Rec: Fallen Hero: Rebirth

Title: Fallen Hero: Rebirth Author: Malin Rydén Format: Online text-based Choose-Your-Own-Adventure game Published/Free: Published Length: 380,000 Status: Complete Rating: Mature Warnings: Possible mentions of past abuse, suicide, alcoholism Link: https://www.choiceofgames.com/user-contributed/fallen-hero-rebirth/ Summary: Become the greatest telepathic villain Los Diablos has ever known! Once you were famous; soon you will be infamous. That is, unless your old friends in the Rangers stop you first. Juggle different identities and preserve your secrets as you build new alliances and try to forget the friendships you’ve left behind.

Review: In terms of interactive fiction, Fallen Hero: Rebirth may be the best one out there. The intricate and seamless writing introduces a world where superheroes are more than simple ‘do-gooders’ and where everything may not be as it seems. The characters you can romance are fully fleshed out and are truly living and breathing in the city that you may very well destroy…

Rec:  A Dissident Symphony

Title: A Dissident Symphony Author: Evercee (Hannah Pasedag) Format: Short story Published/Free: Up for free on Tapas! Length: Right now there are two chapters with the chapters being uploaded in small 600 word bits. Status: WIP Rating: Teen (some light violence, mentions to sexual themes, and crass language).

Link: https://tapas.io/series/A-Dissident-Symphony Summary: This story is about Nisha Kakkar, a young woman who suddenly finds herself thrown into a job she’s never wanted and forced to live on the fringes of a society she would have never willingly joined. It’s also about found family, really cool superpowers, complex social issues, and the journey to self love. Come join Nisha and her new life as she learns: what makes something worth fighting for, and more importantly, what makes it worth living for?

Review: I feel a little biased writing a review for this story since it’s my own! But what I can say is these characters/world are something I’ve had for years and years and they’re very dear to me. I’ve put a lot of thought into the world building and creating a meaningful story and I would more than appreciate anyone that takes the time to read it!

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.

Rec: A Normal Lost Phone

A normal, lost phone, in the street. It is still working. Will you find the truth?

Review: It was a surprise to find a game like this on Steam. At first it did not look special, but then you began to explore, and oh, girl, boy, person, the story then fits its pieces. You have to look at the messages, the forums, the Tinder-like app, the calculator, the photos, and some more, to understand it all. It is refreshing to see such an experience in clear therms to understand how SPOILER ALERT trans people feel when they face family rejection before coming out END SPOILER ALERT
