Squad Goals — Cathy Yardley

This is the 13th episode of Geek Actually a 13-episode serial from Serial Box Publishing. This episode written by Cathy Yardley.


Meet your new best girlfriends in this sexy, genre-busting serial that's all about feminism, friendship, and fandom.


There's nothing quite like seeing a friend in pain, and when the Rebel Scum arrive at Fairy Con, that's how they find Elli. It's up to them to help her see the truth about what happened -- and up to her to see a way forward. When they part ways, each woman goes home to face her own demons, stronger for having spent some time with the best kind of friends: the ones who see you for who you are…and don't hesitate to remind you who that person is.


Join this tight-knit group of lady geeks as they navigate the ups and downs of their personal and professional lives. Michelle is a hard-nosed fantasy and sci-fi editor used to things going her way. Taneesha is a talented video game programmer used to being the odd (wo)man out. Aditi is a fantasy writer on the verge of her big break. Christina is a rebel on the sidelines of Hollywood. And Elli is a fan-of anything and everything that keeps her from "proper adulting." They might live far apart, but through the power of the internet and a shared love of all things geek, they are ready to face the world together.
