''Guts and Sass'' deconstructs many popular fantasy tropes in an attempt to write a story with all the tropey goodness, without the sickly sweet stickiness of stereotypes. ''Guts and Sass'' begins when semi-suicidal veteran of the Colombian drug war Hannah Roverton begins making dream friends with an anthropomorphic body of water, then unceremoniously gets herself killed, catalyzing her literal transportation to a [[Magical Land]]. She finds herself on a ship of pirates on a mission, discovers there is an invading [[The Horde|horde]], and tends to think she's been kidnapped by a bunch of rabid D&D fans. ''Guts and Sass'' explores several lifeways in depth, including feudal agriculturalist monarchy, hunter-gatherer, and semi-domestic pastoralists. The story also explores third gender, gender crossing, and transgender, as well as a variety of sexualities. |
