I love worldbuilding, material culture, history, wuxia, intersectional criticism, fictional moms, and tea. I'm currently studying Classical Chinese and I post the occasional translation. Sometimes I write SFF criticism and fanfic too.

Auctions close at 8pm EST, Saturday, March 7th. It will take a while for our scripts to run through and close all 1600 bidding forms, but even if a bidding form is open, bids that register with timestamps later than 8:00:05 EST will not be counted. So try not to wait until the very last second to bid, or any server delay might make your bid invalid.

You know what's awesome? Vids. Which is why I had the best time watching almost all of the 128 Festivids from this year. While I was watching I made a quick doc of my favorites, which I've now posted as 35 vid recs on Dreamwidth. If you also like vids you'll love these. So many fandoms! Such skills!
