The giant list of Fannish Stuff I've Made can now be found here, at my dreamwidth account.

It is the hour(s) of the morning when I wait desperately for the drugs to kick in so that I can go back to sleep, and so here is an early-morning post for you about content notes and warnings.

Also, I know very well from experience that I don't like it when random white male American people show up in my ( Read more... )

I'm eventually going to have to remake that vid, aren't I? MY GOOD GOD.
