Maya,

You are such an inspiration to me! I admire how you aren’t afraid to stand up for what you believe in and think is right, especially in fandom spaces - you’ve motivated me to be more public about the things I like and to not feel like I have to hide as much online, and I truly appreciate your love and acceptance.

In all of your fics (I’m recalling your Fuku and Kuni fic you wrote for me a while back!) you write with a sense of maturity about the characters that is so rare, especially in BSD. The way you explain character motivations and what they notice is done in a way that treats the reader as an adult - things aren’t spelled out except to give context to how the character is viewing the situation.

Keep being yourself and keep making waves wherever you go. I can’t wait to see what you create next.

I was a little nervous to get you because I really look up to you, but I should’ve known that would make it that much easier to send you lovemail! Your writing is so effortless to read and I adore it. The flow to each one of your works that I had the pleasure of reading was so perfect that it was an absolute joy to do so. There isn’t a hitch in your writing at any point that may give your reader a pause unless you very much intend for it to be there, and I just don’t know how you do it! Your dialogue especially is hard to envision a person being able to sit and write with how in character and perfect it is. I imagine it had to come from the character’s themselves, a little like how sometimes we forget an actor is an actor when they’re doing an especially good job. It’d be easy to fool me into thinking that you didn’t even have to pause in writing it before it came out fully formed, perfect as it is. You are also endlessly clever, both with dialogue and without. Every scenario you come up with is unique in its own way, and not where most people would ever take certain little ideas. You clearly care a lot about every little thing you write and you put so much thought into it that it shines through clearly and I hope you know that! Reading something from you is always a breathtaking experience, and I wish I had better words to emphasize this. So all in all, I suppose I’ll just have to say that you are great at what you do. Thank you so much for sharing your work and I’m excited to read more in the future.

Can I say “Season’s Greetings” for Valentine’s Day? I hope so, because ‘tis the season for love n friendship, Maya!! It’s been an honour joining onto the server so far, and I have met many wonderful people here, and I wanted to share my admiration of you to you!

It’s not a stretch to call it admiration, either - you’re such a kind and compassionate person and you’ve helped me in more ways than one ; just talking to you is a pleasant experience, and you’ve made me laugh many more times than I would usually! You’ve helped the server feel less like just a Discord server, but like a little home on the internet, too.

I really want to spend more time talking to you and everyone, because you’re just so personable and friendly. I feel safe around you and that’s much much more than even some people I’ve known for a long time. I want to give you a nickname some time, too! To show you how much I care! (though that might give away who I am - woops ;0;)

Here’s to a wonderful year, Maya, and I hope to be with you all the year through! Have a very very happy Valentine’s Day!

All the things in the world,

- Your Secret Pal

Hehehe it’s funny how a few months ago I thought I couldn’t talk to you and now I’m writing you a valentine! If we were back in elementary school I’d write this to you on the back of one of those holographic valentines, maybe one with the cats where you tilt it and it looks like they’re booping u with their nose...

Anyway! I am so full of gratitude but very bad at expressing it so I want you to know that I’m so so glad that I know you and am your gf friend and ur amazing and ily....even if you never considered yourself a bnf but you’re a bnf in my heart 💖

hi hi!! you already know who I am so I’m not even going to bother being subtle ;) you’re one of my favourite person I’ve met through bsd fandom and I treasure the talks we have so much every day. you’re so talented and vibrant that it’d be hard not to love you — replacing you is pretty much impossible.

your writing is also….so good and rich and lovely and I swear I cry a little every time I read one of your snippets or fics. the way you describe characters and their internal states is beautiful and inspiring.

which isn’t even going into what a great friend and fantastic mod you are!! I keep taking notes from the way you deal with situations and your friendship means so much to me <3 I don’t know what I’d do without you. you’ve helped me so much and it’ll always mean the world to me.
