have to say that i am SO impressed with your writing. i have read……… probably too much (LOL) fanfiction in my definitely over 15 years of indulging in and creating fan works, and though reading a good multi chaptered fic will never get old to me, something about chasing the limit has me biting my nails anxiously but also giggling and kicking my feet fr. i just got caught up with it, i’d literally be on my hr break at work eating my food as fast as possible so i could put my full attention on reading hahahahaha
you have such an impressive way of capturing human emotion in your characters. i love that you acknowledge that though they are good people, they are also complex and flawed and just…. so very human. i have been especially interested in keith as a character (biggest lance luvr ever here since 2016 tho) and am SO incredibly excited to see his path throughout the rest of the story. i’m loving how he’s slowly opening up to lance, slowly slowly slowly allowing himself to be more vulnerable with him. it makes me mushy and soft and like the way that when he was sick he just wanted lance to hold him and take care of him I WANTED TO ROLL OVER AND DIE god,,,,,, your mind is far too powerful i fear.
needed to go off a little about how talented you are and the unadulterated enjoyment chasing the limit has been bringing me lol
also — wishing nothing but the best to you about the oncoming of your future little one 🩷 i don’t have kiddos quite yet myself, though i do actually work with infants for 40 hours a week lol which is obviously different than being a full time parent ofc, but i can fully say that little ones can be hard but they bring so much genuine joy into the world. there will be stress, there will be tears (on both of your ends 🫡), but more than anything? there is so much love and fullness and pride for your heart. you will be an amazing parent, and i know your baby is going to grow up knowing the love you have. YOU CAN DO THIS 🩷
and ps., you have a lot going on rn, so don’t let anybody try and pressure you into getting ctl or anything out faster!!! take it slow, take your time, and don’t rush because your baby and your life comes first!!!!
Hi! Wow thank you SO MUCH for the message, it really made my day! Chasing the Limit has been such a fun project and it's been really wild to have such a positive response. We didn't think anyone would read it, and honestly I regard myself as a pretty mid writer 😅 I'm so happy to hear that you're enjoying it that much!!! It lives rent free in my brain all the time and it means a lot that you particularly like the characterization and character development, that's probably what I care about most in my writing!
Thank you for the well wishes 🥰🥰🥰 I have never in my life been so excited for a tiny human to decimate my sleep schedule and make me worry 24/7 for pretty much the rest of my existence. I love her so much already!
And fwiw I think working 40 hrs a week with infants totally counts as experience even if it's not parenthood. I worked at a preschool for short stint a long time ago in college and remember asking my mom "how do parents do this 24/7???" and she responded "they send them to preschool" 😂 I also think the additional element of there being a whole gaggle of them cannot be overlooked. Being outnumbered by toddlers is humbling.
Thanks for the PS-- and most people are being nice about it! Honestly there's nothing that could be done to speed up or slow down our whole process, it just is what it is when it comes to having free time or not as an adult lol...
