Hi! I’ve been following you since so many years ago, it feels nostalgic to think about it. I love all of the capwidow fanfics you’ve written (and all of your work, actually!) and I don’t think I could ever thank you enough for the good time I’ve had reading those things. I hope you’re doing great, I hope life is treating you well and that you keep doing that amazing art you do with your writting. I was wondering if you might be on other social networks like twitter/x? Would be fun having you as a mutual. :) thank you again and hope to read at least a little something about Steve/Natasha some day again!

Ahh, thank you so much for taking the time to send this! It forever warms my heart to know that some of you are still thinking of me or even remember me after so many years, especially being as inactive as I am on this specific platform. The encouragement and positivity around my writing that I received from readers like you are what made me want to pursue my dream of being an author because you made it feel tangible! I will admit I haven't made it nearly as much of a priority as I should've since I stepped back from this platform and writing fanfics, but it's still a very real dream of mine that I have all of you to thank for encouraging me!

If anyone wants updates on here, I will try to be more active about it! If and when I launch my email newsletter list, I'll have it on here if anyone from my fanfic journey wants to follow my writing journey. But for now, you can also find me on:

Do you know of any fan comics/doujinshi of bat cat smut I mean there must be some out there right? I just can’t find any

I'm sorry, I don't know of any! But I agree, I'm sure there must be some out there, and I wish you luck in finding them!

hi!! I was the last post you responded to. I would love to read absolutely anything you write and I’m so excited for you to be published. I’m actually a writer as well :-) I would really love to keep in touch. Please keep us updated on your writing journey.

Ahh, that's so exciting to hear that you're a writer too! I want to share way more about what I'm writing, and though that likely won't be anytime soon because I've pivoted quite a bit, I hope you (and some of my other readers) will still be around to see the updates when the time comes!

I just wanted to let you know that I think I started reading your Young Justice fanfiction a when season 2 was coming out which must have been around 10 years ago or so and I still remember them fondly to this day.

I’m sorry about whatever made you delete your account off of fanfiction.net but I really hope you’re doing well. Thanks for writing and sharing those stories with us :-)) They were amazing and such a crucial part of my childhood. If I think about it too long I start tearing up. I just wanted to let you know what an impact you’ve made on me, and I’m sure a ton of other people as well.

This message absolutely made me tear up! It honestly still shocks me when someone says they remember my Young Justice days, let alone that they're so attached to what I wrote and remember any of it, because you're right, that was definitely over a decade ago. It's touching to know I made that kind of impression on you even way back then, when I was only barely starting to take my own writing as something serious. Even though I left the fandom and deleted all of those fics impulsively and abruptly, I have so many fond memories of being a part of that fandom that well outweigh the not-so-fond ones that culminated into me leaving, and that's because of all the excitement and encouragement I received from fellow fans like yourself! It was the very first steps of my love of writing becoming a tangible thing I could one day pursue.

I hope you might find yourself a reader of mine once more when I become a published author, but even if not, I'm honored to have been a part of your childhood and the memories you have of that fandom. I am incredibly flattered and touched to have heard from you! I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to send this to me even after all these years!

I cannot remember but I'm pretty sure it was you who wrote a firefighter AU...where Steve is a single dad and Nat loves him but at some point he asks her to babysit because he's going on a date with Sharon. I have been going insase over this...

I'm not sure if this was me? I mean, I've written a lot of Steve and Natasha, and I've explored a lot of different things, so I'm sure there are a handful of fics I've just forgotten about - but the premise of this doesn't quite sound like something I'd write. I don't think I played around with Sharon as part of a love triangle much, if ever, because I absolutely hate love triangles.

I'm sorry this wasn't much help, but I hope you're able to find it, though!

hi! I just wanted to tell you that I’ve read your young justice fanfics (my favorites were jason and bette kane but really I adored them ALL) since I was VERY young, just as YJ season 2 was coming out.

I am 21 now, after having moved to LA and from there to NYC and your stories still touch me. I was really sad when I went to look on fanfiction.net and saw that your stories were deleted. I still think about them after all these years and one of my favorite things about watching YJ was reading your fanfics. Thank you so much.

I love, love, love this message so much and it made me so happy from the bottom of my heart! I will forever be grateful to Young Justice and the community I found myself a part of through writing fanfiction for it. You (and all of my other readers!) were the first ones to make me feel like I could genuinely write for a living like I always dreamt of, and while the road to that goal has been longer than I anticipated, it's more alive than ever! I hope I get to share my writing again with you sooner than later!

And I've mentioned this multiple times, but while part of me did not regret my impulsive decision and the circumstances around it to completely purge all of my Young Justice fanfiction, I do regret that I didn't preserve it for me to revisit and possible reshare with all of you. I've wanted to recreate them or revamp them several times over the years, knowing I could never perfectly rewrite them but also knowing that I've become a better writer since writing them and could approach them in a fresh light.

And though the chances are incredibly slim, I would be lying if I said that something like that is off the table completely. I've dearly missed writing fanfiction, and the particular ships and fandoms I've written for have been long inactive or have changed dramatically that I feel significantly less pressure than I did before to make bigger and better fics when I felt like I'd written it all and ran out of ideas.

Anyway, thank you for letting me ramble! Your message was such a beautiful surprise for me and I cannot express how happy I am that you took the time to send it!

Just wondering! Do you still read on AO3, and if you do, are there any works you would recommend? Thanks!

I'm sorry, I don't really read on AO3 at the moment for any fandom and I haven't for quite a while, so I don't have any recs.
