What the Heck is FREAKSPOTTERS!

Hey there! SO glad you asked. In short, FREAKSPOTTERS is a for-fun, free-to-read webnovel that I work on between other projects. Genre-wise, it's best described as a sapphic supernatural comedy that occasionally gets serious. The tagline I often use is "Quirky, campy, supernatural, and sapphic." :)

(Left to right: Jane Cardinal, Helena Zhang, Camilla "Cami" Wilde, Rachel Fernweh, and Olivia Ramirez)

In a Nutshell:

Five girls start a club for hunting down the strange and unusual. Turns out supernatural entities are not only real--they want to take over town! Rampant lesbianism, loss of humanity (or the realization you never had any), and similar shenanigans ensue. Maybe the real supernatural encounters were the friends (and girlfriends!) they made along the way.

Recurring themes in FREAKSPOTTERS are pretty heavily based on what I went through when I was younger, and some stuff I went through when writing the early chapters. In short, a lot of it revolves around this deep need to belong... and how that can be taken advantage of, or twisted into making people do bad things. To be transparent, a lot of that is also through a neurodiverse lens; I was always desperate to find "my people," but due to being autistic, I was very trusting and often misinterpreted the motives of others. Some other themes here are found family, gender dysphoria, and some stuff around cults, body horror, and some undead class traitorss

Of course, I'm also a total sap, there will be found family, and there will be deconstruction and reconstruction done in equal measure. Also-also, I like laughs, so it GENERALLY won't take itself too seriously.

Cool, Where Can I Read It?

So glad you asked! FREAKSPOTTERS is available:

They'll be getting their own page very soon, through my OCs + Worldbuilding Section!

What's its schedule?

That's... a funny story.

FREAKSPOTTERS used to be, more or less, entirely improvised. It was just a quirky comedic ensemble shenanigans type of story, after all. Then, foolishly, I decided to care: I wanted the story's plot to actually go somewhere, and for there to be actual stakes, and all of these things that the story wasn't initially going to be.

This has slowed down production consdierably, as now, I actually want the plot to make sense. I've actually gone through and even manually edited out any plot holes that I was worried about, and tried to tidy up some worldbuilding details that I worried were too confusing, because my autistic brain had gone ham with somehting that I realized others might struggle to keep up with.

I do recognize the irony: the story of an autistic queer person struggling to fit in was modified so it'd better fit in.

Anyways, FREAKSPOTTERS will update when it updates. Follow it on any of the platforms above, and you'll be notified when new chapters drop!

The Factions and Allegiances of FREAKSPOTTERS!

  • The Freakspotters:

  • Our titular heroes! The FREAKSPOTTERS are a handful of college kids who, mostly against their will, were awakened as or turned into supernatural beings. Their job is to help the Factions take--erm, fix Walder, and make it a sanctuary for supernatural beings. Started as a college club, now part of a massive conspiracy... hey, maybe it'll look good on their resumes, post-graduation. While initially relatively on board with having cool new powers and helping our supernaturals seek acceptance, they soon get the sense things are not what they seem...

  • The Fey:

  • Strange, elven entities whose collective origins and motives are unknown. Most of them are tall, off-putting, and yet charming and charismatic. It is mildly infuriating. They have a fondness for humans, who they see as very malleable and easy to work with. Fey thrive off making humans do their bidding, and having them around to prank or seduce. Because of this, they want to continue interacting with humans. Also, they promise that MOST of them don't steal babies anymore. One of the three "Factions" who have been trying to take Walder for several years.

  • The Vampires:

  • We all know vampires, bloodsucking fiends they are. Of course, their abilities and weaknesses vary heavily, as the original strain of vampirism has since mutated into dozens--if not hundreds--of separate "types." Some will burn in daylight, others sunbathe for fun. Some can punch through concrete and turn into mist, others are knocked over by a stiff breeze. All that unites them is a thirst for blood... and because of this, they also want Walder as a vampire sanctuary, where they'll be able to feed whenever they wish. They're one of the three major "Factions."

  • The Witches:

  • The third of the three major "Factions" trying to take Walder, the witches are... a bit harder to describe. Essentially, they STARTED as humans who just happened to wield unnatural powers, but generations of magic have more or less rewritten their DNA. For goodness' sake, MOTHMAN was a witch! They can look like anything. Of course, witches have roots in the human world, and for that reason, they'd love to claim Walder as a safe space for the supernatural.

  • The Werewolves:

  • The newcomer faction. Fun fact, as most werewolves only transform once or twice a month, they generally blend into society pretty well. So much so, until super recently, they didn't have any interest in all this "Factions" nonsense at all! Of course, this time around, they're giving it the old college try. Why? Well, the other three reached out to them with no small amount of desperation. That said, they're pretty hands-off: they'll supply bodies when bodies are needed, but again, they're pretty good with what they have now. If things stay the same, cool. If Walder actually does become a supernatural paradise, also cool.

  • Walder:

  • Walder is a town in the Pacific Northwest with a history of supernatural shenanigans. A while back, they had the strange case of a cult shacking up in an abandoned barn by a lake. When it was found out this cult had been sacrificing the neighbourhood pets, they were promptly chased out. It's also been home to a few infamous mediums, rumours of vampires, and a couple mysterious missing persons cases. Being a small town between some larger ones, it's fairly humble: much of the population is students attending Woodshore University, an institution of little prestige but a fair deal of affordability and variety. It's also home to an abandoned waterpark, among other things.

  • The Children of The Lone Angel:

  • The cult in question! The Children of the Lone Angel are a group of fanatical humans who worship the fallen gods of the Witchlands, and believe that reviving these gods will give them magical powers and transform the world. They've recently had some kind of resurgence, and our Factions are less than pleased by this sudden competition.

  • Rainbow Wallace:

  • A lone witch who seems to have messy pasts with both the Factions and the Children of the Lone Angel. Gave Helena some superpowers so she can defend herself. Wants the best for everyone, but their idea of "best" is very different from everyone else's.

  • The Witchlands:

  • Another world, which most supernatural beings retreated to a couple of centuries back. A few disgruntled individuals remain, however, mostly because they like living alongside humans. Vampires, for example, find them much easier to prey on. Fey, meanwhile, just like messing with humans because humans aren't equipped to fight back.

  • Humanity:

    The non-magical populace of Walder and, y'know, Earth. They have NO idea what's going on, and that may be for the best.
