Testimonials:

"Kleenexwoman writes primarily short, weird, thoughtful-type fics that have a preoccupation with time travel and old school sci-fi references. Her fics have a good sense of characterization, successful construction, and a quietly subversive sort of strangeness that is lacking in most fanfic." --DrWorm

"You know, I can always recognise one of your stories. There's a... bleakness, to some of them, a feeling of helplessness, for lack of a better term. A feeling that I can't quite pin down, but it makes my chest ache a little bit.
And sometimes you write sweet stories, but there's always that depth behind them...
(Me): Helplessness. Hmmm.
The best word I can come up with at the moment.
I dunno.
Like I'm missing something, but I can't quite put my finger on what it is?
Like looking up into space and thinking about Star Trek, and aching so badly to be in that world, to be up there in space, and knowing you never will be.
A feeling like that, sometimes.
That ache." --Artemis Boyd

"kleenexwoman builds her own hats from scratch with the help of alf and harry from harry and the hendersons. the three of them are planning on stealing the mona lisa and replacing it with a screenshot depicting my best minesweeper time." --B.J. Williams
