About the pages
Additional context on the pages. Links open in the viewport browser above. All photography and design by me.
“Post-Apocalyptica” is a sequential art microfiction work illustrated with photographs I took while camping overnight at the unmaintained, crumbling parts of the Great Wall of China as part of my study abroad program in Beijing in 2011. It’s got a bleak and solarpunk vibe.
Exhibit showing physical, hand-bound, crafted editions of digital fanfic. I created this series to question what media we consider transient and what media we consider worthy of archiving, and why we consider that a physical edition of a digital good reifies an idea.
Utterance pages are collaborative round robin works. atashi and I alternated on each sentence and improvised in real-time. Each work was completed in one session.
Read the individual works:

Hand-coded pronoun usage page. Includes audio files of pronoun pronunciation that play on click.
Page includes multiple pronoun sets. By changing the class of a set to "current," I can show or hide sets depending on my mood.
I developed this as an easy-to-update pronoun badge that would accommodate my genderfluidity.
