Most of my viewing habits lately have been directed towards cartoons. Maybe it's because I find the rest of the entertainment world increasingly hostile, or just because I enjoy the medium, but in any case I've been watching a lot of animated shows lately.

The magic of the internet, however, allows some leeway … Continue reading Great Humor, Great Morals, and Why Having Your Heroine Be a Music Box for an Episode Makes for Good Writing
FAN Fiction!
Dipping my toes in the semi-embarrassing, but oh-so-fun world of fan fiction. I believe the below image speaks for itself. Here's a sample.
