This is a love letter (and an accurate description of my pavlovian responses) to the fannish writings of @helenish, @astolat, @mcicioni-blog, @rageprufrock, @fabula-unica, @hopelessheathen , @eyebrowofdoom and other fantastic authors of many fandoms I’ve come across throughout the last 7 years. Thank you guys for your time, muse, talent and passion that brought me and scores of other people endless joy, squees, “my emotions!!!”, heartbreak, “hot damn”s, laughts and smiles, and what the hell not. You so rock.
(The guys and gals listed thought, I seriously adore. I've got into fandoms and ships because of them, and would gladly buy their original works in case they write professionally. What is the right way to ask your favorite fanfic author “I love how you write, do you have a pen name and write books or articles outside fandoms, and how can I find them; just take my money and exited noises, please, please, please”? You see my dillema)
It’s also one biggest, shiniest kudos to AO3 as a whole, because it’s a place of free speech, wit, motivation, hopes, love for writings of all kinds of good and bad - and as much as it’s a lliving, wonderful library, it’s a thriving museum of a unique facet in fandom culture. Long live you)
