Writer extraordinaire and all around nice person deviant PanZareta is now a blogger on The Daily Kos, a well-known and respected political blog. Way to go, PZ!! Here is the link for her first entry, and a damned fine one, too, if I can do this right: [link]

I am in the process of setting up my account at LiveJournal, which looks like it will be my main home as a fanfic author. I have two Saiyuki stories finished now, and three or four ideas in various stages. After all my years of thinking about writing, I am indebted to Minekura-sama, creator of the Saiyuki series, for giving me such inspiration. Somehow the Sanzo Party have finally awakened my muse, and now that the genie is out of the bottle, she apparently isn't going to go back in. Bitch won't let me sleep, either! I'll be cross-posting here on DA - with a mature filter, because so far my muse is a smutty one - and probably AFF.net as well.

I want to recognize DA deviant Itainohime for her vigilant campaign against shota and rape-related policy violations here on DA. Too many were slipping through the cracks, and she and several other dedicated folks have been working hard, and taking no small amount of flack for doing it. They are trying to make DA a place that lives up to its own standards, and trying to make the world a safer place for young children.

I also want to thank Itai for all the kindness and support she has extended to me over the past several months. She has been very patient with innumerable questions that I am sure sounded dumb to her, and has been very supportive of my forays into this strange new world of deviance, fanfic, smut, etc. I first encountered her and her wonderful stories on y!gallery, and she I believe is the one that steered me here. The high quality and integrity of her fanfic is one of the reasons I wanted to pursue this interest myself, and for that I will always be grateful. You are the best, Itai.
