Hello! If you’re reading this, I am alive and (pretty much) okay! I'm not active on YWS, but you may occasionally see me stalking poking around forums and reading new works from the Green Room.

Podcast Corner:
I like listening to podcasts! I love going on episode binges and discovering new podcasts (usually fiction) to listen to. Below is a short list of some I've liked so far and recommend (no genre tags, sorry, but there ARE short descriptions!):
- The Magnus Archives: Jonathan Sims, newly appointed Head Archivist of the Magnus Institute, records statements of horrifying, supernatural occurrences. But is there something larger lurking behind these statements?
- Welcome to Nightvale: Community radio show host Cecil reports on the morbid and mundane events that happen in Nightvale, a strange town in the desert. (I consider this something of a comedy-horror.)
- The Amelia Project: The Amelia Project is an underground organization that fakes its clients' deaths and sets them up with new lives - provided those clients have an interesting story. Cocoa is involved.
- The Bright Sessions: Dr. Bright conducts therapy sessions with rather exceptional individuals, including (not limited to) a woman who can travel through time, an empath, and a mind-reader.


Below is a run-on sentence of my general interests in no particular order. Pretty standard bio stuff.

So... yeah! Nice to meet you! (Or, more accurately, be absorbed by you in a deconstructed way through a computer or phone screen! ...Wait, are you looking at YWS on your phone right now? If so: Woah. Respect. I don't have the strength to handle that. You're on another level. If not: how do people do that?? I don't know about you, but my eyes are WAY too terrible for phone yewis. Computers for me, thank you. And for you too, apparently. Hey, nice.)
