And then I hear the song again just now and, VOI-FUCKING-LA, the ending changes! Changes so completely that I was chills from head to toe! I had to go add more notes!

Oh, and did I mention how much angst this story is going to contain? I mean, my house rules still stand, but shit. This thing is fucking ripping my heart out, okay?

And don’t even start about how all three WIPs are basically a triptych of May/December Mentor/Protege Praise!Kink stories. I know. I KNOW.

Do you know Lori Petty? Did the two of you cook this up together somehow? I wouldn’t put it past TankedMuse (the Lori-Petty-as-Tank-Girl-shaped Muse that has lived with me for 25 years now) to have reached out, especially since I have been actively AVOIDING the Mirandy fandom because it’s just a little predictable for me, isn’t it? I mean, come on.

Then @xvnot15 posted all those Mirandy fics helpfully broken out by trope/topic. And then @chilly-flame wrote several brilliant hurt/comfort Mirandy fics that I had never read because I was avoiding the entire fandom, and then, well, I was fucked.

So... All of this to say THANK YOU, because this is the first album I have ever in my whole life pre-ordered, which I did because of its absolutely historic nature, and then it turns out it’s freaking brilliant. You’re brilliant. Truly. 

I mean, I knew you were good but this is next level shit.

I have a lot of albums of yours to buy now. Luckily, I have the means to do it, too.

And thank you to @xvnot15 and @chilly-flame, too. Sharp Relief and By Heart were both decadent brilliance and I don’t think I could have reasonably expected stories so perfectly suited to me had I given you the prompts myself.

(And don’t think you’re getting out of anything here, @fictorium. Your AO3 page with all your Mirandy is bookmarked on my iPad, waiting.) 

And finally, thank you to @fullmetalswift, whose post about Folklore and how it was being released let me know it was even a thing. If I hadn’t have seen that post with the link to Taylor’s page, I wouldn’t have pre-ordered the album and I wouldn’t be where I am now - which is basically overflowing with writing ideas, something I legitimately thought was in my past. 

So, thank you. To all of you.
