To abide by laws and regulations, Patreon may be adding sales tax in some jurisdictions for some patrons, starting July 1. In most cases, the tax will be only on a part of your pledge, if any. Many European jurisdictions already are taking out VAT.

While I sat thumbing through a salon-centric magazine, another woman approached. "I'm Layla," she said. "Sam, right?" I nodded. She had to talk loud for me to hear her, and I didn't feel like shouting back. She said, "Your Mom says you might want a mani-pedi."
I glanced at Mom across the ro...

Angela Rasch's newest from DopplerPress will likely drop this week. It tells the story of Angel, a star soccer player back in the Midwest, who moves to Texas and gets an education in the state religion: American Football. All while getting mistaken for a girl!

“So, your mom doesn’t know you’re experimenting with going out in public as a girl?” Rory asked.
“No.” I winced.
“And she’s not expecting you home until later?”
“No, I’m usually out till eleven on Thursday, game night. I don’t have a curfew s...

The walk from the bank to the restaurant turned surreal when I realized that every guy we met coming toward us looked at nothing but my chest. I wasn’t even showing cleavage, still wearing my pullover t-shirt. Oh. No bra. I could feel them there, out there. I must be jiggling like two sumo wres...

I had no business being in an industrial park riding my sister’s bike, so in a sense, I had to share the blame for everything that happened.
But that’s a kind of cosmic view, zen-universe sort of bullshit. I just needed to get to the store over on Van Nuys quickly so I coul...

Mom did the whole, "I'm disappointed in you," thing when she picked me up. Mostly with her eyes and the tone of her voice. "You aren't hurt at all?" she asked.

"Not intentionally!"

“Well, not all the time,” he admitted. “But I kinda sorta figured it out. But I thought your name used to be Dannie.” He made a motion with his hand. “Which could be a boy or a girl’s name.”

I dithered as to whether to deposit my check via ATM or go in and give it to a teller. On the one hand, if I used the machine, I wouldn’t have to deal with anyone who might notice that my ID didn’t match my appearance. On the other hand, depositing with a human meant the money wo...

Some of my friends found me during the commotion. Walter Adkins, Skip Gordon and I had been friends since grade school, probably because we were all outsiders of sorts. Plus we rode the same bus. Walter was a light-skinned, freckled, red-haired, black kid. With glasses. Yeah. Even le...

I had no idea what to talk about. Bringing up the subject most on my mind — my having been turned into a girl! — seemed, well, crazy. Getting a picture taken with an antique camera didn’t usually change anyone’s sex. Was I crazy for thinking it had?

The burger shop on the corner was a Fatburger, an L.A. Chain that served enormous burgers by default but you could get a more reasonably-sized one. I definitely did not want to try to eat a half-pound burger while wearing a corset.

Mom’s plans wouldn’t have her home before late so I had plenty of time to get out of the stuff Marjorie had dressed me in. Once in our apartment, I went directly to my room, threw the big green hat on my bed and kicked the low heel shoes I was wearing toward my closet.

She shook her head and pulled me against her. “You...
