Red Heron is a Writer

I'm not an author, because authors get published. I didn't make that rule up. But people think that.

This site is not monetized; it's a way for him to give away things I wrote for free (usually because I got told they aren't publishable).

And: this site is ultra-simple because marketing isn't needed for freebies.

Is There Smut?

Sorry to dash your hopes and dreams, but no: I don't post that for free.

Why not? Because kids can access this website, and as a parent I can't do that.

But yes, there are some smutty scenes in other works that won't appear here.

Is Any of this AI-Generated?

Absolutely not. Even if the AI generated something objectively better than my stories, I wouldn't use it.

AI is great for research, collecting thoughts together, and reviewing things for intellectual criteria. Beyond that, I refuse to use it.

Even if AI suddenly could create something worthy, I would never claim it as my own.

All work on this little subdomain is my original creation.

• Forthcoming. None are yet offered, because they're still awaiting sufficient rejection.

Why Free?

These works don't fit well into marketing pigeonholes. As such, channel marketing is no more than a vacuum for sucking up resources, where these works are concerned. And, because I'm not working on being rich or famous, and because I genuinely write for the pleasure of writing, I put the things I write that can't be marketed onto this site.
