about
This is Shannon's (or Sid because it's shorter) junk drawer filled with Dynasty Warriors, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Avengers, Supernatural, Avatar, Tudors, Borgias, Spartacus, Harry Potter, opinions, shiny things, and anything else. I have a deep love for Shrios, Zevran, Fenris, Destiel, Zutara, Varro, plenty of DW loves, and any other OTPs I stumble into.
