Dislikes: One character cheating on or raping the other character in a ship, OOC (crack is fine as long as the characters retain their personalities), mpreg, incest, adult/minor romantic relationships, partner abuse in a ship, tooth-rotting fluff without plot, Avengers fics with Darcy in them.

Non-fandom related requests/anything else?:

So many other stockings in the sea...

[stargraven]

...but this one is yours. :D

Happy New Year, sea. It was such a pleasure getting to know you better this past year through modding MTH, seeing firsthand your incredible commitment and dedication to fandom and every member of the community.

Here is a link to some photography I did in 2009, on the campus of a beautiful church not far from me, where I used to go to a monthly support group meeting. The architecture and landscaping inspired me to ask permission to stay on the grounds late one night and photograph many different angles and views.

Mariner's Church, Newport Beach, CA

I wish you a wonderful year of health, joy, inspiration, friendship, and the best of times in fandom, and look forward to sharing a few more of those with you.

Happy new year to you too, Wendy!<3 I'm so glad you came on board as a MTH mod. Thank you so much for being so incredibly helpful, gung-ho, and ready to roll up your sleeves to do whatever was required, and thank you for always being so nice.

And thank you for sharing pics of your birds hehe. :) BIRBS.

Also, wow, that church is so interesting! I can imagine how peaceful those grounds must have been at night. There must have been something so calming about being there, in solitude and silence. I really like the island sanctuary; its top half is so lovely and I love the interior shots you took of the window (?) panes and roof as well. That tower is cool too!

Anyway, I hope 2020 has been a good year for you so far and the coming months are full of happiness, good health, and wonderful surprises for you. :)<3
