A quick thread of #free stuff to #read on a lazy Sunday! Perhaps while #AO3 is down?

What about a very young wicked witch hiding in plain sight in a mundane school? We're only a couple of chapters in, so there's plenty of time to grow along with the characters.

Of course, none of this will harm the update schedule for SIDEQUESTED, which will update three times a week as per usual and is in the middle of a very VERY normal scene.

a fabulous panel from Sidequested by @kbspangler.com & @alepresser.com

Love seeing Robin in battle mode.
a single panel, from the middle of a fight sequence, showing both depth of field and character. in the foreground, slightly blurry, the head of a young, pinkish-skinned woman with wide eyes, pink hair, and a determined expression on her face. Also in the foreground, slightly blurry, her raised hand--with black fingernail polish--holding, at the ready a large black sword with a crossbar hilt. behind her, up to their chests in light blue water, 4 other young adult characters, all looking stunned, with huge eyes and tiny pupils. left-to-right: pinkish-skinned man with short brown hair, in a yellow top with a guitar case slung over his back; light brown-skinned woman with shortish, messy blue hair in a white top; light brown-skinned woman with long orange hair in an orange top; light brown-skinned man with short-appearing dark hair in a dark top. behind them, a bit of a cliff and a mighty waterfall which is emptying into the pool of water they are all standing in. great sense of arrested motion and emotional impact.

“Boopsie.”

“No.”

Where did the Witch Queen get her middle name, @Alepresser?

My Peony the vulture plushie has arrived! Peony, from SideQuested by @alepresser.com and @kbspangler.com , looks right at home on a shelf with Radish from Nothing Special, a Doubleclicks raptor (their name is D.C. for "Dinosaur Companion"), and Kermit the Frog. Enjoy your tea, Peony!
A photo of four plushies: Peony the vulture from Side Quested, Radish from Nothing Special, Kermit the Frog, and a Doubleclicks raptor named D.C. for dinosaur companion. They're sitting on a bookshelf in front of many graphic novels and webcomic collections, including Side Quested, Nothing Special, Hark A Vagrant, Widdershins, Dork Tower, Order of the Stick and Girl Genius.

Art books and non standard graphic novels are the worst.

It's less seemingly arbitrary than poetry, I totally get why for example The Culture art book is the size it is. However it does make my art book/graphic novel shelf a complete mess.
The end of a billy bookcase top shelf. The Scott Pilgrim graphic novels are all tiny paperbacks. There's then a softcover and a hardcover Mouse Guard book of very slightly different sizes, Sidequested and Grass thinner than both but different heights. Digger is a real brick, there are two Calvin & Hobbes collections one of which is portrait and the other landscape. The Culture drawings book overhangs the shelf by at least 10cm and finally two Simon Stålenhag books from different presses so again very subtly different sizes.

A small green fuzzy plush toy of an octopus with stubby little tentacles. Its eyes and smile are stitched in black thread. It looks very friendly. There is a little bit of purple visible around the edges of the tentacles. A small purple fuzzy plush toy of an octopus with stubby little tentacles.

Finally, we're running a serialized light novel at the SIDEQUESTED main site. It's free, so you can sample my prose before you decide to buy anything...

...sort of. Dr. Beer doesn't let me kill anything in this world.
