This month we are celebrating u/Jay_Pederson

Jay_Pederson has been an impressively regular writer here for a couple of years now, as well as contributing in discussions. Their stories are often funny and fantastical, but they can’t be pigeon-holed that easily, trying their hand at all sorts of different genres and styles through regular prompts and our Fun Trope Friday weekly feature. But one thing remains true: that their stories are always enjoyable. And because of how prolific they are, there are plenty of them to be had. You can find more on their archive subreddit r/JayPederson, which I’d recommend you check out.

Want to congratulate this month's Spotlight recipient? Have questions you're dying to ask them? Please do so below in the comments!

Congrats on your spotlight /u/Jay_Pederson

Read u/Jay_Pederson’s most recent story:

[WP] Your son just bonded with a dragon - which is highly illegal since you are not of noble origin. However, there is nothing that could break the bond a 60ft dragon willingly engaged.

Their most upvoted Stories:

[WP] “Babe, I have question,” said your wife. “sure go on, honey,” I said, reading my book. “Would you still love me if I was a Orc?” “Is this a trick question?” “No” “are we pretending I don’t know you’re an orc or……?” “Wait you already knew?”

[WP] Convinced that you intentionally wronged her, the witch cursed you, so that you would be as hideous on the outside as you are on the inside. You are actually a rather nice person, the witch is just an asshole, so all she did was give you a glow up.

[WP] You were a wanderer mage amongst the centuries, wrote diaries long lost in time, lived to see kingdoms come and fall, while becoming a professor you found out that people use... "incantations" and "staffs" to cast their spells.
