Twenty years of web development experience. A background in Flash and ActionScript from the Newgrounds era around 2005, which informs your relationship with early internet culture.

02 People
Leah Mains
Reunited with your wife of twenty years. Co-author of The Time Travellers Guild, first published 2008. She wrote Mirror Crossed — a personal account of time travel — then formally studied Physics at the University of Sunderland. You describe her as "a singular wizard."
"married in the fashion known to their people, which was little and totally"
She has two boys by a local man named Adam. The boys are founder-attenders of WizardSchool, a Tawe valley co-learning cooperative. The current relationship is platonic — creative kinship, mutual respect, deep shared history. She prefers her singular life with the boys. No children in common.

03 Active Production
Arianrhod
A film — FFILM.;. — greenlit, anchored in Swansea (Oxford.Tawe). It doesn't behave like a film. It doesn't begin with a set. It begins with a city already in motion. Multiple authorship layers running simultaneously, not as an editing trick, but as a working method.

Corporate layer —ElixirCorp
Starring Swansea
Castle Square holds the visible flow of time. Bennett Street: a five-way crossing, a place where direction is negotiated rather than given. Kilvey Hill watches without intervening. Tŷ Chwith sits slightly to one side of everything — a school where alignment is taught by stepping out of it.

Silver wheel turning. Tower at the sea's edge. Sovereign, uncontained. The Mabinogion barely holds her. Neither will the film try to.

UniKin
Thirteen years in development. Published 1 March 2026 on Desk Publishing. Urban fantasy, set in London, featuring a chained unicorn beneath the city. The Hackney Time Wars of 2013 live inside it. Izi as HUD, as alter, as internal angel — that material went somewhere.

06 Background / Personal
The ground
Welsh. Abercrave, Upper Swansea Valley. Deep roots in the Upper Swansea Valley landscape — the Cribarth, the Sleeping Giant. Strong interest in Welsh language, Celtic mythology, Celtic Christianity, place-based storytelling. Constructed language GOÐEN. The breaktesting methodology and its published Substack essays.
Both parents deceased. Father's memory carried with particular weight. Recurring dreams about the late mother. Hackney, 2013 — the Time Wars — PTSD is present and named. A hammock, a closed parenthesis, an apocalyptically good night's sleep.
material conditions
van ————————2007 VW Caddy 1.9 TDI · off road · failed injector · no MOT
van debt ———— ~£1,000–1,500 to resolve entirely
recent income —VJ paid · Alias INV-002 CHF 500 (paid) · GRAK uncertain
recent treat ——Juice Airphones (budget wireless in-ear)
ACW grant ——£9,000 applied (app. 2025006078) · status unknown
A period of modest financial relief after pressure. The pipeline remains the chronic problem — not the work, not the skill, but the infrastructure of getting paid reliably for it.

07 Gaps in Context
What I don't know
These are the gaps in my current model of your situation. Things I've noted as uncertain, unresolved, or not yet updated in recent threads.
- Status of the Alias / Hippocrates-L relationship post-Switzerland trip — whether there's further work or the engagement has concluded
- Whether the GRAK invoice (INV-2026-GRAK-01) was eventually paid by Gez, beyond the laptop barter
- Status of the Arts Council Wales grant application (2025006078, £9,000 requested) — outcome unknown
- Current state of the van — whether the garage debt and injector situation has moved at all
- Arianrhod is very new in these threads — its shape, timeline, and production structure are still forming. Most of what I hold is declarative, not practical
- Faetime's current membership and feature state beyond the first five members and initial features
- Leah's exact role in Arianrhod production beyond the mythological framing — whether she is actively producing, advising, or simply present in the concept
