Life's too stressful right now for me to think straight so I'm looking for light and airy, preferably humorous stories. Things like lordshipmayhem's Manatee Bay stories. In dead tree it might be something light from Pratchett (so *not* a Granny Weatherwax story – more like Going Postal or The Light Fantastic.)
Suggestions?
The Richard Jackson Saga by Banadin.
Later volumes (elsewhere) get more serious, but this one is pretty light-weight.
The accompanying Mary stories are lightweight, too.
I'll have to give it another try, though from what I remember it's probably too involved for me to sink into at the moment.
Not Guilty by Harddaysknight Its quick and funny, I can't remember his other stories that involve that hapless cop, otherwise anything by FantasyLover but especially The Goatherd stupid goat :)
I might take a look, though cheating stories are generally a major squick for me, ditto cuckold.
If you have Premier Membership, several Tony Stevens stories fit the bill:
https://storiesonline.net/s/60292/long-reliever (one of his baseball stories)
https://storiesonline.net/s/48425/ton-a-tits-tess and then
https://storiesonline.net/s/52281/will-and-tess-excellent-adventure
(the author still visits SOL occasionally but he changed his email address so that 'nym has been orphaned)
A couple of todd_d172's stories also spring to mind:
https://storiesonline.net/s/15688/the-secret-life-of-secretaries (short)
https://storiesonline.net/s/21080/tequila-shuffle
The only issue with his stories is that they tend to be a bit involved. I was going through a batch of them after Quasirandom reminded me of them, but got bogged down in Long Reliever, even though I've read and enjoyed it before. Ashes to Dust, though, was a good, fun read.
Thanks for letting us know that he's still around.
I would never have thought of todd_d172 for something light! I'll check them out.
The Secret Life of Secretaries was just what I needed! I hadn't thought of the Bastard Operator from Hell in some time, but now it's time to revisit.
Tequila Shuffle does contain references to past cheating, which is why two of the MCs are divorced. Let's just say both got their own back.
Klutz by MisguidedChild
Can someone be so clumsy that she is dangerous to everyone around her? Susan is. She is known as Miss Disaster and is considered a force of nature. What happens when this force of nature meets the immovable object? Do opposites really attract? Klutz is a love story. There is no real sex in part 1 but since sex is an important part of human nature, sex is talked about and insinuated but isn't necessary for part 1.

I hadn't thought about it but I agree, very much in the vein of what I'm looking for. Thanks for the reminder.

May I recommend https://storiesonline.net/series/728/donaldsons. Indulge in the delightful froth of The Donaldsons series served for your pleasure by Lazlo Zalezac!
As I recall the stories are light and will evoke laughter, which I have been told is a cure for much of what ails us.
