===Mental In The Morning===
Established on August 2003, [[Mental In The Morning]] is a private forum on the [[SFMB]] dedicated as a support group to those members of fandom who desperately need it.
 
===Writings and Art===
Tafka has authored a hand full of fics and ficlets. The most notable of which can be found at her Deviant art profile in the link below. Her work is virtually unique for a frequent use of Andrea as the main character in a serious manner.
 
Tafka also critique's other people’s writings and artworks, on request. Those who have found her critique helpful have maintained a strong relationship with her over the years.
 
===Daria Blandom Blog===
Tafka is an enthusiastic contributor to the [[Daria Blandom Blog]]
 
==Coincidence==
Lew and Tafka got married on the 10th Anniversary of Daria. They didn’t actually plan it that way. They’d originally planned to get married on the 6th Anniversary of OzDariaCon – the 20th of January, but decided it was way too hot to do it then, and so picked a date they though would be cooler. They found out that the date we’d picked was the big day for Daria fans just as we were finishing up the last of the invites.
