Rec: Minu ga Hana

Title: Minu ga Hana Author: Rana Dorada (me!) Format: Web Serial Published/Free: Free Length: 600 to 1000 words per post Status: Ongoing Rating: T Warnings: Swearing, mentions of drug use, eating disorders, sexual assault, and/or bigotry. Link: https://minu-ga-hana-story.tumblr.com/ Summary:A web serial following the paranormal investigator Manami Hayase as she struggles to get her career off the ground. The scores of new people she meets along the way make it clear the world around her isn’t quite what she expected. In fact, it may be even better.

Review: It just started, so there’s not much to talk about yet without spoilers. I would know- I’m the author! Also, the plot is primarily about paranormal investigation, and my aim is to normalize the LGBT+ characters therein. Expect lighthearted fluff with plenty of twists and turns through horror and suspense.

Status: WIP Rating: Everyone Warnings: Mental illnesses (ex. anxiety and depression) are a major theme.

It’s about saving the universe, healthy ways of dealing with illnesses, and friendship. Most of the cast is LGBT+. They’re aliens. Review: i-it’s mine so i don’t think i should review it but it’s pretty decent i think/feel/hope.

Rec: Circuits and Veins

Rec: Imprint

Title: Imprint Author: Hermit in the Cave Format: Online novel, series Published/free: Free Length: 258,505 Status: Complete, with 5 chapters of the sequel, Ripple Effect, released. Currently updating, this is an active story. Rating: Mature Warnings: Murder, language, rape&other sexual crimes mentioned/implied, group homes, Here are the authors warning: “Okay, two things to know upfront to help you decide if this is something you want to read, or not your cup of tea - I’ll be honest, my work is not for everyone and plenty of people will fall into that latter category. 1. This is going to be long. It’s also not a straight forward sort of story, non linear and a big part of the mystery is what exactly is going on. 2. There will be violence here. I write about troubled characters, not all those characters are nice people, not all of those not-so-nice people are villains either. That last point especially can be a real deal breaker for some, so keep it in mind. Enjoy smile.png” Link: http://www.gayauthors.org/story/hermit-in-the-cave/imprint Summary: In spilled blood and desperation, their fate was sealed; in a quiet corner of the world, far removed from genocidal wars and marauding “demons,” the stage is being set. Tragic soul mates, a human weapon, an elven exile and a tortured empath are pushed into play. Between ancient mysteries, relentless hunters and scheming gods, the truth runs deeper and they were trapped here long ago…

Review: Wow. This is one of the the greatest stories I’ve ever read. It is a fantasy that centers on several main characters as they (and we, as the readers) try to figure out what is going on. It starts a little confusing, but I’m begging you to read through. It starts making sense really quickly. It’s even better on the second read through! I resisted making a rec for so long because I felt that surely someone would rec this Imprint any day now, (and do it much better than I am) but it’s been a while and there is no rec, and a story like this deserves more readers!!

The author is already writing the sequel, ripple effect.

Rec: Dragon at the Bar

Title: Dragon at the Bar Author: enblackink Format: Short story Published/Free: Free Length: 11,661 Status: Complete Rating: Mature Warnings: Mentions of past abuse Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/604772 Summary: After years of running from a past he’d rather not remember a young Dragonet has no care for mating seasons or mates, but a chance meeting at a bar may change all that.

Review: This story rather surprised me. I thought I was going to read something cliche about dragon’s mating, but it was a rather quirky but sweet story about dragon’s mating. I rather liked the speech pattern in this story. It’s not anything too confusing, but for me it felt like a breath of fresh air, something different and interesting that just adds to the charm. The characters were interesting and the little details woven into the story was quite subtle but engaging. Worldbuilding might seem a little off on how the details are revealed and explained, apparently this particular story was an excerpt to a main story that has not actually been written down yet. I don’t really mind myself though. I urge everyone to check this story out!

Author has indicated that maybe they might post more so looking forward to it! It’s a cute story worth reading. :D

Rec: The Witch’s Shadow

Title: The Witch’s Shadow Author: FlamencoPenguin Format: Novella Published/Free: Free Length: 22k Status: Complete Rating: Teen Warnings: None Link: https://www.fictionpress.com/s/2591023/1/ Summary: Nell is trouble, and always has been, through no fault of his own. Toby has watched him grow under the witch's shadow, and fought for him when he could. But when everything starts to go wrong, who will Toby choose? The villagers and a normal life, or Nell? Review: Set in a village way back when (I won't hazard a guess lest I further embarrass myself), the story follows the friendship of two boys, one normal and accepted, and the other mute and ostracised, and how a tight knit community can affect an intimate relationship. The writing is beautiful and masterfully wrought. No annoying grammar issues, no endless spelling mistakes, just solid writing from an author who has put in the hard work. The story itself is--for the lack of a better word--effortless. It doesn't try to be too dramatic, or too suspenseful or anything else but is still compelling, organic and plausible. It isn't the edgiest, the smartest, or the most literary work you will EVER read, but it is a solid, beautiful story from an author who I wish would consider doing more writing. (Original Post)
