Over the past few years, I’ve started to see myself more and more as a creative being. I think the seeds for this were planted when a) I submitted my first short story to a contest and won, and b) I received kudos from graphic designers for the first incarnation of this blog. So I’ve [...]

This is definitely not directed towards you, dear reader, nor to anyone I know. But I’ve felt these conflicting feelings before, even if I haven’t expressed them. I’ve definitely been on the receiving end of this mixed message. I figure most of you will understand what I’m talking about.

One of the things I love about MoF is that we’re a pretty small community and don’t attract a lot of trolls. This is not to say we never attract trolls, but when we do, it’s a surprise. There are many sites whose comments I simply don’t read because I don’t want to deal with [...]

(no, not that one) “That says, ‘oh, Love Me Dead!’” or, A Feminist Critique of Ludo’s “Love Me Dead” Today’s music brought to you courtesy of DH *ahem* who picked it up from a House commercial. Which is funny, since I watch TV & he doesn’t and the song totally escaped my notice. I’ve had [...]
