Cute compilation. Writing / comic / artistic skill varies greatly between stories. I even recognized some of the art from Filthy Figments.
I may have gotten my expectations up thinking that these would be longer form. Oh well. A quick injection of happy queer romance does the body good.
Notable stories for me included "This is Not A Metaphor" (struck a chord with me, and even used the archaic "androgyne" with which I refer to myself) and "Punch Drunk Love" (flawed and interesting characters).
