Apparently I have an account with a certain kinkmeme...
... that I no longer recall how to get into. Sigh.
On the bright side, I haven't had a grand mal seizure since the 22nd of December, and my hand surgery went reasonably well. One should always look on the bright side. -
After having read one too many author profiles...
When reading "I'm an X, so I don't write Y" in someone's profile or introduction, does anyone else have a hard time not inferring that the person in question would totally read and write Y if only they could be convinced that it wasn't unethical?

A backlog of movie reviews.
