Hello and welcome!
I'm Thomas, aspiring author and scrap metal enthusiast based in Alberta, Canada. I like writing one-off speculative fiction and fantasy stories about pirates, wizards, dragons, and superheroes, with occasional experimentations in murder mysteries, historical fiction, and short stories. I post new chapters every Monday, both here and on my Substack.

Point A To Proxima Centauri B
Speculative Fiction, Semi-Dystopian, Sci-Fi Setting
PATPCB follows Mal, a young mother who plans to leave all her earthly problems behind and start a new life on the far-off planet of Proxima Centauri B. Obstacles range from price of admission to the raging war standing between her and the shuttle, but chief among them is the responsibility of finding Tai-Song, a childhood friend who has mysteriously vanished in the chaos. In the mad search to find him, long-held secrets are revealed and her oldest wounds are reopened, forcing her to confront her true reasons for fleeing Earth.

Hello June!
Finally, a new milestone: storiesbythomas.yorniq.xyz has reached over 3000 visits! Very exciting debut numbers, and I'm so grateful for the reception so far as we go into the final stretch. Thank you to everyone who tunes in every week, and to all the new readers who have recently taken a chance on me — in the past seven months you all have treated me extremely well, and I'm hopeful that you'll continue to enjoy my work as I develop. As always, a very special thank you to @hannahcll, @mx-time-bunny, @harleyquillao3, and @pantylace for reblogging posted chapters and helping to get more eyes on my work!
But all good things must come to an end, and PATPCB will be wrapping up on June 15th, 2026. My next story, which is sitting in my WIPs folder under the name 'Puck's No Good Terrible Very Bad Day(s)', still needs a significant amount of revising and editing, so the earliest that it will publish is Sept-Oct 2027. It may take longer, but I have every intention on continuing to publish my work online, so please be patient! I will still be semi-active on social media in the meantime, so no one will be deprived of my stunning commentary on movies that no one else has seen; feel free to come and talk to me! After the last chapter is posted, I will probably write up one last monthly update, which will outline what the posting schedule will look like going into my next project, what I plan to do differently, and maybe a teaser blurb of dubious quality/accuracy. Stay tuned, I love you.
In between updates, you can find me on Tumblr @d00m-d4ys or on Bluesky @d00md4ys.bsky.social, and if you have the cash to spare, it would mean so much to me if you joined my Patreon! Because all donations will be split between me and my chosen causes, you will also be supporting a Gazan family in need and the Kanien’kéha community in addition to an independent author. Even if you choose not to join my Patreon, please consider donating to one of these causes independently: if you have even $5 to spare, you have the ability to make a difference in someone’s life.
If financial support isn’t a viable option, don’t sweat it! If you like this story, help me grow my audience by sharing the links and telling your friends about Point A To Proxima Centauri B, or make my day by filling the #patpcb tag with your theories, fanart, and longform essays. Word-of-mouth is the best advertising there is, and it’s absolutely free!
Thank you all again for your support, and I hope you continue enjoying the story. Happy reading!
