I wish I could find all the old livejournal crew of yore but I think between username changes, and life changes it's hard-going. Ho hum.

As always, my tumblr and Ao3 accounts are under

mellaithwen, come say hi :)

I hope you all have a much better year than the last x

hi.

..if you celebrate, and happy holidays if you don't -- or even, happy Tuesday!!! :) this new year, I'm determined to find all of my old livejournal/tumblr friends and add you one at a time! ha :)

Crossposts: https://mellaithwen.livejournal.com/402942.html

I have a feeling tumblr is going the way of livejournal, and I'm missing the ol' livejournal golden-age-of-community vibes so if I've randomly added you it's because I'm finally trying to make use of this account after ten years of leaving it by the wayside...!
