Hi Pia! I wanted to send along some love to you. You're my favorite author and have been for years. Your work has helped me through some of my darkest struggles - not just Fae Tales, all of your work. Earlier this year a good friend's nerves atrophied and he has been learning to deal with chronic pain. It helped me go through mine, so I suggested Fae Tales to him and we've been having so much fun talking about the series together. I adore your writing and wish you the best in all things.
*hugs* Thank you so much for this message. I often started to reply but then didn’t know what to do aside from flailing and keysmashing at you, and like, I think it gets my speechlessness across but not much more than that <3
I’m really glad my writing has been able to give you something, and I’m sorry to hear about your good friend and the issue they’re having with their nerves. Chronic pain is so brutal, and it’s so hard for the people around the person suffering, because helplessness/powerlessness is really intense (I find I much prefer to be the one sick, than the one watching a loved one get sick - and I realised that after I went through my cancer journey and then Mum went through hers about 2 months after).
I’m so stoked you’ve both been able to talk about the fae tales series together though? I’m like fdksajfdsa that always does feel really special because I don’t have anyone irl who reads my stuff or talks to me about it, so I only talk to people about it via AO3 or here, and so it just means a lot to me that other people can share it with friends, or even just one friend sometimes, and then talk about it, thank you for sharing that detail with me.
Honestly thank you so much, I hope you’re taking care of yuorself, and that you have an amazing weekend <3
