I know, I know — I’m a day late. And<\/em> posting late in the day as well, but it’s still holidays so that must count as my excuse.<\/p>\n

The sun rises on a new year<\/p><\/div>\n

I did post on Supernatural Underground<\/a> for 1 January, but I haven’t decided on a theme yet so just contented myself with the traditional good wishes. For now — which you may take as either threat or promise. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

In the meantime, just in case you missed it, Kim (Falconer, that is) completed her ‘Choose Your Weapon’ series with a finale on Espionage, which you can check out here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And I wrapped up the Grand Finale of Villainy with a retrospective here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My featured villain was Arcolin, in Daughter of Blood<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

Otherwise, although I know it can be difficult to regard 2025 on the macro scale with equanimity, and some of you may face challenging or sorrowful circumstances right now, I nonetheless hope that the new year may bring you all good health and happiness at a personal level — along with at least a smidgin of creativity, prosperity, and success.<\/p>\n
