Be it a new character, genre, theme, etc.! Enter a challenge. There are so many fun ones you might try! See here+. Start a thread in the Writing Exercises forum. See h

Hello, my dears! This is going to be a short entry, but I'd love to start conversations with anyone who's seen the shows I've watched in quarantine! I don't know if they have enough interest to justify an entire thread in Other Fandoms, so I thought I'd just put them here and await your replies! To preface: I didn't watch much anime growing up (mostly just Sailor Moon since it was on Cartoon Network—and I 100% acknowledge that Amara and Michelle greatly influenced my sexual awakening), so I'm just now catching up on being an anime fan well into my 20s. Which also sort of means that I'

I really enjoyed reading this blog and learning more about our Community Co-ordinators (finally figured out the change of title). Thank you! I wonder how many of us FFTers there are who confess to having grandchildren.

So, I decided to think of things that would really make me happy. 1. Finish my story "Recovery" - This isn't a be-all and end-all resolution as the story has already been in
