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, back in the day). 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.
