OR, and this is far more likely,

I know a mod or two with Av-changing powers, and may or may not have dropped one of them a line that someone in the Cantina (who is also always taking potshots at said mod) was bragging most foolishy.

Fati is an exceptionally smart person. Yay for you for getting a night out and for getting the writing going again. Not only am I sure it's harder than it sounds, it also sounds overwhelming. And quick, which I must imagine is distressing in the short term, if maybe a mercy in the long.

Thinking of you, and sending lots of your way.

I'm admitting only to being a snitch.

Beyond that, who (and what) I know is up for serious debate.


'Cause I know nothing. About this, anyway.

Good morning! Boo for synopses. I think I'm going to have to write one up today to refocus on a story I outlined a while ago and now have to write.

I've been checking out Anime X-Men on Netflix recently. Was somewhat surprised to see that it took putting Cyclops in the hands of the Japanese to make him an interesting character again.

I try to pretend that I'm really two people, and the male half of me is the one who does all the public appearances.

No-one's yet absconded with Barbara Stanwyck. She's pretty feisty for a 104-year-old.
