Each Monday, we are pleased to present someone’s favorite things! We’re madly in love with so many things and we love sharing those things with the whole world. However, once per year, we convene to discuss the things that disappointed us. Perhaps it was something that we had been anticipating and we felt let down by its reality. Maybe it…

That’s right — we’re doing this again. Why? Because mind-bending, overly complicated blog posts are my reason for the season. So, put your mittens around your kittens and away we go! On the twelfth day of spec fic, my nerd friend gave to me…
