I have to admit, having my parents find/start following any of my fannish accounts is one of the things I fear most in the world. I do not want them to know how much I talk about gay porn.

Pretty much I love everyone in the series, which really says something. (CHARMAIN DOES NOT GET ENOUGH CREDIT FOR HER AWESOME GOOD GOD.)

Atia will always be my favourite fictional lady and nothing will ever change that. (Its in development hell, I understand.)
