Micropoetry - May 2018
It seems we still have some May stuff to finish off my darling nerdlets!
So, I have some more Micropoetry for you! Like last month, I've made up some graphic-y image-y things for two of them.
No promises for the future - this is totally a 'when I feel like it/when I have time' thing, but I hope you like the graphics anyway!
If you're using a screen reader, the poems with graphics have the poetry itself as the alt text, with / marks showing the line breaks.

May. May was hectic.
Some good stuff happened. Some not-good stuff happened.
Such is life I suppose!

Friday Fics Fix - Harry and Draco and a Fic I Love For Reasons Unknown
'They began to acknowledge one another in the halls, not in a way that anybody else took any degree of notice to, but as their silence slowly became louder to one another they spoke in hushed whispers in empty corridors and alcoves and in the back of the library.'
I don't know why I like this week's fic.
There's just... something about this fic. I don't know why.
There's not much of a plot. The prose is over-dramatic and over-flowery in places. And I have no idea what's going on with the characterisation.
Sorry, that's not much of a ringing endorsement is it?
Maybe I'm not explaining it right. Cos this fic totally rocks.
Why? Well, because... because... I have no f**king clue. It's somehow amazing though.

Micropoetry - April 2018
Yes, it's halfway through the month before I'm doing last month's Micropoetry round-up-type-thing, but I have an excuse this time!
Due to my laptop breaking on the last day of April, I got a bit behind on post-writing (and let's face it, I was hardly Ms Punctual to begin with!)
So here we are in the middle of May, looking at April's Micropoetry!
I've done something a little different this month - some of my Micro-poems are in a graphics-type format.
I'm not sure whether this is something I'm going to carry on with, or even if I'll have time to do it again for other months, but I thought I'd give it a shot!
The poems are in the alt-text of the images, with / symbols showing the line breaks, for anyone using a screen-reader. 😊

Month in Review(s) - April 2018
April... ha, so, what's May lookin' like? 😅
April happened. I lived through it *starts singing I'm still standing by Elton John and doing an incredibly embarrassing dance.*
My grandmother is still in hospital - she went in at the beginning of March - but she's definitely improving. We're basically waiting for a social care package in place so that she can go home, because there's no way my 88-year-old grandfather can take care of her.
And on the last day of April my laptop - which had been hanging on on a wing and a prayer, granted - gave up the ghost.
On the plus side, I reached over 3k Twitter followers in April! I love you guys, really! XD

Month in Review(s) - March 2018
March. Ah, March.
There was some good, incredible, awesome stuff - like a Fall Out Boy concert last week (completely awesome!) and hitting 200k page-views on Dora Reads (I LOVE YOU MY NERDLETS!!!) - but there was also a lot of stress, worry, Anxiety, etc.
There's a lot of personal stuff going on atm, including my grandmother being in hospital since the beginning of the month - and thanks so much for your support my dearest nerdlets! You rock, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate it!
March, for yours truly, was one of those months with too much trouble, and too little time to deal with it.

2018 Fanfiction Reading Challenge Update #1
First update time! Woop!
I've read 63 chapters/parts in the first 3 months of this year!
My goal is 300-399 or 'Tuxedo Cat,' so I better get reading. Not too shabby though, if I do say so myself 😎

Comics Wrap-Up - And The Silence Is So Deafening, It's Like Picking at a Sore
I'm super-tired this week, so if I'm spouting nonsense and/or using verbiage and syntax usually found only in 19th Century novels (a weird habit I have sometimes when I'm tired,) then that's why! 😅

Micropoetry - February 2018
Yes, I know, I know, I always end up posting these half-way through the next month. But it's because I'm awesome, obviously 😎
There's a huge mix of poems this month, because my head is clearly a randomly varied place 😅
