This page isn't updated as often as I'd like, because most of what I want to say is already up, and I don't have as much free time as I'd like. Random other thoughts about fanfiction and writing can be found in the LJ and my writing journal, but so can a great deal of off-topic rambling. As for what's actually here, here's a simple what-to-find-where site map:

Also, every subsection tells you what's in the subsections, even the really short ones. Any other questions you have, feel free to send to me, and I'll try and get answered for you. Also feel free to send me suggestions for things you'd like to see here, since I'm always trying to be helpful, fun, and please the crowd.
