I write stories about characters with real world struggles in otherworldly settings. You can read more about me and my books on FAITHMCKAY.NET. Here on my tumblr, you’ll see me reblogging lots of things about reading, the Whedonverse, The Walking Dead, Supernatural, Travel photos, and other awesome goodness. I also sometimes blog about my writing, including things about my novel, Prophecy Girl, the upcoming sequel, and other projects I’m working on. You can also find me on… Twitter as @faithmckay, where I talk a lot about everything, Facebook , where I post a lot about my writing, or Goodreads, where I update a lot about the things I’m reading.

Some of it is straight-up homage, but a lot of [fan fiction] is really aggressive towards the source text. One tends to think of it as written by total fanboys and fangirls as a kind of worshipful act, but a lot of times you’ll read these stories and it’ll be like ‘What if Star Trek had an openly gay character on the bridge?’ And of course the point is that they don’t, and they wouldn’t, because they don’t have the balls, or they are beholden to their advertisers, or whatever. There’s a powerful critique, almost punk-like anger, being expressed there—which I find fascinating and interesting and cool.”<br/><br/> - <em>Lev Grossman  (via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://albinwonderland.tumblr.com/">albinwonderland</a>)</em>http://faithmckay.tumblr.com/post/53286565489http://faithmckay.tumblr.com/post/53286565489Tue, 18 Jun 2013 10:00:19 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/b96d55bfd8f8588bd8cac92a3819e412/tumblr_mnqtxkTxmv1rzadffo1_500.gif"/><br/><br/>http://faithmckay.tumblr.com/post/53283646422http://faithmckay.tumblr.com/post/53283646422Tue, 18 Jun 2013 09:13:09 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/ad77d64ead5734124335fb77caced929/tumblr_mn40mlzAEG1qc76t1o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://woodendreams.tumblr.com/post/51095289603/by-miles-smith">woodendreams</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>(<a href="http://500px.com/photo/14949033">by Miles Smith</a>)</p> </blockquote>http://faithmckay.tumblr.com/post/53283628384http://faithmckay.tumblr.com/post/53283628384Tue, 18 Jun 2013 09:12:50 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/b168bf9c10f1aab2da0a649b14adc3e7/tumblr_mm8k1gw3qu1rehikeo1_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/d44c5fd4e04e3b00199b7e8856ab6ab6/tumblr_mm8k1gw3qu1rehikeo2_500.png"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://birchbone.tumblr.com/post/52085220176/queensassyofthefatties-lewiss-law-is-an">birchbone</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://queensassyofthefatties.tumblr.com/post/49820138993/lewiss-law-is-an-observation-she-made-in-2012">queensassyofthefatties</a>:</p> <blockquote> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Lewis_(journalist)#Lewis.27s_law"><strong>Lewis’s law</strong> is an observation she made in 2012 that states “<strong>the comments on any article about feminism justify feminism</strong>.” Lewis has written frequently about misogynist hate directed at women online.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-8">[8]</sup></a></p> </blockquote> <p>Can we just repeat that a few more times, </p> <p>“The comments on any article about feminism justify feminism.”</p> <p><strong>“The comments on any article about feminism justify feminism.”</strong></p> </blockquote> <p>bolded is important</p> </blockquote>http://faithmckay.tumblr.com/post/53278046918http://faithmckay.tumblr.com/post/53278046918Tue, 18 Jun 2013 07:30:10 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/25dd83db216f49c6b3d15223efa19beb/tumblr_mlmjm6VvO31rocoqho1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://faithmckay.tumblr.com/post/53236877177http://faithmckay.tumblr.com/post/53236877177Mon, 17 Jun 2013 17:30:21 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/08e70322b518892e7658d41f11a06a06/tumblr_mm6ulpc9WL1s3zjnao1_500.gif"/><br/><br/>http://faithmckay.tumblr.com/post/53226376769http://faithmckay.tumblr.com/post/53226376769Mon, 17 Jun 2013 15:00:07 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/bb6f2fc38f01eb3c5bdfa6fc63afdab9/tumblr_mojqv6fBNQ1r8j1fjo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://faithmckay.tumblr.com/post/53217445723http://faithmckay.tumblr.com/post/53217445723Mon, 17 Jun 2013 13:01:57 -0700satc<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/5e9f45f40017712de2f8155b3c5de19e/tumblr_mnroqx0xPN1rnithco1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://rainydayandapotoftea.tumblr.com/post/51965518954/this-will-always-be-my-favourite-photo-in-the">rainydayandapotoftea</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>This will always be my favourite photo in the whole wide world! </p> </blockquote>http://faithmckay.tumblr.com/post/53215083984http://faithmckay.tumblr.com/post/53215083984Mon, 17 Jun 2013 12:30:22 -0700“<p>Sure you won a Grammy for your first CD and an Oscar for your first film, but are you thin?
