When I included an @discoveringmiraculouswriters on my writing blog recap a couple weeks back, I somehow did not expect them to actually go through my tumblr and reblog some of my stuff. This past Tuesday, when I mentioned that, I got a comment asking me to send them the rest of my long list of ML fics. I... I don’t promote myself easily. I always feel tacky and cocky like “Oh, my stuff is so great. Everyone should read it” spoken in the most haughty voice you can imagine. I dunno, when I’m asked for good stuff to read, I find it easier to say “this fic - by another person - is amazing and needs more love” but I cannot find the courage to be like “my stuff’s pretty good. Wanna try it?” And I LOVE my work. I’m one of the few writers I know who actively goes back and re-reads my stuff because I ENJOY it. I also get fairly resounding reviews (because my readers are amazing and I love you all) where the common theme of the comments are something to the effect of “you write them so in character; I felt like I was reading an episode script.” So why can’t I suggest my stuff to others??? Well, one of the admins of discoveringmiraculouswriters - @veroocasanova - was very encouraging and kind while asking me to forward my stuff over, and it helped me get over my mental block (for that one DM at least...) Since then, I believe they have reblogged (or at least queued) just about everything I have ML related.  And I’ve been getting notes! I mean, in the grand scheme of things, it’s not a LOT of likes/reblogs for Tumblr standards, but I think I’ve had like 5 each for a couple of my stories; within one day. I don’t have a large followship, so that’s kinda major for me! I even gained 9 new followers, potentially because of my stuff being shared on discoveringmiraculouswriters. So, thank you to all of the admins who run that blog:  @clawsout83​ @volpinarena​ @sadrienaline​ @buginettez​ and @veroocasanova​ You are all so super awesome, and you really are doing so much for us little-known and barely-viewed writers. Thank you for taking the time, and putting in the effort. You are beautiful people.

Thank you :’D

Secrets about “Let’s Stop Before It Gets Messy”:

Like most stories I write, this was a result of married-in-vegas! spite fic for another fandom that escalated into something... else. Honestly, I also always wanted to do an accidental marriage au, but the more I wrote, the more in-depth it went and suddenly Adrien and Marinette knew each other beforehand, and it was an in-canon universe story where they broke up BECAUSE they found out each other’s secret identities.

Thanks for the ask!

K: What’s the angstiest idea you’ve ever come up with?

Enduring probably has the angstiest ideas at its core, but Iam fairly fond of the last two angst ficlets I’ve done, Shadows and Easter Eggs.
