Hello there!
Welcome to my corner of the Internet! I’m Daphne⭐ (pronounced “Daphne Star”), and this page is the hub for all of my creative efforts. It’s updated sporadically, typically as projects reach major milestones, but sometimes just because I have something to say. Please have a look around!

Genderpunk 2077
Welcome to Sidereal City, where your gender determines your path in life. Which of the twelve genders might you be sorted into—perhaps you’d be a hard-nosed Leo, or a mercurial Libra? Or would you slip through cracks in the system and end up ungendered, lacking the licenses necessary to participate in everyday life? Follow the…

A Little Bit About Me
Eventually I’ll have a little bit more to say about myself here, and maybe even a picture that isn’t just my star logo. For now, the best way to learn more about me is to look at my Mastodon profile.

Now that I’ve poured my free time into a particular project for a couple of months, I’m excited to announce it publicly! It’s a JRPG about unearthing your past and changing, made in RPG Maker MV with stock…

Weighted Blanket
Weighted Blanket(a poem, I suppose) I dredge up the ruins of my own past and sift through its remains quite often nowadays. Where once I feared drowning in those emotional waters, now I swim through them as if I were born and raised in them. In a way, I suppose I was. Still, there’s much…

I Passed A Girl
I Passed A Girl(a poem, I suppose) I passed a high school girl on the sidewalk as I was walking today. I glanced at her a couple of times as I walked by; curious, gently probing looks. She was pretty in the way youth is pretty, and she didn’t glance back at me, but she…

The Elephant In The Room
Hello Starlings! I haven’t updated in a while, have I? Last December I posted about the first draft of a new short story, and there hasn’t been much content here since, save a Trans Day of Visibility poem. Most of my creative energy has been going to my serial fiction Family of Me, which you…

New Aquarius: Short Story In Progress
Hello Starlings! Remember that sci-fi short story I mentioned I was working on? The first draft is now finished, which means the project actually feels real and I can write about it! I’m hoping to wrap it up by the end of the year, but who knows how realistic that is. As with WitchNet, I…

Frustration
Dear Starlings, Writing can be frustrating. A couple of days ago I started brainstorming story ideas because I wanted to post something before the end of the month. I want to post something every month here—I didn’t mention that, did I? That’s a thing I’m trying to do here. As I’m bouncing some ideas around,…

My First Halloween
Starlings, I dressed up for Halloween for the first time this year. Well, not the first first time, but the first time as a woman. It wasn’t even my first time wearing a dress as part of a costume, but it’s different when you present feminine full-time. Before transition, wearing a dress was the focal…

Hello Starlings!
Hi there! Since publishing my novella, I’ve been working on building up my online presence, filling in the gaps I left as I focused on my writing. One of those gaps has been coming up with a good opener for my blog posts and profile, which by extension meant coming up with a way to…
