Prysmcat's Older Short Stories

While my strengths lie firmly on the side of novel-length or ongoing episodic fantasy, I do make occasional forays into shorter fiction, with varying levels of success (the dates should give you some idea just how sporadic it is). Often, though not always, that consists of explicit erotica; it's fun to play with, not something I take all that seriously, and isn't an enormous time commitment. (Here's my personal take on that subject, on my blog.) Unlike some of the erotica out there, unless it says Caution, I promise the good guys win in the end and there's a happy ending.

I wasn't certain whether to include these on the site or not. They're old, and I don't consider them at all representative of my current writing. Some include themes that I'm no longer comfortable with. However, I did write them, and have previously offered them in other places under the nom de plume of Tenebra. Whether I'm calling myself Tenebra, Shaharazad, or Prysm/prysma/prysmcat/prysma-kitty, or even occasionally by my "real" name, they're still all coming from the same place. I'm not going to disown and abandon them, and so, they're here - even if they are tucked away in a back corner!

Comments, opinions, and questions are always welcome and eagerly sought, I'd love to hear from you! (After all, that's my only payment for this, and it doesn't cost you anything, right?)

Please note: this section of the site includes some explicit sexual content. If you are legally a minor in your location or you don't want to read "that kind of stuff" then you need to leave immediately. If you continue, you are confirming that you are an adult in your country and that you are not offended by adult content.
