Happy love your content creators day <3 God there are so many of you out there that I have an entire post that is just an @ list of about 60 people which I’m not sure will see the light of day. 

But one person I wanted to specially shout out to is @appleapplepeach. Apple, your writing is why I’m still in the fandom today. I imprinted on your fic like a baby duckling. You’re never afraid to do these wild and cool ideas, and it made me less afraid to try out weird and different things in my own fics. I love everything you’ve written so much that when I even try to think of a rec to start with, I just argue with myself internally. 

So here’s a link to Apple’s Ao3 and a link to the first fic I ever read in the fandom that made me go from, “Hey, maybe I could like Ereri” to “Here I am almost a year later loving this ship to death.” 

Don’t Speak Against the Sun: Erwin thinks Levi and Eren are spending too much time together.

God this fic...I’ve re-read it so many times. Every time the same lines take my breath away. The narrative style is wonderful, the dynamics between Eren and Levi are wonderful. Go read every. single. thing. Leave her love because her life is W I L D but if we leave her more comments and love, it fuels her into giving us more of the good stuff.

Bridge of Birds is amazing and there are two sequels, which isn't enough

How good to know there are sequels ;) 

I’m not far in yet but it already feels vast and beautiful. And though it seems to be one of those books that take a bit to pull me in to the full, I already adore its voice. It’s wonderfully descriptive.

1,2,3,6,20/21,30,39/40 (you can pick and choose if that's too many :p)

Thank you so much for your questions! Of course, I’ll answer them all. <3

1: What book did you last finish? When was that?

“Tooth and Claw” by Jo Walton. Um…1-2 months ago, I think? I loved it! 

2: What are you currently reading?

“On Stranger Tides” by Tim Powers. :) 

3: What book are you planning to read next?

There’s the second part of Skargat by Daniel Illger (a German author) on my nightstand. It has been there for over a year now, and I don’t know. I loved the first book like crazy, but reading German is (sadly) hard for me lately. So it keeps getting put on hold. 

6: Which book was the last one you really, really loved?

Rose Daughter by Robin McKinley. I’m still swooning over that one! <3

20: Best summer read?

I love to read the “Kate Daniels” books by Ilona Andrews in summer. A good pinch of humour, a bad-arse heroine, magic, adventure, danger…what’d not to love?!

21: Best winter read?

Fanfic. :P Snuggling up on the cosy couch, tea, and reading “All Life is Yours to Miss” by Saras_Girl for the umpteenth time for extra cosiness and fuzzy feelings. 

Books? Hm…grand romantic stories, I guess. You know, the Jane Austen, Georgette Heyer, and fairytale kind of novels that coddle you up and make you happy from the inside out. 

30: Who’s your favorite author?

I don’t really have one at the moment, not only due to the fact that narrowing favourites down always has been hard for me. It’s also because it depends on my mood and what I’m currently “looking for” in a book. Plus fanfic truly does make it hard! There are amazing authors out there. ;) To narrow it down to books though:

It’s been Tad Williams for a long while, due to his humour and characterisation, plus of his way of writing action scenes (battles) that even I enjoy(ed) and didn’t have to skim read. Patrick Rothfuss stands right next to him and still does, for the same reasons, but he’s also got some symbolism in his books that I adore. 

Murakami has a wonderful, powerful writing, though I must admit I haven’t read too much by him yet to declare him as favourite. Neil Gaiman as well for the same reasons. 

39: Name one of your favorite childhood books

“Es klopft bei Wanja in der Nacht” by Reinhard Michl. (The English translation is called “Who’s That Knocking at My Door?”)

40: Name one of your favorite books from your teenage years

“Son of the Shadows” by Juliet Marillier, though it constantly battled with its predecessor “Daughter of the Forest”. 

Oh, yes. And Harry Potter, of course. Books 4-6 were my favourites.

I am just wondering if anybody is doing this, or maybe someone would (not wanting to put any more stress on you of course :P But you are fandom den mother and I think you'd be more in the know than me ;) So back in the pre-AO3 days there was this yuletide thing where you'd sign up, be assigned a match (all secret) write a story for someone and get one in return. You know I don't usually go for challenges/prompts but this would be an exception for me. Your cookie thing made me think of it :P

Cookies seem to spark all kinds of wonderful ideas as it seems. And hohoho! ;) You’d participate in a Christmas challenge? That would be amazing! And you do know, you’re putting ideas in my head here too, don’t you? 

But yes, there will be a Secret Santa thing going on this year. @ererievents​ plan to carry it out. More I do not know (yet). It would probably be best to follow their tumblr to stay informed. 

Also… “fandom den mother” I don’t even know what to say to that other than: you made me blush here, my friend. Thank you! /)///(\

Hahaha you ARE, you know it's true ;P It's fun to do something 'extra' when the holidays come up (your advent calendar comes to mind :P), but you know I won't have time to do anything on my own this year.

Hahaha! Well, again: Thank you! But yeah, the thing with the time, huh? *sighs. 

I would have loved to write another Advent Calendar this year, though until now I’ve got neither an idea, nor the focus, not to mention, yeah, the amount of needed hours available. On the other hand, I’ve been writing Sparrow 1 during my busiest time last year, making the nights to days and writing myself into a frenzy, so…who knows!? :P Never say never. Maybe I’ll read a fic next month that will spark it all into life again… Once I finish my current, massive project of a revision first. Not that I’m complaining. ;) 

Anyway: Even if you don’t find the time for the Secret Santa exchange, you still could come up with something. You had a wonderful present for us last year too with that amazing Christmas chapter (which I’m still not over, now that we’re talking about it, by the way!)
