-> after time away following a plagiarism situation, this blog is officially under construction with the hope of being revived for future fanfiction publication.

thank you for your time, patience, and understanding.

guess what i'm doing? just like old times, am smooching your forehead repeatedly. oh, what a good fic! that was one of my favorites, too.

it's sad that people are out here plagiarizing in the age of AI, but hey, i'm trying to take it as a compliment that my shit is so good that, like any parasite, they just had to live in it.

is it lame as hell? 10000% does it come with the territory of posting online, for free? sadly. but i miss it dearly. time will tell what i decide.

lettuce pray the crops are bountiful this season!

(this gave me a good chuckle, thank you)

I hope that one day you'll find the perfect place to show the world your work.

oh, my heart. thank you, sweetheart. that was a personal favorite of mine, too!! i am searching for ways to feel comfortable again, we'll see where i land.

Selfishly, I hope you start posting again but that's just me.

thank you, poppet.

it's incredible, the way people have felt so strongly about the situation to send me a message, commenting on it. thank you. i'm searching for ways to adjust my comfort and just kinda deal with the idea that... i can't do shit about it. majority of you guys are A1, but it only takes a few to taint the many.

unfortunately, unless you have access to my personal laptop, no. however, i'm going through all i saved, editing here and there, and debating if i want to repost anything.

i'll just address it here!!

i think i want to start writing again. i miss it, life's been abhorrent lately that i think i need my healthy coping habits back, and it honestly felt good to produce some kind of creative medium since i don't get to do that much anymore.

however, i'm searching for a way to protect my writing from plagiarism. not entirely sure i'm actually able to do so; since this is a public platform and there's no real copy write protection, it comes with the territory of posting online.

i appreciate you so much. what the fuck is right. i think i'm genuinely starting to feel bad for the innocent readers more than i'm angry about my work being stolen. maybe i should look at it as flattery and just...move on? thoughts are being thunk.

excellent question. but why would i do that? so more vultures can steal it? pretend it's their own? and then have people come to me, saying someone stole my work, but then won't tell me WHO / their username so i can't do anything about it.

look for my coming post, i'll address a few things!!

At first, I genuinely thought it might be you reposting your work there, especially since your Tumblr is no longer active, but after looking more closely, I’m fairly certain it isn’t. I completely understand if you’d rather not get involved, but I did want to let you know since the account is receiving praise for the work as if it were original.

I’m not sure what options are available, especially since the original posts were deleted, though some of it may still exist through reblogs. Either way, I just felt it was right to inform you. If you need any details please let me know!

drop the username, babes!! you’re so fucking real for bringing this to my attention.

y’all see why I stopped publishing? fucking vultures are still picking at the carcass of the work I’ve already taken down. which means, they’re SO obsessed with me, they had my shit already saved.

pathetic.

drop the username — then I say we all go bombard them with plagiarism claims. diabolical timing cause I was beginning to debate writing again 🥴

I was looking through my angst tag and ran across a link to the Aemond-Clingy baby fic and then remembered the series. Then I excitedly clicked because it had been sooo long since I've re-read and maybe there might be some new fics with other characters.

ALSO the last few days, I've been scrolling my Star Trek browser bookmarked fics and in my feelings over all the history that is just...gone. The stories lost to the sands of time forever because the websites they were housed on are no more and there wasn't time for archiving.

Then I click into Clingy baby and instead I read your pinned post and what the fuck!? Fucks sakes I'm so sorry you went through this bull shit. Plagiarism!? On the internet??? Like no one was going to notice?! That's genuinely ridiculous.

Nevertheless, thanks for sharing your work with us! That post after I waded through dead links of KSArchive is deeply saddening. Fanauthors and artists are so important to fandoms!! There are MULTIPLE shows I've never watched, but I've read enough fics, watched enough gifs, and gazed upon enough fan art that I KNOW whats going on. I know the main plots, I know the histories and I know these characters. And I know them not from the original writers but from fan-creators sharing their work online!! Idk, there's something sacred in creating and something sacred in sharing those creations for little to no actual gain. Purely the love of the characters.

This is all over the place, which I do apologize for! Really just sending love your way. I hope that you're doing well after all of this. Thank you for the many insomniac nights that featured some of your work!! This must've been fucking harrowing and I hope that you are still creating, even if in a different way. Anyways!! I imagine an authors brain doesn't just turn off! So next time you're envisioning a story just imagine the gaggle of us Tumblrinas (gn) popping up Devil on your shoulder style and loudly gasping, liking, and reblogging with wild ass tags. Hell or if you're not writing anymore- next time you do something you're proud of imagine our quiet support!

Wishing you all the best!

you're so very sweet, thank you so very kindly. and for whatever it might be worth, you're welcome. love the idea of a gaggle of devils on my shoulder, whispering like gossipy old hens.

Im normally so shy, and I would never try to force religion on anyone. For some reason I felt I should reach out to you. Please pray for her. My grandmother is a Christian, but her life hasn’t been all sunshine and rainbows like how some of them make it out to be. She’s been through so much, even way before her health problems and has always seemed to find a way to trust in Jesus. I just need prayers right now.

your grandmother will be in my thoughts, sweetness! and so will you, it's not easy dealing with something like this. should you need it, my inbox is always open.

They got me through Eddie’s death in 2022 and I lost my account where I kept all my liked fics!

If they are gone forever, I will cry!

sorry, sweetness, they're gone for now!!

but honestly, i’m trying to keep it light and remind myself that i’m tougher than i think and that this is just another thing to get through. we’ve both survived way too much already for this to be what takes us out 😤

sending you lots of love, and i hope you’re doing well! (i also CANNOTT wait for your future novel 🤭🤭🤭)

oh baby baby baby. i'm sorry i'm so late in my response, i was busy with life lifeing. however, if you ever need or want to talk, i'm always here! the thing i keep reminding myself: it's gonna help a lot more than it's supposed to hurt... or so they say.

Y E S you absolutely are so strong and you can - and will - get through this. we've survived every bad day, every "i can't do this", every unfair advantage. we're gonna get through this one, too - together, 'cause i'm right here with you. you aren't alone.

i'm sending you a big, wet forehead smooch. please, do NOT hesitate to reach out, ever.

ah what could've been, my sweet. never be afraid to interact with art of any degree - artists love that shit. it's never harmful and you can usually do it anonymously.

I’ll miss your stories, and the creativity you bring to the world. I hope you continue your adventures un-dampened by this terrible event and know that I’ll always remember the joy you brought me in your writing! 💜

thank you, sweetheart. i have no other words but thank you. you guys have truly come out with the support!!

i have other social medias but nothing connected to this blog any longer!!
