Ways To Help

I'm going to be completely honest with you. I forgot I had a website until about five minutes ago.

I hope you and your loved ones are safe. Kelly had a pretty firm "no politics" rule for ALNM in the hopes of making this a safe space where everyone could get a break from the pain of the world at large. But I do think she'd be on board with me making this exception. I wanted to organize some of the best advice I received in recent days on how to help and how to be a better ally to Black Americans. I'd also love to hear from you guys what actions you're taking.

[EDIT 2]: Ok, it took hours, but I was finally able to get the results to become visible in the Championship Poll below. Congratulations to the Sanvers fandom!

I hope to have some fun (drama free) activities in the months ahead as I try to feel out the future of this website. Love to you all and stay safe and health out there.

[EDIT]: Between being cooped up in my apartment away from all my loved ones and a stressful time at work right now, I really don't have time for drama. Comments are moderated now and stop saying cruel things in my inbox. I'll post the champion when the poll closes.

I really loved this site as a lasting connection to Kelly, and now I don't know what I'm going to do with it moving forward.

And the poll is OFFICIALLY OPEN! Notes for this round:

Polls close at 9PM PT on May 10th.
Please share your recs and reasons for loving your ship (any ship!) in the brackets. Remember, this is all meant to be FUN.
Use the comments also to start nominating ships you would like to see in a potential 2021 bracket. I have some ideas to make things run more smoothly. Every year is a learning process.
I'll try to update the master list of recs and recipes this week.
As always, final round will go blind starting Wednesday.
Good luck!
