Aug. 16th, 2021 11:33 amI update once every 2 weeks (or so) with fiction, challenges etc. Please feel free to contact me if I you have news or anything you think needs to be featured here. Just send me a PM at
alexcat or post it to the update and I’ll include it the next time.
Sorry for being a day late. I’m going into the hospital for surgery and at least 8 days in hospital and am trying to get everything ready and tie up loose ends. This update will be short – fiction, art, communities and that is that. It will probably be 4 weeks before I update again. I will do so when I am able. Go watch B5!!!
