Challenge #8

In your own space, write a promo, manifesto or primer for a beloved character, relationship or fandom.

Title: Children of the Dog Star (1980's TV series)

Approx length: Six episodes

Where to find it: Youtube

What is it, in summary?: New Zealand YA sci-fi about three pre-teens on holiday in the countryside. They're bored, but soon realise there's something alien nearby in the swamp.

What do you love about it?: I like how the characters in different ways slowly realise something odd is going on. Gretchen, the main character, is determined to get to the bottom of things, no matter what.

Content warnings: PG

Challenge #6

Share your favourite piece of original canon.

Opening credits of 'Buck Rogers in the 25th Century'.

When I was a kid, I loved this show. It was a bit cheesy at times, but the opening credits lives in my head rent-free.

Challenge #3

In your own space, talk about a fannish opinion you hold that has changed over time.

When I started writing fanfic years ago, telling people I wrote it rarely ended well. Now it has become more normalised, and those I have told IRL don't blink an eyebrow. Which is nice progress.

Challenge #12

Tell Us about a Personal Win.


Well, I recently finished a landscape painting called 'Garden and Road' that can be found at my Redbubble shop:
