1.b. Pursuant to the above: flisties, please continue to not link my stuff on Facebook or nonfannish places were I might be linked to my IRL name. You can help avoid awkward questions ( Read more... )

- Y'ALL I HAVE FINISHED MY COMMITTEE MEETING. It went MUCH better than the first one. There is still a ton to do, but I'm not under a cloud of Doom any more. It's possible we can actually get this shit done.
