Stories of found family in faraway worlds.

We were the kids raised on Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. Now we’re looking for fellowship on this wild, uncharted planet they call earth.

Welcome, friend.

This is our cozy place to belong in outer space.

I’m Julia, one of those strange creatures who identifies more with fictional characters than the people around her. I write scifi stories in anime-coded settings that are full of quirky casts you want to be friends with.
We have coffee, hot chocolate, and a wall full of books, so grab a seat or curl up on the floor, because you’re welcome here. 

Julia Naus

Wannabe cosplayer, anime nerd, and writer of faraway worlds

This is for the girl who loves things
just a little too much…

And the readers finding family in the stars.

You’ve found your people <3

The nerds,

who feel like no one understands them.

The uncertain,

adults who are still trying to find their place.

The readers,

craving community beyond the pages of their books.

The fangirls,

who want to see themselves in outer space.

Grab a snack before lift-off?

Stories and food are both good for the soul. So I combined them—and made a menu of my favorite books! Some are a little salty, some kind of sweet. But each have their own flavor of adventure.

Or if you prefer something a little more ghostly…

Visit a sentient house being attacked by ghosts, in my short story Ghost in the Garden. Published along with 13 other authors in an anthology full of whimsy and wonder, and worlds you want to go live in.

Join my little found family!
