Given the volumes of new people I should do an introduction thread. I'm Uel, I live in Minneapolis currently, and have lived all over the United States over the last decade. I was part of the fiction-writing side of weird twitter, from around 2012 onward, and wrote a good deal before the downfall.

As of now, my most recent project, greaterrealityarea.net, is a return to the spirit that created North of Reality, informed by all the journeys, studies, and strang encounters I've had since its conception over a decade ago. No matter how long you've been here, I hope you enjoy reading!
