Hello all. With the dark months upon us, I have a collection of thoughtful, fanciful and unique reads. We've got some heavy topics here-- inequality, slavery, environmental collapse, personal disability. They're handled in ways that I hope you will agree with me are thoughtful instead of crushing. Though it's tempting in difficult times to stick to the lighter tales, sometimes reading things with more depth can give us insights into real life. Wishing you all health and safety as we start rounding out this astounding year! Onwards to the stories, and happy writing to all doing NaNoWriMo this year.

19 year old Allice, son of imprisoned dissidents and lower class citizen in a highly classist Dogson City.
