Welcome to Electrolicious, the private personal blog of Ariel Meadow Stallings

I founded Electrolicious in 2000, and while blogging publicly for almost a decade was fucking awesome, in Spring 2009 I decided to do my personal writing in a more intimate space. Electrolicious is now visible only to approved registered members. If you're interested in applying to become a member, you can contact me.

Although Elish is private, I still publish stuff all over the web. Here are some of my latest updates from elsewhere:

Hey there. I'm Ariel Meadow Stallings, a native Seattleite who's written my way up and down the Left Coast. Electrolicious is where I write privately, but I also publish stuff online for a living. My first book, Offbeat Bride, published in 2007 with a second edition released in 2010.
