[janewithawhy]

About my previous comment, I'm sorry, I mistook you for someone else, still, I love your fics. :) Thanks again for your reply.

No worries! It happens more often than you think :) thank you for the kind words and I hope you find that author to tell them you miss their work!

I wish you didn't delete "Sounds of Silence" from Ao3. While I may not know but, nevertheless, understand your reasons, I just wanted to say that I really loved that fic. Thanks for your time.

Sorry bud, I’ve never deleted anything from AO3 so whichever fic “Sound of Silence” was, I was not the author who deleted it 😔

Was reading a thread on Black-owned bookstores getting slammed by by-lines falsely stating they can’t keep up with orders (the reality is that amazon has made 2-day shipping a normal thing and everyone is ordering the same 5 “anti-racist” books), and realized the real life person I based a bookstore owner on had shared it in the first place! Excellent characterization of my own friends, amazing.

I just read “Hallowed Be Thy Name” by @janewithawhy and I can’t get this scene out of my heaaad! Well, I hope I did it justice. I tried to apply the author’s seams imagery, I dont know if I pulled it off. Hahahah

Holy crap! It’s happened a few times but I always feel so incredibly lucky to be an author whose work is enjoyed so much that people make art about it! 

Stay safe, sane, and healthy friends--and when you’re bored, read catholic guilt AUs (and book AUs and wedding AUs and... you know, stuff that isn’t also written by me haha).

wait does sg have angst now

A friend asked if I had read every book that was mentioned in my fic, “Pages for Her”. I said no, but between myself and my partner, we have read all of these books and we also own all of these books. We have a lot of bookshelves in our small apartment. Someday we’d like to have a library. She teaches 8th grade english, for anybody wondering.
