Hi! I absolutely love your recs list on AO3. If you ever update the Good Omens recs, I'll be delighted to see your recs! But no pressure obviously! Thanks so much for all you've done already.

Gosh thank you! I'm always delighted when someone expresses appreciation for this project! It was a labor of love for sure, and I am proud to be able to share my experience of fandom in such a collaborative and meaningful way.

Unfortunately, for the last several years my only reliable internet access has been on mobile, and (for a few reasons) it had to be on browser not through the app. This led to a myriad of issues with the tumblr formatting. All the links and sections I need to do became increasingly impossible. It reached a point where I literally could not make the links work how I needed them to, it kept destroying the post and freezing the page; I'm still not sure why.

On top of that, my life got a lot more demanding, so I had even less time to argue with the UI. I might try again someday, I just got sick of it and stopped for a while. I do have access to a laptop now but it's slow so we shall see how cooperative it decides to be.

I still read fanfic, and I never quite lost the habit of taking notes. I have hundreds of them in a private spot by now. I had considered updating my bookmarks instead, but that's several thousand posts between the discord and the tumblr so it's been an overwhelming prospect. That's part of why I asked about potentially finding an assistant a couple years ago, but it never manifested. I might still try someday but in the meantime, /shrug. I might commit to a new format just to get them out there. In the meantime everything I would consider recc'ing is either in the prolix_principality and/or sfwprolix collections either directly or as a bookmark! Or in one of my other collections, if you want to check those out. It's only my notes that I couldn't share.

I still read gomens stuff, and have also expanded some of the fandoms I engage with. This blog/project has never been fandom exclusive. I caught the Project Hail Mary bug a few weeks ago, and have been very much enjoying the creativity in this new fan space! I've also been dedicating a lot of my time to original stories and understanding the world around me, I've listened to several hundred audiobooks of every genre over the last few years. It's been lovely, and I very much enjoy recommending books to people based on conversations and preferences. If people want to ask, I could maybe try short book lists based on requests!

All this to say that I am still around, and I haven't forgotten. Thank you for checking in on me!
