Content Warnings
The Hero’s Assistant (Preview/Demo version) contains heavy incestuous themes dealing with an adopted son, his adopted father, and an alternate dimension version of his adopted father who expresses sexual interest in him. There are also implications of mind control. Future parts will expand upon these themes and will only get worse :). The main character is a trans man who uses multi-gendered language to describe his genitals and is implied to have some bottom dysphoria.
I participated in the Hot Wet Queer Summer Jam, one of the few book-specific (let alone nsfw!) jams on itch.io and one I was very excited about because some of my favorite authors are on there. If you don’t know what a jam is, know it’s a time-limited bout of creative chaos, typically with a set of rules. Although this jam was rather long (three months, some jams are 1-3 days mind you), I still submitted with only 2 minutes left on the clock because I couldn’t stop writing.
I had to stop editing and only submit 36,000 words instead of the full 50,000+ I’d actually written. That will be quickly corrected but in the meantime, I figured this would serve as an extremely generous preview to the real thing.
Let’s hope I don’t get dungeon’d from the content but I tried my best to not say anything direct (fascist regime and credit card censorship bullshit, ya know)! Head over to my itch.io if you’d like your very own PDF/EPUB copy of The Hero’s Assistant and let me know what you think.
Exciting news: There will also be a sequel! How do I know? Well, I’ve already written another 10,000 for it on top of the 50,000+ for the jam. Oops.
