Greetings

Hi, there! I'm a very Crunchy Mask. If you care to know who I am and what I'm about, check out the About Me page. Otherwise, enjoy my ramblings below, I guess. They're listed in reverse chronological order, so the top one is the newest published and so on. I don't keep much continuity between posts, so it shouldn't matter a great deal, anyway.

If you share similar interests, contact me using the means listed in the Contact page to talk over a link exchange. See that page for disclaimers.

THP — All Things Touhou

• A community dedicated to fiction about the Touhou Project. Historically tends towards Choose Your Own Adventure style stories, but people can post all kinds of things. Very much a do-it-yourself community. I moderate here. The admin and owner, Teruyo, is a cool guy.

Cacheline's homepage

• The homepage of a cool dude I know through THP. He streams a lot of games. I'm not much of a stream-watcher, but I think he's cool enough. Go watch his stuff if you like streams.
