“I would like to slurp up your writing style like spaghetti.”

“I am going to fill your shoes with legos.”

“WhY wOuLd YoU dO tHiS tO mE— (that’s a compliment. Please continue to do this to me.)”

“A little bit of torture. As a treat.”

“You seNT ME THE GOOD SMUT!”

“Horrible. Terrible. I love it. Give me more.”

90% of the time when I’ve sent someone a pre-read/wip link I end up sitting up in bed at like 12:27 AM cackling at the off the walls things that are sent back. And I love it.

Sometimes when I write it’s hard for me to actually process what I’m writing. If you read a handful of MIC stories you’ll easily pick up on my penchant for run on sentences, stream of consciousness during stressful scenes, or the choppy insert of a period in the middle of an otherwise normal sentence to denote where the POV or the reader would likely stutter or stumble due to the shear horror/shock/impact of seeing or feeling or hearing something visceral.

Those are great and fun and all but after you spend a week or more reading, rereading, listening to and picking over the same stuff, it can start looking very wrong. My current wip does need to cut back on the run ons, but besides that I saw the entire piece as just weird feeling and weird reading until I went through for an edit run and gave it out again and got some fun responses. I took a nap, a shower, walked the doggo and came back and read it start to finish again and found that my brain accepted the flow was indeed better. Because if two people said it was good then I guess it has to be decent at least!

Still no end on it yet and it’s gonna need a few more edit runs to iron out those outrageously just Extra sentences, but wanted to publicly acknowledge all the nice people here that are kind to me and help me out. MVPs of an already very MPV group. And thank you to any and everyone that reads and spreads the word of the weird and wild take of Modern Inheritance and engages with my whack brain going on benders!!

I currently do not have one single coherent thought in my mind other than AAAAAAAAAAH (and I'd argue that that one is hardly coherent anyway)

I'll come back to shower you with compliments once I regain my sanity but for now I'm just gonna tell you that I CANNOT wait for the sequel and I must now find a way to occupy my time while I wait for you to write what I'm sure is gonna be your next masterpiece

how do you expect people to get on with their lives after they've read SOTME is beyond me; I must now find a new obsession because my brain will be eating itself if I keep thinking about SOTME!Jily and I will be undoubtedly disappointed because I know for a fact that it's gonna be impossible for me to find a fic that rivals yours and makes me feel the way SOTME made me feel.

alas, this is not the last you'll see of me, I'll be back to torment you with praise very soon, I'm afraid

(I can only send asks from my main account sadly)

Oh, sweetheart! This is so, so, so, kind of you and I am so honoured that you would shower my fic with so much love.

The only thing I can say is: SOTME (and now KUBME) are constantly on my mind. I did that to myself too and spend a lot of my time screaming internally, because I think: “What am I doing to my babies? What am I doing to all of you? What am I doing to myself?”

So, at least you’re not alone? 😅

P.s. Please come back. You are fab! 😘

OMG!!!  SWEETEST NONNIE EVER!!!I’m so sorry it’s taken me ages to reply to all my Asks!!!

Sadly, my LifePirate is not down for a poly-marriage, so I’ll have to respectfully decline your proposal.  But I am BEYOND FLATTERED by your praise <3<3<3

And I am delighted to know that my series resonates with you!  I’ve put a lot of my heart and soul (and blood and tears) into these stories.  I wanted to show a realistic healing journey--full of setbacks and small victories and hard work.  I wanted to see angels full of love and mercy and compassion (and sometimes snark, sass, and wit).  And I wanted our boys to have a freaking chance to work through their traumas!

I love to tell stories!  My mind is a mixed bag most days though lol!!  But I’ve been “writing fanfic” in my head since before I could actually write.  Before there was a name for it.  I told myself stories to sleep or escape the world.  Discovering an entire community that ACTUALLY wrote those stories down and shared them was life-changing (oh the days when the internet was all directories and forums...and fics were in ‘zines). 

The endgame is a looooong ways away.  And even when we reach it, I’m developing a sequel series with an adult angel!Sam!!  THIS WILL NEVER END!!

Thanks for sharing!

HEY THANKS A LOT!

I definitely make an effort for the posts to be visually interesting and accessible - easily skimmable, and not too long, but with enough info in case you don’t click through. I bold the important parts, add fun reactions where appropriate, etc. I appreciate that you noticed!

HEY THANKS FOR WRITING!!! YOU’RE SO WELCOME!

This message is anon, so I don’t know which account this is, but readers FYI, I do a lot of following based on:

- When I check my daily or weekly or monthly stats, if I see an account in my top followers that shares similar content to my blog, I’ll follow. 

- Because I’ve done so many posts (this post is #14,102, over 5 years), I only see a fraction of the comments that people make on my posts, but if I do see an interesting or funny note, I’ll check the account and same as above: if there’s even a little overlap in content, I’ll follow.

THINGS I LOVE

- My Tumblr followers. All of them and especially supportive fans! I have a good memory for usernames, so if you are reblogging my content a lot, I see it and I’M GRATEFUL. I regularly reblog mutuals when I can (when I see relevant posts by them in my feed).

- The Tumblr community. The fact that there is a such a large community of folks on this site sharing important feminist and gender content and ideas every day. 

THANKS AGAIN AND ALL THE LOVE IN THE WORLD

Hey thanks for writing! Readers, we’re talking about this post.
