Beta Academy
A world changed, adapted to the crises it has suffered from. Beta Academy is the tale of a single day in the life of a circle of friends, all living in an institution for the limbless orphans this world calls Betas. Jessica, Amy, Adam, and the rest all struggle with accepting the lives set out for them by the United Nations’ Beta Care and Future Protection Programme.
Dollhood: A Woman's Choice
This is my second story in Dave Potter’s Alternate Britain, revolving around a Neo-Victorian culture that expects its women to trammel themselves as a status symbol. In this world, certain men expect even more, they appreciate surgical transformation, where the question of consent is not even considered.
Taking the previous entry as a jumping off point for an expanded world, we follow the upbringing of the Hodgkinson twins, two young ladies born into the Society of Dolls with full expectation of following their mother’s example.
This can be considered a tangential sequel to An Artist’s Masterpiece, which I recommend reading first, even if it is tonally different. With this story, I aimed to flesh out the world these girls live in, and go into far more detail than in Masterpiece, layering emotional complexity and intrigue. This has resulted in a much slower tale, but hopefully more stimulating.
Thanks to Dave and Slothargy for storyline guidance.

Burying the Lead
This story is set in CelestialSecrets’ alternate world invented for the story Thorns and Roses. In this setting, there was a Transition in the 20th century where genetic editing allowed the United States to make their citizens sexually dimorphic — men have arms, women do not. It’s just that simple, until it’s not. My interest comes from the cultural changes that come with half the population being what we would consider disabled, and those women being chastised for any attempt at independence. This side-story is set in a very conservative part of the country, where the Transition is not discussed anymore, and where its values are held in the truest form.
This was written for the Amputee Nation Writing Challenge for October 2022. The topic was “failure of the education system”. The last story I wrote for this challenge was Life Together.
Thanks to CelestialSecrets, Slothargy, and TheBrentwoodSociety for reviewing and inspiring this exploration!
One Way To Graduate
Ethan and Nora are two people who would usually never cross paths, but when Ethan’s sister Vicky invites the severely-disabled Nora over for an aftergrad party on false pretenses, Ethan has to step in. What follows is not a conventional romance, its a telling of one night shared by two students with incredibly different lives as they grow closer, and learn to understand each other.
File this under disability stories, this one has elements of bondage in Nora’s tethers and fixtures and her body’s limitations, but there’s little kink here otherwise. A high school romance I never thought I would write, this story was a roleplay I threw in a blender and refined while other ideas were stewing, before it grew into a longer, more detailed story.
Thanks to aliasMV for editing this one, and helping along the way!
En plein air: A Holsom Vignette
A short vignette about Jeany, a doll wife last seen in A Holsom Women’s Social. This story is set in the town of Holsom, Newfathersland, in some undetermined number of years after that story. While heavily inspired by Hope Hodgkinson, this is a far different setting with different norms, motivations, and design. As much as I enjoyed helping with Women’s Social, Jeany is Slothargy’s creation, yet I’ve been inspired by the limitations of her lifestyle for a long time; inspired by how such a severely restricted and modified life could be the thesis of a loving man set against the backdrop of a different time and place.
Take a walk with the couple on a quiet summer day, as Jeany reminisces silently on their life together.
This story is building off a character introduced in A Holsom Women’s Social. Reading up to chapters 5 and 6 is recommended.
Life Together (Like Me)
This story was written as part of the Amputee Nation Writing Challenge for July 2020. The topic was “reverse amputation”, so I aimed to show how limblessness could be the default state for someone, one of comfort and security, and how two people who see this differently might fall in love before one wants more.
Spending the Holidays Inside
This might actually be my first non-mature post, but I’ve been inspired by some disability stories lately, some great character work. Well, that and some really unique nullface photoshops by xyzzy2112, LatexSuperGirl, and others! So I thought I would make a second try at a deafblind story, something more wholesome for Disabled-dreams’ 2019 Christmas Story Competition.
A Report from the Farm
Part 2 of the Anything Co. series
This story about a pony learning to accept her new life, is an experiment. The narrative is written in a complete stream of consciousness, between the pony and her handler, so-to-speak.
The Service Model
Part 1 of the Anything Co. series
A story about a young girl, turned into a tool for sexual release, and the events that ensue as she descends into her new life.
This story was begun as a GuroChan request (unknowingly) for Limbliss (who runs Amputee Nation) but it quickly grew into something more. This is the beginning of the Anything Company. This series will tackle more straightforward, present-tense body modification. The medical tech aims to be ten years off and no more, showing what a shadow organization could create today if it had a market.
The Taming of Josephine
A collaboration between myself and Brentwood Society, who wrote the following introduction:
Before you begin, those of you who have been following us (and by “us” I mean me) should know that the following story takes place in a setting outside of the usual Brentwood Society and ComPet world. This alt-Britain setting, originally conceived of by Dave Potter, and introduced to me through the work of the writer cafterhomme, features many of the things you, the reader, have come to expect from my little corner of the internet: bondage and humiliation wrapped in manners, civility, and social hierarchy. As cafter puts it, the setting “celebrates womanhood as a possession, a work of art for the male gaze.” While not featured in this first chapter, it also includes physical modification to the whims of a patriarchal society, which, while fun for some, is not fun for everyone!
Special thanks to Brentwood for being inspired by my writing, brainstorming this continuation into the world of Artist’s Masterpiece, Dollhood, and plenty of other tales. Its a singular joy to collaborate with BW and explore not a native to this strange culture, but a complete outsider, ensnared in fabric and expectations.
Ascension in the East
Emily Nguyen is a ballet dancer in Manchester. When the entire Sukhothai royal family is wiped out in a terrorist attack she doesn’t even notice. She perhaps should. As the next in line to the throne of the Sukhothai Empire, that attack will change her life beyond all imagining…
The second story by myself and Dave Potter.
An Artist's Masterpiece
This is a collaboration between myself and Dave Potter, revolving around a Neo-Victorian culture that expects its women to trammel themselves as a status symbol. In this world, certain men expect even more, they appreciate surgical transformation, where the question of consent is not even asked. Not for the faint of heart.
Our story is set in the same Alternative Britain as Dave’s The Tale of Anastasia, Doll Wife, and Alison Becomes a Lady of Leisure. However, whilst they are all set in the latter half of the 20th century, this takes place in the middle of the 21st. Therefore, technology has advanced and with it the possibilities to modify and control wives and companions, and this story aims to reflect this in the full.
In this tale a young woman is tricked by her family and her suitor, to become a docile wife when she wants nothing more than to receive a higher education, a rarity for women in this culture. Watch as she descends step-by-step farther into this ruse, before things get truly interesting.
Quint Boss
A commissioned story for Gammatelier, a sequel to a story by Pozzo.
The new manager is bossy and demanding, but she is also completely limbless and devoid of a head! For Part 2, this time around we see the morning after through Karen’s eyes… or in her shoes… or whatever! Can these two stumble into something more than a one-night stand?
I returned to the challenge of writing a deafblind character, this time with just a touch of sci-fi, and far fewer limbs. I wanted to make Karen’s cool exterior and lack of expression in the original story a limited facade of a strong, no-nonsense, yet insecure woman. The romance aspects are also a challenge for me, but I hope that I learned a few things in Life Together.

Ysrii the Dalsur
A commissioned story set in Demon-Man’s World of Belial.
A young dalsur (a breed of armless dark elves raised for slavery) follows her Master into an underground harem in modern, metropolitan Ondora, and is unwittingly led into a life of use and abuse as a limbless futa toy for the well-to-do… and the other dalsur.
More information on Dalsur can be found at Demon-Man’s guide. The epilogue is loosely based on an illustration by Gammatelier.
Please note, this story includes themes of violence, sadism, and abuse not shown on-screen in my previous works.
A Holsom Women's Social
The first entry in the Holsom saga/series by Slothargy sets the stage of a community (and country) that is all at once like some fading image of 1950s New England, and something slick and shiny from the future, cast through the prism of Ira Levin’s Stepford, and a step beyond.
Take a read and see what you think, as the newly-wed Cherry is escorted to her neighborhood’s Women’s Social so she can mix and mingle with the other women of good standing. With each word, Slothargy (and myself as editor and sounding board) twists that classic idyllic image of male dominance into something new and original.
The Book of Milk
Part 3 of the Anything Co. series
This story by Sador is a spiritual successor to A Report from the Farm, and I was heavily involved in the brainstorming and editing. Sador was inspired by Pony’s slow transformation in Report and created a tale I think outshines its predecessor in many ways. I’m honored as always to inspire others by my twisted tales, and Sador was gracious enough to let me post the story here in its entirety.
Please consider this story loosely canonical.
