Title: Strawberry Bats
Fandom: Sweet Jane
Characters: Jane
Rating: T
Warnings: Expletives, surrealist thought

Title: Late Nights With J.W.'s Nose
Fandom: Vortex
Characters: VonGraeding, Pisswater, Angry Jonny
Rating: M
Warnings: Bathroom humour, gross explorations of famous locales
Notes: I spent a late night in a local (fairly famous) slop joint, and these are the cultural assumptions I made from what I could see. I was taking way too much Anthropology, at the time, and it was starting to affect my brain.

Title: Butterflies and Coffee
Characters: Ume-kun, Serapi
Rating: G-
Warnings: None
Notes: Wrote this in 1999, late summer, maybe early fall. This one was for J.S., who I seem to have offended the shit out of shortly after this. We haven't spoken since December of the following year, if not before that… Time gets fuzzy as it passes, but it's been a good many years.

Warnings:Â Nerd love
Notes:Â This is the *actual* sonnet #20, which I guess I missed, throwing off my bloody numbering at some point. All I know for sure is that it was written in 1999, probably the summer. I'm going to call it August, because that sounds familiar.
