You’re in the right place. This is exactly why I started Roguish Goblin Stories.
I used to withhold my art until it got picked up for publication or production. As if my art wasn’t “good enough” to share unless someone else put their stamp of approval on it.
Yet every time I shared my art, people told me I made them feel seen, or helped them understand a loved one.
So I decided it’s time for me to give my art directly to you.
Not only that, but I don’t want to hide stories away until they’re “perfect.” Nah. I’m pulling the curtain back so you can see me develop stories from the first idea to the time it’s ready to rest in your hands.
What you get:
Free ebooks: zines, books, plays
BTS videos on my artistic process
Exclusive access to original music
Sneak peeks of projects in development
And more!
We’re about the adventure in RGS, not the finished product. We’re shifting from “I need to present a polished piece of art and make it look effortless” to “What if we tried an idea together?”
Yeah, it’s messier. But I’d rather share the process with you than hide it away for fear it’s not “perfect” or ever “good enough.”
See below for a sneak peek into what the platform looks like!
Roguish Goblin Stories:
Queer adventures, in the rough.
RGS is your go-to PWYC platform of trans aspec stories by and for us.
The pay-what-you-choose living library where community meets art in progress → adventurous stories from the ground up, with no ads.
A living library of queer stories-in-progress, with a flexible subscription model = affordable, ad-free stories growing hope before your eyes.
You’re ready to see queer stories by living queer artists (with no ads.)
You want to see how a play grows from first draft to production-ready.
You’re curious about how a trans aroace actor approaches artmaking as advocacy (writing, self-producing, performing Shakespeare, stage combat, teaching: the works.)
I used to only share my finished art: publications (14 internationally!), show pics…the “polished” stuff.
In RGS, you’re getting the behind the scenes process. (picture featuring earplugs for the Romeo & Juliet brawl at Ohio Shakes: safety first!)
