I used to be dampersandspoons but changed my pen name a couple of years ago. I've been writing Spuffy fanfic since 2007 and I feel it in all of my bones how long that is. Some of these stories you may recognize from my old dampersandspoons account, but most (if not all) have been reworked, tweaked, edited, or completely reimagined because I am a woman who changes her mind often and has commitment issues. I hope you'll enjoy these new versions, and if you've never read them before, you're dead to me! (I'm kidding. Everyone lives forever, you'll never die and I love everyone. Yeah, even YOU.)
