What's Going On

January 2010

Just a heads up-- I am moving this site, bit by bit, to a Dreamwidth account set up specifically for my fanfic:

http://kirbyfest-fiction.dreamwidth.org/

I'll be putting up redirects on the most-linked pages, and on the header pages, and this site will remain up probably through mid-2010. After that, it'll be gone, but hopefully by then everyone's bookmarks will be updated, and the redirects will have done their work.

New writing will not be posted here (if any happens in the first six months of 2010, which is actually a possibility), but will go directly to the above-referenced Dreamwidth account.

Thanks for all the lovely comments, support and feedback this site has gotten over the years. It's just time to move to a simpler, free option.


My Pretender episode guide is here. Calling it an "episode guide" makes it sound helpful and serious; it's really neither. Enjoy. It's incomplete; I continue to update as I have time (and in some cases, rewatch episodes). I anticipate updates soon.
