Hey, I hope this isn’t too weird of a thing to say, since we don’t know each other that well. But over the past few years that I’ve been in the Dreamwidth community, I’ve seen the struggles that you’ve gone through from a distance, and I just really admire how much effort you’ve put into working on yourself and giving back to the community even with those roadblocks in place.
Coming from a source like VtM to a life that's so wildly different, plus dealing with health problems and managing the Dreamwidth – that first thing sounds way more difficult and disorienting than anything I’ve ever had to process re: fictionkind identity, and I’m impressed and grateful that you’ve continued to be a presence in the community and done your best to help others regardless. The fact that it’s such a different experience from ours means we don’t always know what to say, or feel like there’s much we can do to help, but we *have* been paying attention, and we’ve developed a lot of fondness and respect for you. When Erik and I said we wanted to take some of the weight off your shoulders, we really did mean it, and we really do hope we’ll be able to, because you deserve it.

Thank you. I really do appreciate this a lot. It has been an immense amount of work, but it has been fulfilling, and I'm glad that it has helped someone. :] Thank you for stepping up to help me with the Dreamwidth. It really does matter to me.
