lit fic, one is salmon point-of-view, if I recall correctly, one is a story told in dictionary definitions.

And short stories:

Stet by Sarah Gailey (the story emerges from the footnotes)

Wikihistory by Desmond Warzel (a story in forum posts)

[optimumonprime]

2010 Pulitzer Prize winner A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan not only is nonlinear but also has a chapter that’s just a PowerPoint presentation. One of my favorite novels ever.
