I am on Archive Of Our Own as verhalen [2016-2023] and FlameAndSong [2024 -]. I avoid social media like the plague - I have enough stress. That means you will NOT find me on Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Mastodon, Pillowfort, Bluesky, Threads, Cohost, etc. I do not use Discord or other chat apps. Here's my Linktree for the only places where you can find me.
