Ramblings
A list of my story analyses and other commentary.
Some notes:
A ☂ beside a post is a warning for especially critical writing. That post is probably very negative. Proceed with caution!
Posts marked with a ✈ are quite old and may not accurately represent my writing style, thoughts, or opinions now.
I encourage disagreements and discussions!
This list is only updated periodically. Check out the ramblings tag for the most recent content.
If I’ve linked a response of mine to an ask/post/etc. of yours that you don't want on this list, please let me know, and I will remove it immediately.
