If you want to see some of Dorrie’s more personal work, then check out her “geek retrospective,” pieces on Dorrie’s Stories, where she writes short essays on storytelling in some of her favorite movies, television shows, and video games.
Her favorite genres in fiction are horror and dark comedy, and some of her favorite voices to act out are creepy little girls and nerdy women with hints of spunk. When Dorrie isn’t working, she enjoys playing JRPGS, listening to 80s new wave music, and hanging out with her chunky cat, Pepper.
Like many teenagers, there's a lot about Daniel Meadows' life that's out of his control. For example, having to start in a new school district for his freshman year of high school thanks to his dad's new job. Inside the realm of his control, however, is the decision to try a brand-new sport purely to impress a girl.
But the day of tennis tryouts proves far more fateful than Dan ever could have imagined, when a failed attempt by Truck-kun and the powers that be to kill him and transport his consciousness to a fantasy realm leaves him on Earth with miraculous abilities instead.
Stuck on his boring home planet with magical powers to harness and learn, Dan finds himself in a unique situation. Will he use his powers for greatness? Will he abuse them? Or will he simply use them to become the greatest tennis player ever just to chase the girl of his dreams?
Who knows? After all, it’s freshman year and he’s got a long way to go.
This slice-of-life tennis LitRPG serves up progression, sports, and fun in one hilarious series.

Tilda Quickthatch gave up adventuring years ago and retired to small-town Briarhaven as the local tavern wench. But now the past she's worked so hard to keep hidden has come calling for her.
Its messengers? A group of misfit teens who insist she train them to pick up her mantle... or else. But what starts as simple "roll" play soon turns deadly when their antics attract the attention of a fearsome necromancer who never gave up searching for Tilda. He swoops in with a sinister offer: exchange the powerful artifact she stole nearly a decade ago for her former partner's life.
Now it seems this halfling rogue-turned-barkeep has no choice but to dust off her daggers, gather her pity of a party, and set out on her highest stake quest yet.
What could possibly go wrong? What could possibly go right?!
When Life Gives You Legends is a hilariously heart-pounding fantasy where being a hero means breaking a few stereotypes—and possibly a tavern chair or two. If you enjoy witty banter, magical mayhem, and rooting for the underdog, then you’ll love Luna Ryder’s outrageous adventure.

Trapped in a bloody, merciless nightmare, Duke only has one goal -- to survive. And in order to survive, he must play the game. He must win the game. And to do that, he must become the most cruel, most ruthless monster of them all.

It is an undeniable fact that good things come in small packages. More often than not, it is necessary to trim the fat in order to bring what really matters to the forefront. Having extra bulk may seem like a good idea, but in reality it is merely a crutch that will one day become a hindrance, as it is no substitute for personality nor ability. Indeed, often times it is the small things in life that brighten up our daily lives and constantly remind us exactly why we do the things we do.
However, it is important to keep an open mind, for while bigger is not always better, there are also times when it is. This holds especially true when it comes to hopes and dreams, which have been known to require a suitably large container from time to time. And while dreaming big could potentially lead to massive disappointment, it is also possible to reach for the stars while aiming at the moon.
These are the truths that one tiny woman with a gigantic aspiration is about to discover.
DISCLAIMER: This is a spin-off/side story of Everybody Loves Large Chests, which takes place during the events of Volume 7: Goroth.
At Hammerhead Station, the grim, gritty edge of civilization, survival is a daily grind. Resources need mining, enemies demand defeat, and allies are always in need of rescue. It’s just another day on the frontier - where every battle could be the last.

Little did she know it was only a prototype, barely a prelude of where this unprecedented detour would lead her. Though Fizzy is eager to see what the Original Artificer has been up to since her disappearance, she maintains a healthy dose of paranoia regarding ‘Katya’ person’s true motives.

Just the faintest suggestion that Boxxy might still be alive was enough to make her core buzz with anticipation and glee. Unfortunately, the task of getting to it has not been made simpler, and if all she needs to do to accomplish it is wipe out an indigenous civilization or two, then so be it.
