Milestone Goals
Ebooks!
At this stage I'll be have the time and means to collect at least five stories together and offer them as an ebook. Patrons will get a free download link and then the collections will be put up for sale at a site like Gumroad. Exciting, isn't it?

As of today, September 24th 2015, More Words Than Twitter is on hiatus. Hope to see y'all later. Until then, stay safe.
Hi, hey, hello! My name's Elizabeth and this is my writing project, More Words Than Twitter. Here, you'll find stories about women like me, mostly, and the unsettling, often fantastic worlds they find themselves living in. I update at least twice a month with 1000 - 3000 word stories, each one posted here as a PDF file exclusively for patrons and then published on my fiction blog two days later for the general public. They'll all be queer, in some way, and undeniably strange, because so am I, on both counts.
And the world needs more fiction like that.
At the moment, there are two long running series that update every other month alongside standalone stories or pieces with smaller scopes. Lemme tell you about 'em.
dead letter deirdre
Deirdre is a courier, a person charged with running letters and the occasional package that appear in the trunk of their car from one end of creation to the other. It's a tough, lonely job, one made worse by how little any given courier knows about their purpose or even their employers. Deirdre's been on the job for ten years, a stretch of time that's seen her lose partners, family, and most memories of having a fixed point to call home. The story begins with an aberration in her trunk - a living person - and things continue to go south from there.
cheryl, the witch
Cheryl is a witch, one of several in her city and one on the edge of going grey, a process in which the use of her magic gradually saps the color from her hair. It's something she doesn't like to dwell on, so instead she spends her time keeping her neighborhood clean of troublemakers and courting a punk ten years her junior named Laura. The stories follow her encounters with the local magical wildlife and explore just what it means when a witch loses all of her color.
Examples of standalone pieces include morrigan & the eidolon is andi, both of which deal with women facing the dangerously odd corners of their worlds.
As for how the Patreon process goes: you set an amount you'd like to give whenever I publish a piece and can set a total limit so I don't break your bank during a productive month (say you give $10 per story and set your limit to $20 - if I end up publishing three pieces that month, you only pay me for the first two.) And again, for the purposes of this project, a "piece" consists of a 1000 to 3000 word short story.
All that said, thank you for reading this far, and I hope you'll consider supporting my weird, often wonderful, and sometimes agonizing words.
