What We Publish

Below is a selection of major titles. All volumes are designed, typeset, and produced by Infinite Inquiry Inc.

Core Novels

Likki Licked
The origin novel. Introduces Dr. Likki Likita and the institutional world. Classic serif design and a stable narrative frame that gradually reveals the internal tensions of the universe.

Likki Licked 2: The Likk Gets Likkier
A major expansion. Blends traditional narrative with institutional documents, notices, emails, procedural inserts, and public communications. Functions as both story and archive.

Special Editions

Likki Licked: Valentine’s Special
A shorter seasonal work. Compact, concentrated, and fully canonical.

First Annual Fourth of July BBQ
An interactive digital novel. Readers choose narrative paths through the same institutional logic that governs the printed books.

Likki Licked & the Submission Position
A special volume originally written for a private commission and formalized into the franchise. Retains the universe’s tone, authority, and design structure.

Most Recent Multi-Edition Release

Likki Licked & the Quantum Phallus
Five unique paperback editions, each with a different cover and concluding chapter. Treated within the universe as legitimate parallel printings.

Advanced Orgasmatic Chemistry
A full in-world textbook by Dr. Likki Likita. Hardcover + paperback. Includes equations, diagrams, case studies, memos, and institutional notices. Designed with the precision of an academic publication, though its areas of focus reflect the unusual research priorities of the fictional institution.

Supporting Materials

The franchise is supported by endless additional in-world materials:

  • promotional inserts

  • press releases

  • early-praise and “about the book” sheets

  • membership cards

  • limited merch items

  • confidential notices and research briefs

These pieces extend the universe and reinforce its internal coherence.

The World of Likki Licked

The World of Likki Licked

Dr. Likita’s portrayal operates within this system. She occupies her role with complete confidence, brilliance, and unpredictability. Her exaggerated authority becomes a lens on the contradictions of institutional power, particularly for women working in scientific environments.

The books are set inside a highly respected Boston research institution whose confidence occasionally exceeds its internal coherence. The universe maintains the structural elements of legitimate scientific environments: departmental language, procedural descriptions, formal headings, diagrams, and orderly documentation. This frame anchors the narrative even when events shift into improbable territory.

By adopting the visual and rhetorical features of scientific authority, the books highlight the tension between how institutions present themselves and how they actually function. The humor is not dismissive. It disarms through seriousness, opening a space for readers to consider the expectations placed on expertise, credibility, and the bodies that carry both.

Design is the system that holds the world stable. Novels use traditional typography. Inserts mirror real laboratory documents. Diagrams appear instructional, even when their purpose remains unclear. Memos and notices replicate authentic administrative structures. Consistency is a design priority, and that consistency is part of the joke and part of the critique.

In Circulation

ADD LIBRARY

Likki Licked titles circulate primarily through personal networks rather than mass-market distribution. Readers are often introduced to the books by someone who hands them a copy with little explanation. The initial reaction is usually the same. Surprise that the object exists at all, followed by a close review of its design, and then gradual recognition that the tone remains serious while the content strains conventional scientific plausibility.

Readers frequently treat Cassondra Cunningham as a real authorette. Some contact Infinite Inquiry Inc. with inquiries about future releases or the institution portrayed in the books. Others read the work aloud in groups, turning it into a shared performance. The supporting materials, textbook, and promotional inserts reinforce the sense of a wider readership within the fictional universe.

Questions occasionally arise regarding the accuracy of the procedures described in the series. Infinite Inquiry Inc. notes that all texts adhere to the internal logic of the Likki Licked world, and that any apparent inconsistencies reflect the fictional institution rather than errors in production.

Designer’s Note

I have been developing the Likki Licked universe for nearly ten years. What began as a solo experiment in voice and world-building became a long-term study of how physical books shape perception. The design of each volume meticulously guides how readers move through the text. The humor lands because the format stays serious. This interplay between expectation and disruption is central to my work.

Likki Licked also emerged from my experience inside institutions where authority was unevenly distributed. The series became a place to exaggerate those systems until their structure became visible. Through Dr. Likita, I was able to explore confidence, desire, expertise, and chaos in ways that were not available to me in real settings. Over time, the project shifted from rebellion to inquiry. It became a system that allowed me to examine belief, power, and identity from a different angle.

This work connects directly to my broader research interests. Like Symbiosis, it relies on the emotional effect of designed objects. Like Joe Is Dead, it uses institutional structures to examine how meaning is constructed. Like For Promotional Use Only, it builds a complete world through print, language, and interaction. The Likki Licked series continues to evolve as a study in material intelligence, perception, and the identities we create when we allow fiction to behave as if it is real.
