Hi Fish, I just recently joined the phandom and it has been such a joy to discover all these beautiful parts of it. I’ve joined in on the streams the last couple weeks which has been so great. It appears there is a great community here, and while I’m sad that you stopped doing them yourself almost exactly when I joined(just my luck lol), I hope that this reprieve is helping to allow you to enjoy it rather than feel a responsibility to us.

I was the one who sent an anonymous ask on your other blog asking about fanart for Unsung because I have found myself with so much yearning after reading that story probably about 20 times. I’ve spent a lot of time lurking on your blogs(and others in this phandom) and I hope it’s not too forward to say that it feels like getting to know an old friend.

I’ve spent the last few weeks constantly searching for other stories that give me that same feeling that yours did and while there are many beautiful ones, there is just something in my brain that your writing scratches perfectly. So I just finished Out of the Woods and that’s what made me realize that I would read anything you wrote.

I’m in lots of different fandoms, and I have seen many incredible writers. I have my favorites in each one. Still, there’s something different in your writing style that makes me feel a thrill and safety all at once, like coming home after a long trip away. I’m sure I’m not the first one to say this, but I hope it makes you feel valued all the same.

Sorry for the long winded message. I just felt you deserved to know how great you are. Not just for your writing, but for the essence I’ve seen you bring to this community. Thank you for sharing yourself with us.

I’ll be off to read Red Death Riding and The Ivory Tower now, even though I usually never do any unfinished stories. I believe yours deserve to be read no matter what, or how much, is in them.

I've been putting off replying because I honestly don't know what to say. I absolutely know what you mean about finding a writer you resonate with so much, but to actually BE that person is just sooo...I don't even know. Touching? Humbling? thank you 😭😭😭

(apologies for ivory tower btw 💀)

Hi Fish, I was very busy volunteering with Pride stuff last week, so I didn't get to send a message sooner. Thank you so much for everything you've done in establishing the Saturday Streams. I cannot fucking believe the milestone that is surviving to 300. You've helped build so many connections and friendships over the years doing so much. You're fucking amazing
