I just realised that the Indifferent Ignorance Awards, which I thought I posted two days ago, shows up on the site as being posted on the 21st, when I started the draft. I’m going to have to get a grip on this Internet lark in 2015… I’m quite busy at the moment, which is weird […]

New Spooky Story Shack Piece!
I’ve got a Christmas present for you guys! It’s a superduper Halloween story that I wrote in September! It’s illustrated by Daniele Murtas and I think they did an excellent job. If you liked it (or even if you didn’t) please leave a comment either on The Story Shack or here. I was tempted when […]
Indifferent Ignorance Awards 2014
This year has some new categories and tough competition! Books of the Year I’ve stopped trying to pick one. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell, which I thought was going to be about whiny teenagers and is actually a lovely story about twins with great names who go to university in Nebraska. One of them writes a fanfiction that […]
New Years Blog Resolutions?
I am busy trying to think up new year’s resolutions for the blog, because I think it would be fun to see if I can keep them past 8th January. So far I have come up with: Learn to cook and share the horror stories with you guys to dispel the cookbook-perpetrated myth that you […]

Either way, it’s very gratifying! I remembered when I was going through […]
Reality TV and Smaug Being a Diva
I don’t know about you lot, but I am both nervous and excited for the Strictly Come Dancing results show tonight. Possibly because sparkly dancing and bright lights are the best things ever, and partly because if the final is next week then Christmas is the week after. Less than two weeks. I need to […]
Want to Send UKIP a Christmas Gift Without Crapping in an Envelope? Let Me Help You.
Snowflakes, last week I made an important discovery: UKIP has an address to which you can send mail. Unlike their now-defunct Freepost address, it’s a regular address for which you have to purchase a stamp, but they also have an email contact. As a citizen concerned at the rise of UKIP, I felt it my civic […]
Universal Balance and Christmas Cheer
Normally this time of year I’m stressing about one type of end-of-year bullshit (termly tests and homework) and putting off another type of end-of-year bullshit – Christmas presents for eighty million people. But this year I’m not in school and work doesn’t have termly assessment grades so… I’ve bought at least half my gifts and […]
