QueerSpace - An Episodic Anime set in Outer Space!

On the frontiers of space, conformity is shunned. Individuality is embraced. No group flaunts this more than those known as Genetics. Unique and one-of-a-kind, despite their outward appearance, each Genetic is a human being nonetheless.
A genetically reconstructed human being who might look like a lion or a tiger or a bear.

Oh my.

Mankind has been terraforming planets, moons and asteroids across the Milky Way for centuries, creating new plants and animals by splicing DNA. While perfecting their craft, bioengineers realized these techniques could be used to also alter people. Now, just like getting a tattoo or having an ear pierced, a person can get animal DNA spliced into their genes to make a better statement about who they are.
This is making the life of a very much all-human bounty hunter named Maybell slightly difficult. It doesn't help matters that she's sexually delectable, and a wee bit crazy.
If only she didn't stink like day old fish all the time.

QueerSpace is a tale told in Episodic format, where each Episode is written as if it were a thirty second teaser at the beginning, followed by five or six ten minute chapters, making for an hour-long show.

In this story, a normal human being named Maybell lives with the undesireable fact that, despite her fear and loathing, she likes genetically altered humans as lovers and friends. Her life on a dismal moon in a far-flung corner of the galaxy gets turned on its end when an old flame comes calling --

-- A horse named Sara Jane.

DOTS - SciFi Adventure with a Hint of Romance

Mankind has invented a machine that can locate a Genius hidden among the populace. With two simple tests, not only can a person find out if they're a Genius, but they also will be told what they're a Genius at. Unless they find out they're a Dot. The only thing a Dot knows is that the world hates them.

That is, unless you're a Dot named Hank. The world discovers quickly that it needs Hank very much. But he had better hurry. Bad guys have a use for what they know Dots can do, and they will stop at nothing to achieve their goal.

Read DOTS—a series of seven Light Novels—and see Hank use his Genius to somehow Save the World.

Sort of.

This story is a tale classic in its tragedy, about the foibles of Man and how he destroys the things he loves, all to prove himself superior over the Universe. In a quest to defeat Hilter during Wold War II, Winston Churchill and Franklin Deleanor Roosevelt barter with a race of serpents who come from outer space.

There are a few inconveniences for the leaders of the West when dealing with these creatures. For one, they can't even talk to them, for the aliens 'speak' by manipulating light. But in exchange for the knowledge of how to build an atomic bomb, all the monsters want from us is to live in peace at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.

What could go wrong with that?

Gumi and her best friend Miku front a rock band called The VocaLords. Using her cherrywood Les Paul guitar as a weapon against evil, Gumi also pursues a more pressing agenda -- sending deserving souls to Hell where they belong. Everything starts going wrong when VioLinja -- a violinist with a God Complex -- is allowed to join the band.

A very big God Complex.

Thanks to VioLinja, Gumi must set Hell loose upon the world she sought to save. Alone and half alive, without her bandmates or her best friend, Gumi struggles to contain the havoc VioLinja wreaks.

Things start going right when a mysterious, sea-faring man who goes by the acronym of T.O.P. comes to Gumi's rescue. Aboard his research ship in the Sea of Okhotsk, T.O.P. helps Gumi prepare for her final battle against VioLinja's reign of terror.

The VocaLords is written as if it were a series of thirty minutes animes. Each Episode will consist of a sixty second teaser, followed by three to five chapters of about ten minutes reading time apiece.

Each Episode will also contain one or two songs I have written personally, with the lyrics incorporated into the storyline.

I hope you have as much fun reading it as I have had with writing it.
