Fierce, fat, femme fan. I will organize anything put in front of me. My interests are varied and not easily categorized, but you'll capture my attention with anything fiber crafts, gaming, science fiction, and meta commentary.

If I have Wiscon to thank for nothing else, it's for getting me reading again. Like many others, I had been suffering from a bit of a strange "reading block," where new fiction just wasn't… Continue reading Sorcerer to the Crown Review

(This was originally posted on my now-defunct Dreamwidth blog) The Locus 2020 Finalist lists are out.
