Alyssa’s Fiction

Alyssa writes short stories every now and then. For those interested in her unusual voice, approach, and fictional subject matter, those stories are collected here.

"okay I'm not sure what you're even trying to accomplish here"
Me to all of these men.

 

Men. What are they even? So many of them are so, so bad at sending OkCupid and similar missives that one wonders if they aren’t any of various Lovecraftian monsters pretending at typewritten humanity in order to seduce lovely victims. In this ongoing project, I take examples of dating-profile ridiculousness and weave it into the all-caps messages such eldritch abominations might send, turning love letters into Lovecraft Letters.

Every one of these is NSFW.

A "lucky" bamboo in a pot, as crudely drawn as it is unlucky, watered by some ugly drips from the ceiling and surrounded by a floor stain.

Jessie and James at the beach. Jessie is wearing a black strapless bikini. James has large breasts and is wearing an orange bikini and a wraparound skirt.
Really? You think they’re cis?

“You’re not even the first.”

Doctor Alyssa: This series answers the age-old question, what if the Doctor (of Doctor Who) was a woman who likes to make Hispanic cultural references and bears a suspicious resemblance to yours truly? The answer, of course, is sexy adventures involving ingenuity, verve, and above all compassion, with improbable companions and occasional poetry. Patrons can access a compilation of these stories here.
  1. I Blame the Sea: The Doctor finds herself in an army base full of shapeshifters and makes an unexpected yet highly overdue friend.
