So I've effectively been dead to the internet for the last few years - at least under this penname. Not sure I'll be writing much in the future, either: my Dad died on the twentieth of January. It was very sudden and unexpected, and I'm still trying to get used to the idea of not being able to go to him for help, advice or just for company. Right now I'm having a very hard time writing fanfic even for my own enjoyment, let alone anyone else's.
I also have to spend most of my time at home with my elderly pet rat, Fudge. She's two and a half years old, and she's very sweet and gentle.

She's just developed what seems to be the beginning stages of hind-end paralysis: her back legs are weak and she has a lot of trouble sitting back to hold any hard food between her little front paws. She's pretty happy for a single rat, having been alone since July when her cagemate, Smokey, passed away from a pituitary tumour.
