brainwane on Archive of Our Own (my fannish next-of-kin is watersword). Here on Dreamwidth I talk a bit more about fannish things or make small observations.
"I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true" is an Abraham Lincoln quote by way of Barack Obama.
If you comment on my post, I will read it, but I am a poor correspondent when it comes to replying to comments, so I may not reply; please know that my neglect is not a reaction to you in particular.
Please feel free to go ahead and subscribe! And if a post here is public then you are free to link to it anywhere, including outside of Dreamwidth.
