so I see someone already asked the "haven't seen you around in a while, you ok?" question, lol. ok, take care!!

Haha, yup, someone asked me already, but thank you for asking again! ❤ I'm doing pretty much okay - had a few rougher weeks a little while back due to illness and all, but much better now! I've just been away from fandom and tumblr for a couple of months - not through any conscious decision or anything, just got wrapped up in lots of other stuff at home and at work so it just... happened. I'm sure I'll be back at some point, though! How are you doing? I hope things are going well for you!

I realized it's been a while since seeing anything from you. Just wanted to say hi and send good vibes. Hope you're doing okay

Hey friend, thanks for the message and for checking in. It's... been a while, hasn't it? I think I was posting here about up until Star Trek Discovery ended, and after that... well, I've been ill on and off for a couple of weeks, and kind of in energy-conservation mode for that and a couple of other reasons, which is how I ended up going into fannish hibernation for a while. I hope, once my health (and maybe the weather - it feels like this winter's lasted long enough already) improves and my energy levels are back up, I'll be more active around fannish spaces again. Again, thank you so much for thinking of me - and I hope you're well too. Take care! ❤

What it says on the tin: an Annie Blackburn fest on “I’m fine” day (give or take the usual fuzzy chronology… by my math it adds up to March 28th-ish)

The point is to reinsert Annie in the “25 years later” narrative canvas loosely painted by the third season (before, during or after it)

I think there’s plenty of interesting takes to be had while maintaining The Final Dossier’s Annie situation, but feel free to ignore it partially or completely

wrt the rest of Peaks canon, go as wild with inaccuracies as Mark Frost would want you to, but this project started from the question “why the heck isn’t Annie in TPTR, it’s not like it’d take rocket science, you could easily put her anywhere???” so I would prefer no full upheavals of overall canon

It should go without saying but an Annie fest is an Annie-positive event. Tragedies, yes, because Annie because Twin Peaks; bashing, no

Your post can be anything a Tumblr post can be. Art, fic, meta, all the usual suspects and then some

Please tag it #annieisfine so I can find it and reblog it here on @countdowntotwinpeaks

That’s it folks! See you on the 28th to show everyone just how fine Annie is!

Well, I didn't get as much sleep as I'd have liked to and my head is still killing me, but it's going to be a sunny day and my fic got recced on Dreamwidth by someone whose opinion means a lot to me so that's nice.

... yeah, I'd just like to cancel today, please and thank you

“Some periods of our growth are so confusing that we don’t even recognize that growth is happening. We may feel hostile or angry or weepy and hysterical, or we may feel depressed. It would never occur to us, unless we stumbled on a book or a person who explained to us, that we were in fact in the process of change, of actually becoming larger, spiritually, than we were before. Whenever we grow, we tend to feel it, as a young seed must feel the weight and inertia of the earth as it seeks to break out of its shell on its way to becoming a plant. Often the feeling is anything but pleasant. But what is most unpleasant is the not knowing what is happening. Those long periods when something inside ourselves seems to be waiting, holding its breath, unsure about what the next step should be, eventually become the periods we wait for, for it is in those periods that we realize that we are being prepared for the next phase of our life and that, in all probability, a new level of the personality is about to be revealed.”

Blegh, I've been ill since Thursday evening and it's one of those annoying viruses that don't quite leave you in a shape where you can't function at all but still enough body parts (throat, ears, head) are hurting that every little thing you do feels ten times more exhausting than it normally does...

Happy Twin Peaks day! The Blue Rose hot alien generational turnover also includes absolutely adoring Albert Rosenfield, it seems.

Happy birthday to the dearest of friends @laughingpinecone! So glad for your friendship and enthusiasm and support. Wishing you a year of hopefully smooth (or at least smoother) sailing!! ❤

i don't know if i could pick just one favourite, but your older twin peaks fics are especially important to me because you were one of the authors who made me fall in love with albert after my first viewing of the show. i didn't have strong feelings about him the first time around, but then i went and devoured all the fic i could find, and came out of it loving albert rosenfield

Thank you so much, anon! Knowing that I contributed to someone loving Albert more than they might have otherwise is the best possible thought... ❤
