I bought chair wheels today, hell yeah. This means that I can go back to using my normal desk chair without fear of it scratching my lovely floor, rather than the wooden IKEA chair I was using. Which is good, because I'm fairly certain that one was gradually destroying my back. *g ( Read more... )

So apiphile got me thinking about genderswap stories. This is apparently not a trick that my brain can do without serious difficulty, so after methodically attempting and failing to picture genderswapped characters in most of the fandoms I play in, I decided "What the hell, I'll just genderswap one of my original fic characters ( Read more... )
