Works
As Fan Fiction Reader
Merry has a known fear mixed with hatred for stories that end unhappily, *and* a great number of friends who understand her. This has led to the concept of the Merry-safe ending: a tag that people include on Delicious links, or a line they mention in their fanfic reviews, that avers that the story's ending has been checked and approved.
As Vidder
Merry has made vids in SGA, Numb3rs, and Smallville; her SGA vid "Hello" (2005) was a notable pimping vid and brought many people into SGA fandom. You can find some of her vids at her vid page.

- Merry was the head of the sites Radio Free Cascade and Radio Free Seacouver, which hosted fanfiction in Sentinel and Highlander fandom respectively.
- Along with Nita, Merry created the Interim Sentinel Slash archive (which later became 852 Prospect under Nita's management) after the original Sentinel Slash archive became defunct in 1997.
