Old, Far Off Unhappy Things – Things that Used To Be

In 2022 I started writing ‘Far Off Unhappy Things’ at a pivotal moment in my life. I was homeless and living in what used to be a university library now retooled into a commune. I was at a crossroads and had no idea what to do with my life and decided to write a long-form webnovel to come to terms with the turmoil inside of me.

FOUT proved the catalyst for my entire life. I got a writing job on a video game, that became writing jobs , that in turn became my own game development studio. Publishing opportunities for short stories arose around every corner. People came into my life, people left. I met the love of my life. I moved into a new house. I honed my writing skills to levels I couldn’t have dreamt of back in 2022. And suddenly Far Off Unhappy Things no longer accurately reflected who I am, felt cumbersome and ill-written.

I decided to start over, which is something you’re allowed to do if you’re just posting stories on the internet. On this page are the old FOUT stories, archived for people interested in them.
