[alexcat.livejournal.com]

I update once every 2 weeks (or so) with fiction, challenges etc. Please feel free to contact me if 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 that I missed the last update- sometimes life happens and I have two in-laws in dementia right now and they take a lot of our time. We have lots of goodies with Babylon 5 month almost done so enjoy!
