What is this?
A penny dreadful for the modern reader! A thrilling tale for the masses! Read all about a corrupted hero’s hunt for redemption and an elven lordling’s quest to rescue his kidnapped king. The two estranged friends are racing against time - and dead gods - to achieve their goals. Will they make up and work together before it’s too late?
(Fractured Magic is a fantasy webserial with Victorian gothic overtones and a very queer cast of characters. It’s about political and personal accountability, ghosts both figurative and literal, and the agony of having a crush who ghosts you every time he has a mental health downswing.)
FAQ
Q: When are new chapters posted?
A: Every Monday! (But sometimes, if I’m behind schedule, in the wee hours of the morning on Tuesday). You can also get early (Friday) access to chapters on Patreon.
Q: What if I sign up after the story starts?
A: You’ll only get emails starting from the day you signed up, but you can catch up on the chapters you’ve missed here.
Q: Do you provide content warnings for the stories?
A: Yes, content warnings will be provided at the start of chapters. Please note, there is a general warning for fantasy violence and mild horror elements that may not always be specifically called out.
Q: How am I supposed to keep all of the characters straight?
A: It’s much safer to assume that no one in Fractured Magic is straight. But if you’re asking how to keep track of who’s who, I’ve made a handy character guide.
Q: I’m all caught up. What now?
A: Check out my other webserial, a fantasy mystery series called the Case Files of Sheridan Bell!
Q:How can I support the author?
A: You can support me on Patreon. There’s a general support tier at $2/mo, and at $5/mo, you can get early access to future Fractured Magic chapters.
