Hi, all~

Some of you may remember me, others may not, and that's cool. I disappeared now almost two years ago, after some rocky stuff both around here and in my personal life, and since then more has happened and changed than can fit into a single intro post. But I miss some of the connections I made on this ship, and so here I am back on board.

For those of you who don't know me, and maybe for a lot of you who do, I'm a writer of adult and MG fantasy novels, a traditional publishing nerd, and an illustrator especially fond of detail black-and-white stuff. I'm also an advocate of semicolons, prologues, timeline shenanigans, queries, and other such misunderstood things. When I'm not writing or arting, which is rarely, I also talk about mental health stuff and lgbtq+ stuff, both of which feature in my works in varying degrees of ownvoices.

You can call me any variation of the username, and if you're talking about me please use they/them pronouns.

I suppose that's about it! It's interesting to be back, and I'm looking forward to getting to know a lot of unfamiliar names as well as reconnecting with the familiar ones. Perhaps even starting some Storybooks :wink: It's been a while.

Thanks, all! It’s nice to be back. And a bit odd—so many things changed, yet so few did.
(And I totally need to get myself used to thinking in BBCode again)

Welcome back!! :)
I believe in a universe that doesn't care and people that do.

You and I, we are matter, and it matters.

Things have changed a lot, it’s good to see you back though!! I think I was either Flite or Hiraeth back when you were still active. But then again, I’ve also more or less disappeared for the same amount of time
