Team Chitin

A story about magical girls and the past

Written in my spare time, Team Chitin is available on Archive of Out Own and is currently 19 chapters long. Team Chitin is an ongoing story set in the world of Sleepless Domain, a popular webcomic, and is about how the past influences the characters of Team Chitin. Writing Team Chitin and interacting with SD’s friendly, tightknit community has continued to motivate my work on the story and to deliver something that its readers will enjoy.

The story follows two main characters, Alice Weimar and Lucy Wynne and follows their experiences as Lucy introduces Alice to the dangerous world of being a magical girl. A dodgy manager fallen from the spotlight, a team of girls with rumours of causing injury, and the attention of a branch of the city's government. History looms tall over the unfortunate Team Chitin as it refuses to lay buried and forgotten.

The aim of the project was to continue developing my writing skills while maintaining a steady weekly release schedule. Additionally it helped me gain experience writing within someone else's setting whilst expanding upon that setting in appropriate places.

To the same ends most of my other AO3 work was written for various fiction games (ficgames) hosted by the Sleepless Domain Discord server and as such many use Sleepless domain as their setting. These other, shorter stories can be found here.
