Haven’t been reading a whole lot in FF this month (despite what the count implies – several of these are ones I forgot from previous months!). But I’ve read a few that were nice. And it’s good to remember the … Continue reading

Fanfic Minis – Nov 2025
After reading very little the last few months, this roundup makes it look like I read tons, but really, it’s just that a lot of stories that I’d been reading for a long time all came to a close. That’s … Continue reading

Fanfic Minis – Sept 2025
Hmmm. Well, I didn’t read much in fanfiction this month. Actually, other than a few one-shots that were under the 10k threshold that I use for writing up these minis, I only read WIPs and tradpub fic, mostly because I … Continue reading

Not a lot of reading generally in August. It was a very busy month, with two weeks in the UK with Rainstorm, including attending IneffableCon. Then there was a very sad goodbye, returning to Texas (ðŸ˜), adjusting with jet lag … Continue reading

Fanfic Minis – July 2025
Loads less reading this month re: living temporarily with my Rainstorm. Loads fewer posts, too, as I’ve been busy with a ton of mini weekend travel trips, processing photos, etc. It’s summer. It happens. First: No Food in the Library … Continue reading
Fanfic Minis – June 2025
I spent most of this month reading tradpub books as I tried to cull/read my physical TBR down to as few items as possible. Less to pack away! Here are the few fanfics I read in June. First: I Only … Continue reading

Fanfic Minis – May 2025
It was a really big reading month, both for fanfic and for regular books. Turns out that when I’m under a lot of stress, I read a lot more… First: An Angel for Christmas by PhoenixRose. On his last chance … Continue reading

Fanfic minis – April 2025
This was a travel month, so I got a lot read on the international flights! As a heads-up, I’ve just had a major life change and I don’t know how often I’ll be on the blog right now as I … Continue reading

Back in 2015, I came up with a concept for a novel called The Regret List. At the time, it was a sapphic rom-com that I meant to write for NaNoWriMo that November. I began it, got about 15k words … Continue reading
