Yes, if you were wondering, I just changed the name at the top of the blog. (It is the official name of the setting, after all, on the book covers and everything.) But carry on using the short name if you like. It’ll answer to it!

I’ve been enjoying reading this webcomic a whole lot recently: Grrl Power is a comic about a crazy nerdette that becomes a superheroine. Humor, action, cheesecake, beefcake, ‘splosions, and maybe some drama. Possibly ninjas. …for all those reasons, plus recent SFnal elements, and that our protagonist’s brain seems
