21, 23 for the fanfic asks!
21.Ā most memorable comment/review
on Election Day, someone left this comment on a post-finale Peggy/Stan Mad Men fic i wrote back in 2015:
this fic is still one of my favorites and i read it as a balm today. you really did get their characterization exactly right. a real work of art.
not only is it just a very sweet comment, it very much struck a chord with me because i was doing the exact same thingĀ on Election Day, reading some of my favorite comforting fics to help deal with my stress. this year, with both the world at large AND our usual source of escapism being a Total Fucking Mess, i have really come to realize how much i get out of knowing that something iāve written has brought some calm and comfort and happiness to someone out there whoās reading it.
23.Ā fics you wanted to write but didnāt
iāve answered this once, but obviously i have more answers to it because there are always 8 billion fics i think of and then donāt write every year. (also letās ignore the evergreen answer which is the cyrano romcom prompt you sent me like 3 years ago, ahem.) ANYWAY: my Palm Springs-inspired time loop fic. i have written some of it - over 4,000 words at this point, and it even has a title - but i wanted to finish it, and itās on pause as iāve been distracted by many other fic ideas in the meantime.
