#tnoi

i do 😬 but it's slow 🐌

i have a swap AU idea (which i refuse to start until i close my other works) and this short sequel to wrap up things after the epilogue (but its been hovering at 5k words for the past two years and the only good thing about the delay is i can finally give a canon name for enid's doctor lmao):

Looking at Enid with concern, Dr. Fairburn continues. “You seem more…distressed as of late. With a higher sense of urgency with your progress. Any reason why?” She ignores the heat rushing to her face because Enid has never been comfortable talking about things like this. She’s confidently settled with her omega status, but this specific limitation to her body is still something she’s working on. She twists her wedding band around her finger, avoiding eye contact with Dr. Fairburn. “Wednesday’s off of her suppressants now. Completely.” Or, in which, Enid is determined to help Wednesday through her rut.

It's honestly got such hilarious parts in it, and the banter is so good! The relationships too are top tier. Everything's complicated, everything grey, nothing is simple or black and white, and I loved that!

I loved exploring with Enid as she tried to figure out her own feelings and how she grew and pushed others to grow with her so her relationships could thrive and be stronger.

This is one of the top Wenclair pieces out there, easily!

I read the authors note about the other entries in the series and am so excited to see how the world continues and the AU!Swap you have planned plays out.

hello! and omg lol i can't bring myself to read tnoi again (prob a combo of having read it so many times before and knowing there are some things i need to edit in it now that my writing is different) but i'm so glad to hear that! and um lol yes. the sequel and the AU will hopefully be out at some point when i get my shit together 😅

the sequel is such an eyesore in my drafts - one day i can hopefully just bash it all out instead of picking at it slowly every few months 🫠 and the AU swap....it's still brewing - i'm in two minds, always between "yes, this is amazing" and "no wtf is this crap"

The depth of world building in “the nature of idiosyncrasies” honestly swept me away. It left me a fragile leaf falling through chapters, enjoying every moment. And your lengthily-titled Eurovision fic? Ugh. How dare you show off your creative range. Splendid. Please never stop.

As for “our immeasurable ties that bind,” I don’t care how long it takes. I’d suffer an ice age for the next chapter. Wade through geological periods of boredom for each one after. An epoch for Io? Absolutely. Whatever it takes.

So yes. I finally had to say something. “Depravity leads to you” just reminded me of how much I adore your writing. Kudos to you! Every bloody one. May their carcasses litter the ground upon which you tread, like fluffy ergonomic cushions of gratitude. Thank you so much for writing. You rock! 🤘

this has been sitting in my inbox for a while, mainly because i don't have words to express how much i appreciate your words

honestly, i don't think i will ever have the words so all i can say is thank you 😊

just an fyi that i'm finally taking some time to go through and edit the nature of idiosyncrasies (grammar, punctuation, phrasing etc, nothing will change with the plot)

it'll be a gradual process so apologies if you notice any inconsistencies while i do this

tnoi was the first ff i posted on ao3 and looking back, i feel like a lot of it was me figuring out just how to write (particularly with the first 3 chaps 😅)

it took me a while to consider whether i wanted to spend time doing this or not, because while i do acknowledge that my writing style has changed (yay for growth, ig?) and i should prob leave some things be, there's def a few things in tnoi that i personally find glaringly...annoying ☠️

it's also a chance for me to fix the typos i know are there but never got around to doing so before (and i hope re-reading will help me shift the half-written draft of the sequel i have sitting around in my gdocs for over a year 👀)

the original ver (if for whatever reason anyone wants it) can be found here

It would be cute if you did something like that with ties that bind.

😌

also it's my favorite fic so thank you so much for writing omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it's proportional and wednesday is a small lady, soooo...

e.g.

“I mean…not that I’ve seen any in person, but I don’t think it was…huge? It was like…proportional?”

and

She’s not delusional or conceited enough to think or require any false flattery in regard to her appendage. Wednesday knows her own size is…commensurate.

I have to say, the way you write Wednesday in every fic makes me insane (in the best way possible). I would say this is the most close to canon Wednesday I've read. And the way you write about her thoughts and her emotions (tnoi is beast when it comes to this I still get all misty eyed when I read it) ...god if I ever see you IRL (I wouldn't know sadly 😂 but hypothetically) I would bound over and give you a big hug. And Wednesday after Enid is said to be dead in oittb..man, no words. Your Weds is a fav spot of wenclair fandom for me ♥️♥️

Hope you're getting better, take lots of rest and relax. We can wait an eternity for IO and reread your other ones 🫂

this is funny bcos honestly, i actually don't think my characterisation of her (or others) is very canon 😅 mainly bcos the entire addams family are quite satirical so i feel like when i humanise them to make them more realistic in my mind, it takes away from their canon forms 😬 but ig i enjoy writing this way and its all fanfic so why not 🤷‍♀️

but tysm for your super, super kind words!! ❤️❤️❤️ hopefully eternity is not needed for my next update 😊
