Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Allyson! Someone with a brain and some taste for snark, at last! Yay!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

HOORAY for cool support.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

HOORAY for cool support.

HOORAY for cool woman writing kickass book about fandom being a new form of modern non-linear family.

Why is it that I can write a book, but not a bio? The fuck? WHO AM I?

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Bios are much harder to write than books. They're like synopses that way.

Focus on your involvement in fandom. Describe the first thing that drew you into it, and talk about the events/campaigns you've been part of. Imagine what would go on the "About the Author" section of your book's dustjacket and write that.

Dear god, I cant do it. I genuinely have nothing to say about me.
