Plucking Threads of Happiness
A person at The Serious Day Job read The King of Nightmare and loved it. Her favorite characters were Nightmare and Miss Teedee, though she called out Andrew (my Drew Baby), because he's... "...so obviously neurospicy, and he gets a huge part of the plot and a love story. And that so rarely happens in fiction. OR in life." Truth, lady. Truth.
He also gets one of the most powerful (one could argue THE most powerful) avatar of the whole book.
Because people who are different are powerful AF.
Secondly: A friend who has never seen an episode of anime of any variety in her life asked me, the other day, while sniffling through a MISERABLE cold, "Wait, where's the Russians?"
Me, understanding cold medicine is a BITCH. "The what, hon?"
"Your Russians. The story about the RUSSIANS," she says, as though I am the biggest moron to ever moron. "Where is it? I need that one."
She's speaking about The Beloved Martyr, my Itachi story, (which does, indeed, involve a lot of Russians - just go with me, here) and it's about 720 pages at the moment and half done and sidelined because of aliens (listen, they were insistent, mmmkay?), but I promised her I would get back to it and get it to her soon. And she sniffled and said, "Promise?" And I said, "Yes."
And this is me. Blissed out.
(And because I can literally hear @afhenley screaming from the peanut gallery... Yes, my beloved, I know; you are the OG in the 'Never heard of this Nar-U-Toe crap, but my GOD these stories are HOT, so I am HERE FOR THIS' fan club. You remain my favorite. <3)
