Reindeer be like…

Santa’s core eight reindeer and rookie sensation Rudolph are late for their annual Christmas run. And the big man is not pleased. SANTA CLAUS: Alright, this is unacceptable! Where in the holy holly are my core eight? DONDER: I’m here, Santa. SC: You’re always here, Donder. Like I’m really gonna make it around the whole […]

I, Candy: Remastered for 2023.

I, Candy (A work of Disney Fairies fan fiction, originally written in 2021.) By J.L. Love Being a sugar fairy is wonderful, glorious, wondrous. I mean, flying all over Pixie Hollow, already the sweetest place for a fairy to live, making everything even sweeter? Well, it’s just about the best feeling in all the world, […]

A story about africa.

Map of the continent of Africa. She’s trying to get all her nations in order. There are so many that it’s sometimes very difficult to keep track of them all.

Peter Pan and Wendy: A “Dark” “Retelling” of a classic.

And when I say “dark,” I’m not talking about the screenplay or the script. I mean that the movie is so damn dark, you can’t even see what’s going on for most of the movie’s runtime. Disney’s latest updated live-action, politically-corrected remake, is everything the 1953 original isn’t: dark, dull, and would be the perfect […]

I. Am. Beat Boy.

It’s here. My third collection of beats, flips, and reimaginings of music we all love. Well, I love it, and I know you will too.

We Have A Ghost: Or does it have us?

What we have here is We Have A Ghost, the newest supernatural dramedy to come down the Netflix pike. The trailers will paint this as a rollicking comedy with a kid and his ghost buddy taking both the internet and real world by storm. And part of it is. But too much of the movie […]

Velma: Can y’all just leave her alone?

Spoiler alert: it’s not. Gen Xers like myself are sick and tired of the later generations coming along and mining our classics to turn them into vulgar, edgy, (wannabe) irreverent new shows. I mean, did we need an updated version of Archie in Riverdale with murders, promiscuity and angst? The Harley Quinn from the old […]

J.L. Love

…for all your insurance needs.Specifically, if you need insurance that you’ll laugh and/or cry while reading my stories.

Pronounced “zinc-see.”

He looks me in the eyes, not saying anything for a long time. Finally, he speaks. “Who are you?” I smile. “I am me. Just like you are you.” “True. We are all who we are. But what would you like me to call you?” “If you feel the need to paste a label on […]
