lb_leeRogan: since we run ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
pluralstories, maybe you wonder what multi media we actually own! So here’s a list. All of these we own at least in part because it gives us happy multi feelings. (And we use the term extremely broadly, encompassing soulbonding, spirit marriage, exploring geographies of story and the imagination, and other stuff.) Things labeled “private print” are things we either printed, folded, and stapled from ebook, or collated and formatted and bound from online posts.
COMICS:
* the Tale of One Bad Rat, by Bryan Talbot. An abused girl with a strange link to Beatrix Potter runs away and with her (first flesh and blood, then imaginary) pet rat to find safety and healing in the Lakes District.
* Barbarous, by Ananth Hirsh and Yuka Ota. A wizard school dropout and a monstrous familiar work as superintendents pf an old brownstone. Vol. 4 involves getting sent to the realm of symbols where they have to deal with the selves they don’t want to be.
* Johnny Public, #1-7, by Wendy Strang-Frost and Nick Frost. A multiple has a group meeting because one of them has figured it out and wants to stage a coup. Private print.
* Something Terrible, by Mayday Trippe. Autobiographical comic about dealing with sexual assault as a child with the help of Batman.
* Giant, by reapersun. In the world of art, Michelangelo’s David falls in love with a graffiti mural. Private print.
* "Net Dreams," by Phil Foglio. Short porno comic where three cyberpunk girls fall in lust in shared dreams. From the comic Xxxenophile.
* War Zone, by Sam Medlock. Native teenager attempts suicide, attacked by spirits, and reality unravels like a cheap sock until his community comes to rescue him.
PROSE FICTION:
* The Book of Autonomancy, by One Faraday and Ronin Ellis of the Desired Constellation. Horror novel about a DID multi who works as a house exorcist fighting entities that feed on the distress caused by being triggered. Private print.
* The Second Coming of Joan of Arc (which also includes "Louisa May Incest") by Carolyn Gage. Radical lesbian feminist plays about Joan of Arc as an angry, razormouthed butch lesbian teenager looking back on her death and unwitting canonization, and Louisa May Alcott falling in love with Jo from Little Women, only for it to end in tragedy.
* “Two Heads are Better Than One”, “the Mick of Time,” and “Post Toast” by Spider Robinson. Sci-fi short stories about barflies saving the world thanks to group telepathy, and Robinson talking to his fictional self-insert about the books he’s in and the fandom on Usenet... which in real life, he then posted on Usenet.
* Stardance, by Spider Robinson. A zero-gravity dance group saves the world by becoming a bodyswapping hive mind/group marriage.
* the Genocidal Healer, by James White. Alien doctors in space dealing with theodicy and crushing guilt in a giant space hospital where all the Diagnosticians are multi by choice.
PROSE NONFICTION:
* Oneselves, by Louis Baldwin. Thumbnail sketches of a couple dozen American medical multi cases from 1791-1981.
* Spirit Marriage, by Megan Rose. Book of interviews, personal stories, and historical overview of people’s intimate relationships with gods, spirits, lwa, etc. written by a practitioner.
* Motherwit, by Diane Mariechild. Old feminist guidebook on headspace, spirit guides, self-hypnosis, etc.
* Knocking from the Inside: Breaking Free from Mental Imperialism, by Jimmy Dunson. Zine about mad pride, anarchism, religion, and treating your madness and selves well.
* Be Gay, Do Crime, by the Mary Nardini Gang. Anarchist mystical zine of death, rebirth, madness, and dancing through it all.
* "Searching for Catherine Auger: the Forgotten Wife of the Wihtikow (Windigo)," by Nathan D. Carlson. Real-life ethnography of a woman who survived her husband getting possessed by a wihtikow and being killed for it in 1897. Private print.
* “We Other Fairies,” “Anima Ex Machina: Meatsuit Realness and Transformative Reenchantment,” and various blog posts by Xavia Publius. Essays about cyborg possession, the ethics of memes, and the ontology of theater performance. Private print.
??? MISCELLANEOUS:
* my heart beats in seismic waves, by Sara Makiya and Sara Paige. Silver-edged poetry zine about the embrace of the self.
* Paprika, directed by Satoshi Kon. Japanese animated movie about a multi therapist saving the world after her organization’s dream-travel machine is stolen and used for nefarious purposes.
* Stop Dying, You Were Very Expensive!, by AKWAEKE. Music album about being a god with spirit lovers and partying.
Also our own work, obviously.
