It is now 7pm and the wind has picked up quite a bit, the rain is pretty heavy now. Landfall is predicted for nine pm - two am. The brother managed to get wood and friends came over to help put it up. He has been manic about getting prepped.

Just had a full house shake, felt it in the ground.

I didn’t want to let this day go by without sending a note of thanks to the fanfic writers out there. I hope everyone is doing well and taking care of themselves. As a reader, I have been a little bit up-and-down this year. Every year I set up goals for my reading. Sometimes I reach them and sometimes not so much. I’ve been overly critical of myself and how I reblog this year. Sometimes I send really long messages in my reblogs and I feel like I can’t keep that same pace. Especially when I’m reading a series. Other times I feel that I’m not being original with my wording and struggle to find what I want to say without being repetitive. While I second-guess what I’m doing, I have actually lost some fics I’ve meant to reblog. I have followed more people and sometimes I worry I miss out on some of your great writing. I try to go through my list from time to time to see what I might have missed and to re-read fics that meet some kind of need or just resonate with me. Even though I don’t know you, I am always astounded by your willingness to share your works and your lives with us. You put yourselves out there for us and it never fails that somebody has to say something completely uncalled for or rude. Every time I read that, my heart hurts for you. We’ve lost a lot of good writers this year because of this nonsense. I hope you all know that there are so many more of us that support you. We all understand the need to take a break sometimes and care for yourselves. Whether or not I say it, I worry about you when you are quiet and hope all is well. This year I am hoping to not be as cautious. I want to reblog the things I like, no matter the content or subject. Also, I think I’m going to try to send more asks to show my appreciation. My hope is for you to find inspiration to write what you like and what moves you. I also hope that you find success, peace and happiness in all that you do. 

I always worry about who I do and do not tag in this kind of post. This is certainly not an exhaustive list but I wanted to acknowledge a few writers that have made my day a little brighter.

Thank you for taking the time to write and post your works 💜

Dear @tilltheendwilliwrite,

I’m writing in here and posting this as a text ‘cause I don’t think an ask box would be enough. Today I read the last chapter of To Dance Amongst Stars, and as I usually do when you finish a book of this series I’m going back and I’ll read everything one more time (It’ll be like, the tenth time I do this, I honestly lost count), but honestly, Is never tiring to read it all again, every time I notice a new detail, I imagine a scenario with more realism, and every time It astounds and brings forward a new feeling in me. 

I don’t know if i can speak for all of your followers and non-followers, actually everyone that reads Blessings of Magic: The Norn’s Goddess, that this is the masterpiece of masterpieces, this books, this chapters, every line that I read, no matter how many times, always brings forward tons of feelings, like everytime I read it, the feeling enhances.

‘Till this day I remember when i found the first book, you were not even ten chapters in and I was just looking for another Loki fic or one shot, but instead i found the universe that I didn’t know that i needed, and ‘till this day and forward i know tha you’ll astound us with this series even when It’s over.

I hope you realize through this babbling how much I love your writing, how much I love this series, and how dearly they are for me, I will always hold It in my heart, in a special room with altars for all the books, surrounded by pictures of the main characters, familiars, everyone including you, the person responsible for my tears, my laughs that makes my family look at me like I’m crazy, my puppy eyes, my theory making at 3am, my fears when they’re in danger, my happiness when they’re where they’re supposed to be, my sorrow when certain things happen (you know what I’m talking about), and the pure awe and fascination when Lauren sings even though I’m not there to witness, but every single time is a blow to the heart and a longing that won’t ever be appeased ‘cause if one day you decide to publish them and the end up turned into a movie, or a TV show (which I, personally, think it would be better), It would never be the same, I think and maybe I’m wrong, but who knows.

I just wanted to let you know how strongly you make me feel with your words, and how dearly it is to me, someday I wish to give you a really tight hug, then look deep in your eyes and say Thank You, for everytime I felt left out, ignored, not enough, sad, not willing to get out of bed, your books were there to show me a whole new world, an escape of the real world and connect me with people who inspire me, even though they are fictional, live in my head, and occasionnaly their alter egos come out to talk to me hahahaha

But seriously, thank you SO much for being who you are, for having this gift of writing, and for deciding to share it with us. I hope one day I can thank you in person.

Lots of love, xoxo

P.S.: I’m sorry about this ginormous pile of babbling, I’m not good with words to thrill people like you.. sorry <3

P.S.S.: I just want to leave this quote here, ‘cause it express a lot of what i meant, in case you didn’t understand in the middle of all the babbling hahahaha

“Isn't it odd how much fatter a book gets when you've read it several times?" Mo had said..."As if something were left between the pages every time you read it. Feelings, thoughts, sounds, smells...and then, when you look at the book again many years later, you find yourself there, too, a slightly younger self, slightly different, as if the book had preserved you like a pressed flower...both strange and familiar.”

It was a poor response. Everyone had the right to be upset about the app. AO3 didnt give them permission. AO3 told them when they originally started the app and tried to use their name and colors that they couldnt. You werent a bully. You were very polite in your request to have your stuff taken down. 

Even if the money went to maintaining the app, they need the work to have the app and no one gave permission for the work to be put on there parsing it or not.
