    when I was in newtype

    Thanks to everybody who has let me know that I’m in August’s issue of Newtype USA! I wouldn’t have known if it weren’t for you guys. I managed to snag a copy at the convention this weekend; it’s pretty cool, here’s a scan: Today has been an exceptionally good day, for four reasons. 1. I got my shoes for Ozma,…

    Thoughts on SDCC

    I’ve decided not to take Hild to Comic Con, cause the wig is just a pain to transport. So I’m thinking of replacing it with either my Padme Rainbow gown or my Gryffindor Quidditch uniform.
