It's about to get fugly ... 

Kallie Grande-White never wanted to be a superhero, let alone a superhero who was known for sitting on her enemies. But after accidentally devouring her former-government-worker grandmother's radioactive doughnuts in a fit of sad rage, that's where Kallie found herself.

And now, the superhero schtick is nothing even close to the supermodel career Kallie longed for, but to make it worse, the Fat and Ugly Pride Parade has come to town, with an invitation for Fatgirl to be one of their leading grand marshals. Kallie's determined not to go, but that doesn't mean anything to the villain behind the mysterious packages of radioactive doughnuts that are transforming people into their literal worst fears -- an experience Kallie is all too familiar with herself. And when Sorra March, a leading figure in the Fugly Pride movement, is the next Alterant to show up in Cuttingham City, Kallie has no choice but to step up and save the day.

With Zeus and AB at her side, Kallie heads off to save the city from its biggest Alterant issue yet!

Fatgirl

Fatgirl Goes to the Fugly Pride Parade

The good, the flab, and the fake ...

Kallie Grande-White literally can't take this anymore -- even though she has to. As Fatgirl, her city's famous superhero, she's pretty sure she'd die of embarrassment if anyone else knew the truth.

So when local news anchorwoman Gynnifer Stills makes it her ultimate career goal to discover Fatgirl's real identity -- recruiting the unwitting help of some former Alterants, including Blake Turner -- Kallie is faced with overwhelming pressure, especially as AB doesn't offer much help, and even Zeus seems distracted ...

Can Kallie learn to manage her stress, or will she give into the pressure of all the lies she faces?

There are no greater lies than the ones we tell ourselves …

Perfect for anyone who's ever been disappointed by others and has a hard time believing in anything, even maybe themselves.

Fatgirl: Fake News is the next episode in C. S. Johnson's satirical science fiction superhero take on growing up, PC culture, and diet culture. Do-nut miss it!

Fatgirl: Fake News

A Head in the Rolls ... 

As one of the popular girls at her high school, Kallie Grande-White knows how to influence the crowds as her model-ready un-super self. But when a pair of campaigning politicians come to Cuttingham City in hopes of winning her endorsement, Kallie is quick to send them packing. Between all the attention from the Model Middle America show, social media, and the news, she's had enough people talking for her that she doesn't want to actually say anything -- and it doesn't help that she's not sure how John Weber and James Walter are really that different from each other ... 

When John and James both corner Zeus on his connection to Fatgirl's fansite, Kallie's had enough, and she's ready to push back -- until some familiar, radioactive doughnuts appear -- from a single donor, which could lead Kallie and AB directly to the person behind all the Alterants and their transformations. 

Can Kallie court the politicians' favor long enough to find out who is behind all the mysterious doughnut attacks in Cuttingham City -- and save Zeus from public scrutiny? Find out in this delicious episode of Fatgirl!

Fatgirl: Fat Chance

A former agent is retiring … and relocating to Florida …

Kallie once looked forward to the Spring Fling, the one dance allowed at Cuttingham City High School. It was too easy to dream of Blake Turner as her perfect date …

But now, thanks to her deal with Abuela-Blanca, they’re spending the weekend in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, attending the “retirement gala” for Zina “ZZ” Morozova -- one of the last and youngest inductions to the KGB. Once a harsh and ruthless killer, ZZ’s softened up a little in recent years, if only because she has enough blackmail and black market goods to support her -- including AB’s doughnut recipe.

Things are what they are, but the things take a turn for the worst when Kallie and AB infiltrate ZZ’s party, looking for answers -- only to discover the devastating truth about Kallie's mother ...

From award-winning author C. S. Johnson, Fatgirl is a serial, episodic work of fiction, with a blend of satire, superhero fiction, and contemporary genres.

Fatgirl: Spring Fling

What happens when a cop eats a radioactive doughnut?

Upon their return from a largely disappointing trip to Florida, Kallie and AB are both expecting a slow week.

However, their expectations are quickly subverted when Zeus asks Kallie for a favor, and AB finds out there are still more radioactive doughnuts out in the city -- and one's been eaten by none other than Officer Max Powers, the same man who'd helped Kallie the night of her Model Middle America audition.

And when Officer Powers becomes his greatest fear -- a man with nothing left to lose, wildly desperate to enact vengeance against his brother's killer -- Kallie and AB have new, unpleasant questions to answer: Why was he targeted? How is he connected to the other Alterants? Is there someone else out there with AB's stolen recipe?

If only they can get him back to his normal self first ...

Black Powers

We'll have a gay, old time ...

There's nothing worse than a long ride in the car with AB, or so Kallie thinks as they head off to the Fairview Mountain Rehab Center to pay a visit to Trevor Darlington. But once they arrive, she finds there are some things that are indeed worse than Abuela-Blanca's kami-nazi driving -- such as running into Azure, her fashion designer from Model Middle America.

Only he's not Azure -- or is he?

Maybe?

There's nothing "Azure" about the pasty-faced, non-makeup wearing man who shares Azure's face, any more than Kallie is truly "Arlanda." Kallie's more than certain it's a twin thing, even as he begs her to keep his truly devastating secret for fear of losing his job, his clout, and his reputation ...

But when he consumes a radioactive doughnut, Kallie has no room for hesitation, and she fears her promise suddenly just got a lot harder to keep ...

Azure Skies is episode 9 in C. S. Johnson's superhero satire serial, Fatgirl. You'll never look at doughnuts the same way after consuming this series!

Azure Skies

Love at first bite ...

Kallie -- as her super-sized, super-hero self -- has had a hard day, and literally the last thing she needs is to find out another Alterant is running loose. And when AB's Phi-ger goes off, she's hardly pleased.

But genuine worry starts to overtake her as this time, it's Zeus who's digested the radioactive doughnuts. If he's compromised, Zeus could easily reveal Fatgirl's true identity to the world, and what else could be his worst fear? Along with AB, Kallie races over to save him.

Only to be met with the shock of her life ...

Fatgirl: Lard Boy

Stunning and Brave ... 

For Fatgirl, everything has come down to this -- and it's more awful than even Kallie could've imagined.

With her dad held captive at the Darling Donut factory, Kallie and AB race to the scene. And while Kallie's too scared to do much more than follow AB's lead, she's left speechless as AB does the unthinkable: Consume one of her own radioactive doughnuts. 

But even that's not the most surprising event for the evening, as Kallie and AB are soon joined by several familiar faces, and more secrets are revealed. 

And then there's an even more devastating twist as Zeus arrives on the scene ...

Fatgirl: Finale, Part One

Sisters at heart ...

After a long, adventurous and exhausting spring break, Kallie's almost ready to go back to school just so she can forget about her mother, trouble with Azure, and especially everything that happened with Zeus.

But trouble never takes a break, especially when Kallie's certain AB's enemy is targeting her friends and turning them into Alterants -- and when Amory reaches out to Fatgirl over her website, Kallie fears the worst.

But her worst fears are nothing compared to Amory's ...

Fatgirl: White Privilege

Adversity is her strength ...

After locating the man who betrayed AB, and uncovering the mystery of the Alternants, Kallie's happy to only think of never being Fatgirl ever again when Zeus is captured.

She has no choice but to save him, and with the help of her friends, family, and allies, Kallie vows to just that -- but even with all their resources, it's still not enough to prevent devastating loss.

What kind of hero can't save someone?
