Area of Effect

"You know you make the world a special place, just by being you."

This concept's been bouncing around in my head for some time. I want to put it out there.
Area of Effect is a group of friends from all walks of life, species and orientations. Its name comes from "area of effect" skills in video games, the idea being to "widen your circle of friends".
I see AoE as an anthology, since I can't represent every viewpoint myself.
One of the main characters is AJ, a coyote who's been thrown out of his church for his "radical" views. Also, I suspect, for being trans in a town not quite ready for trans people. (Yes, he is somewhat of a self-insert. No, I'm not sorry.)
Several books have influenced my thinking, including Sara Miles' "Take This Bread", Chris Steadman's "Faitheist" and Brennan Manning's "Ragamuffin Gospel". Also, that one song from the Land Before Time movies: "we need all sorts to make a world."
I'd like to dedicate this project to two special friends: the late Cecil Roberts and "Friar" Don Swearingen. The first AoE story is in the works.
God bless.

Today's the Paul Wilbur concert, then I'll start typing the story tomorrow(?) I wonder if attending with my ear infection is such a good idea.
