SKAM Fic Love Fest | People
The last day of the Love Fest [@evaksbinder for details], and we’re focusing on the amazing people of this fandom! I feel like i have to preface this post by saying i just came off a full day of travel and I’m not feeling my best, so I don’t think I’ll be able to execute my original plan for today =/ it would be a crime not to show the people who have made this fandom experience something I will never forget some appreciation though! So here we go! I’m gonna shout out just a couple friends who deserve some love!
@evakuality is a very old fandom friend and holds a very special place in my heart. I still can’t believe ‘its been almost three years???? We’ve been through so much bullshit, but I’m so glad we’re still here facing all the other bullshit together!! Not only are you one of my best fandom friends, but you’ve also been one of the most supportive people when it comes to my writing. I can’t tell you how much it means to me; all i can really do is thank you for all that you’ve done for me. <3
@call-this-a-mask + @hotchocolatenthusiast y’all aren’t very active in SKAM fandom anymore but i literally can’t think of this fandom without thinking of my friendship with you guys. I mean, your IMPACT, guys. Kathi co-founding the binder with me?? So many amazing AU ideas and hcs that came out of our cracky rambles??? Countless unforgettable conversations and memories???? This friendship has to be hands down one of the best things that has come out of being in this fandom for me, and I feel so very grateful that even though you’re not as into the show anymore you still keep me around lol. Not to be sappy on main [that’s my secret; i”M ALWAYS SAPPY] but this is a friendship for LIFE my dudes. I sincerely hope it stays that way. <3
@offbeat-leah can you believe we’ve only been friends for a few months???? It feels SO MUCH LONGER than that, I can’t even express. You’re one of the kindest most supportive people i know and it’s amazing that I know without a doubt I can come to you about basically anything!!! I mean even beyond fandom stuff, I know I’ve bitched to you about basically everything under the sun lol. I’m really really happy we got to talking, it’s so wonderful to know someone who I can relate to so, so much. You’re wonderful and I love you. <3
@juilawicker I don’t get starstruck anymore when you talk to me lol but I haven’t yet outgrown the feeling that I am immeasurably lucky to know you and your talents and just YOU. You’ve got to be one of the most talented writers I’ve ever met in fandom, EVER, and I just know you’re going to do amazing and beautiful things with those talents. Even beyond that, you’re just one of the brightest, loveliest people I know!! I’m not exaggerating when I say every message I get from you puts a smile on my face. You’re just THAT POWERFUL. Thank you for just… being you honestly. The world is all the better for it. <3
@tristealven + @crazyheartfics + @kapplebougher we’ve also only been talking for a short while but I value the space we’ve created for ourselves so much!!! I know this might sound kind of crazy but I actually really enjoy waking up to 200-300+ messages lol. We’ve had so much fun and I feel really lucky to know you guys! I hope we continue to talk long into the future!! <3
@skamz I’m just including you so I can publically call you out for your football AU. JK I LOVE YOU A LOT AND YOU’RE SO FUCKING NICE AND HILARIOUS AND JUST ALL AROUND A WONDERFUL HUMAN BEING AND I LOVE TALKING TO YOU! I JUST NEEDED YOU TO KNOW THAT! KTHXBYE!!!! <3
Finally, @arindwell you deserve an essay of your own honestly. What can I even say? Esteemed co-mod of the binder, incredibly insightful beta reader who also puts up with so much with my bullshit it’s unbelievable, and at this point one of my dearest friends here. I mean, wow. You are so many things all at once, and that’s so admirable to me. It’s honestly kind of rare to find a person you feel like you can be 100% yourself around and talk to about basically anything but you are definitely one of those people for me. Thank you so much, friend, for everything. <3
