Rising Up From the Depths

Contains spoilers for The Last Jedi, kind of.

My very first published Star Wars fanfic was in a print zine when I was just short of fourteen. It was about Leia, and it was called Denouement. So is this one.

Did you know it's Penguin Awareness Day? Now you do.

RIP, Melissa Mathison.

In September, 1983 I went to the beach with four friends. I was fifteen, and we stayed at her parents beach house with her mom, who kindly stayed out of the way. We went to lay out, and lying on my beach towel in the sun, the red haze visible even through sunglasses and closed eyes, I heard this for the first time.

EEEEEEE!

If they do reboot Stargate, you know who I want to see cast as Jack O'Neill? Will Smith. Can you imagine anyone more fabulous?

My thoughts and prayers are with my friends in France on this terrible day.

Just my favorite. Just lovely.
