Aww yeah, it’s STAR TREK day! In IMAX! 3D! (It was a very weird week at work, exacerbated by every decision needing to go through five steps of approval, with at least one of the five always on vacation. The weekend is a welcome reprieve.) Time to go watch EXPLOSIONS IN SPACE! And also some […]

But we’ve never really had a temp doing this before, and everyone is in that weird situation of being all, ‘Welcome! We’re so glad to have you here!

When I was struggling to finish my last writing project, the thing that got me through was reading imperfect fic. My own, other people’s, anything that crossed my screen. Because I could look at it and know that objectively speaking, it had some problems, but I WAS STILL ENJOYING IT! In every story there was […]

Slithering, by astolat Set immediately after the war — I really liked seeing the recovery from Draco’s perspective.
