Transformative Works Policy

You want to create fan works based on stories I have written? OMG, that's awesome!!! Feel free to remix a fic, write a sequel, create fan art, or podfic my works. I'd ask you to credit the original work that inspired yours and that you link back to it. I'd also love the chance to check it out!
Podfic: if any small modifications to the words/dialog are needed to make it flow better, that's fine with me.

ABOUT ME
Hello friends and enemies. I write things (I'm trying a habit goal of writing for 300 days this year at @getyourwordsout). I tinker with graphics- while I'll never be great at it, I do enjoy it.
I try to make posts that have links, videos, or pics to make them look interesting.
I am/was super into US politics but I wish I wasn't, and am definitely taking a step back for the year. I'll come back to help with the midterms. I rarely post about politics, but I'm up for good faith questions/discussions.
I play the trombone in my local community band!
I have four inside cats, and one who declared herself an outside cat and bitterly complains when I bring her in during bad weather. There's another stray who discovered her food and now hangs around. I keep trying to get him into TNR clinic, but I think he'd also make a good inside pet for someone else. Maybe I can get Animal Welfare to take him soon.
I'll try to talk about anything!

So here's a roundup of where you can find me.


I add people to my circle whenever I see posts I'm interested in. I try to comment, but sometimes I'm not great. So I totally understand random friending and lurkers. No big deal around here. On the other hand if you're a talker, excellent! My schedule isn't always the most consistent and I don't log on at work, but I have lost my last fuck and am now clicking any link I want to at work. I try want to reply as much as possible.

Comments! (taken from this from trascendenza

( I welcome all of the following types of comments on ANY of my entries: )

The good news: I am 95% sure I have a new job!
The better news: They want to bring me in at my current pay! Without night shift or life/death decisions!
The reason I've been waiting for weeks: HR is sucking sour lemons because the pay was lower on the job posting.

I've already transitioned to day shift to make the move easier, and I've got some leave to burn if it does take longer for HR to get their ducks in a row.

But not all my leave, because I'm taking four days off in May to take a trip to Philly. I'm going to eat everything, see as many museums as possible, go to two baseball games, and have myself a real good time. I hope the weather cooperates. I hope I don't see a single ICE(HOLE) agent. I hope I don't get too nervous coming back through security at the Philly airport - it won't be an issue on the way there since I'm leaving through the tiny local airport.

Here are a couple of other places I've been online:

snowflake_challenge's member's posting page -lets you see all the active people and what they're posting without clicking through the comments page to each challenge.

Glitter and Greed: The Lisa Frank Story is a four part documentary on Prime. The story is terrible, she is a terrible person. I still love those kittens, and the orca.


Arnold's Pump Club Newsletter - Yes, that Arnold, but lest you think this is only for gym bros and folks who shovel plain chicken breast and rice in their mouth all day, let me tell you, it is DEFINITELY for everyone. They consistently say they want to be a positive corner of the internet, and they are! They share research and will tell you if something is hinky due to a small sample size or inconsistent methodology.

Has it been a while since you've played Spider Solitaire?


And hey, if you're feeling generous and wanted to toss something my way:

1. A Plus upgrade for my Storygraph account. If I can keep updating through February, I might buy one myself but it's been so hard to keep the habit up in years past. I only have a goal of 12 books for 2026.

2. A tarot reading for the new year.

3. Something to get my writing juice back. It's been over a year since I managed anything more than an edit or a new sentence or two.

4. For y'all to post some wishes.

The pets are still all right. I was unable to move the stray cat on to a better place, so Remy is now a 60% outside 40% inside cat. The others mostly tolerate him. Got him snipped in the middle of December and I think the hormone changes is messing with everybody because he now just gets in a mood and starts stalking the others. They do not appreciate this.

All together, they make a pretty perfect cat. In order that they appear closest to the camera:

Mackie: always comes in to nap with me, biggest but also highest pitched meow, best ekekek noise
Creed: tiny lapcat, tiny little pink triangle mouth as she yells at me, sassy
Shark: sweetest most perfect boy who has never done anything wrong in his whole life and has the best "Whaaaaaaaaaa" sound instead of a meow.
Bear: is a box fiend, aloof cat so it means more when she decides to spend time touching me
Remy: sprawls over my chest and tucks his head under my chin, seems to really appreciate the soft things in life, also he bites toes
