Uhh... sorry, not sorry for absolutely FILLING your notifications the past two-ish hours with reblogs and likes. Read up to chapter 29 of NM and got distracted trying to set up my research into if you were okay for after I finished by your blog.

Considering you haven't updated since 2021 you probably won't see this but... who knows! Still technically active and I myself came back to my blog after a solid 5-10 year gap so this might haunt you inbox for a good long while. <3

I did see you answered an ask about probably not continuing NM and possibly posting an outline of the rest what you had plus your chapter plus change you had. That would be amazing but definitely not a thing you need to do.

IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM DO I WANT YOU TO FEEL BAD ABOUT THIS. YOUR STORY IS AMAZING AND FANTASTIC AND A GIFT AND I LOVED IT. I came to track down your blog to get the extended chapter notes originally because I wanted more lore and I knew that was the way to go. I love what I've found and the characters you breathed life into years ago and you should be damn proud of yourself. That was over 230k posted words and you kept talking in your notes about CUTTING scenes. AMAZING.

Your story is one of the most bookmarked items I've come across when scrolling through others bookmarks for recommendations and it was actually a prompt from Joker's Wild that gave me the final plunge to finally read this because I knew it would captivate me so.

I'll try my best to leave a good comment on the fic itself but a lot of my gush kinda came out here. So... thanks for writing. I loved it and look forward to reading your other stories and scouring your bookmarks as well. XD <3<3<3

Thank you! You’re very sweet!

Wow, I have not thought about NM in ages (and haven’t updated it in… 6 years?). Luckily, this is a sideblog connected to my main account, so I saw this the moment it came in. I will not be continuing the story, but I still have a backlog of a completed chapter plus a half-finished draft. I think I can add those to the old fic on AO3 for everyone to see.

I’ll also share where the story was supposed to go-- at least, what I remember. I have spent the entire morning looking for my old notes, and I can’t find them. Looking through my old posts again, it seems like I never made any (I was, apparently, not lying about not having an outline).

Thanks for reaching out! People rarely if ever want to hear about my old TAZ phase. That podcast and the fic I wrote for it got me through an awful period of my life, and I remember both very fondly <3

She stole his glasses just like his kiss

[ID: A red and brown and yellow toned digital artwork of Lup and Barry from The Adventure Zone: Balance. Lup is brown and has wavy brown hair tied into a ponytail. Her eyes are black. She wears a red robe, a black crop top, black pants and golden earrings. Barry is white and has short brown hair. He wears a red robe, a white shirt and jeans. They are both floating, embracing each other in the middle of an abstract swirl of colorful, mostly red dashes of paint. Lup grasps Barry around his shoulders. She supports the back of his head and holds his glasses in her left hand. With a big loving smile she stares right into his eyes as she draws closer in with her face just bits from his. Barry faces her and draws his hands towards her. There is a warm yellow light behind them at the centre of the swirl and it’s so big it almost surrounds them. The second picture is a close up on characters. End ID]
