Hi,
I’m Else (as in the adjective or adverb), a queer creature who does various pointless things. You might know me from Bluesky (or even Twitter). Sometimes my writing makes people feel things.
This website is where I post my writing, more or less as I finish each story. I like to explore themes related to trauma, queerness, body horror, and kink; some of what I write is meant to get you off and some of it should make you queasy and I hope that some of it does both.
My work also appears in other places:
- I have two stories in Emptied Spaces: An Empty Spaces Anthology (“Rot Seeks Doll” and “love in the containment breach”), which is available as a PDF on Itch.io. Sadly, its physical form is out of print.
- Joyous/Decay is a collection of some of my best writing from late 2021 and early 2022.
I have a presence on various social media sites:
- Bluesky, as @else.social (bird photos! microfiction! kink!)
- Tumblr, as @maybeelse (mostly reblogging stuff!)
- Glass, as @else (photography is one of my other hobbies!)
- Cohost, as @else (poor eggbug was too good for this world)
- Twitter, as @MaybeElse, @ElseDoesArt, and @Oft_Decayed (all inactive for years)
If you like what I’m doing you can buy prints of my artwork.
I do not use AI or LLMs at any point in my writing process. Every word you see here is crafted by hand—especially the misplaced ones.
