Shouldn’t fans decide what’s canon?April 10, 2019I’ve had an idea in my head for a while, and along with it, a word: fanon. It seems to me that there is a very real but simple problem in much of science fiction fandom. For our beloved universes, the wrong people get to decide what is canon. I’m not deeply into the Star Wars mythology. […]

My First NaNoWriMoOctober 29, 2018I’ve never done NaNoWriMo (and don’t want to have to type that name a lot – too many caps!). I’ve witnessed Twitter friends go through it. They’ve made it sound painful, honestly. Somehow it always seemed like a form of torture that i didn’t need to impose on […]
I Dreamt a MovieOctober 26, 2018I’ve been having sleep difficulties recently. Sometimes this means I can’t sleep, for tossing and turning. Other times it means I have very vivid dreams. I want to tell you about one dream that i had a few nights ago both because it’s stayed with me, and because it was so […]
