Because THREE people told me in one day to join it.

(I'd written a Teen Wolf / Car Talk crossover episode tag. With no place to post such a ridiculous thing, three people in two hours said, "Put it up on tumblr." So I did. Said fic has languished into obscurity, but the tubmlr remains ( Read more... )

So, when the whole Geocities/Angelfire-deaths thing happened, we all laughed. Most things we cared about had moved to other places. Everything was fine, and there were no more sparkly cursors.

But no. It's not fine.

Because I really want to read some Gundam Wing fic right now ( Read more... )

So, I've been super-busy with
* work (videogame dialogue/lore writing again; so awesome)
