#flwogb asks

[oldpotatoe]

not to be that person but is flwogb discontinued because if so i need to stop thinking about it lol

[oldpotatoe]

i’m sure you get this all the time, but i’m in the middle of rereading and if you have an answer, is there a timeline on when to expect the next flwogb chapter?

[oldpotatoe]

So about how long do we have to suffer before getting to know what happened to Zuko? Not to stress you or anything, I just want to know if you have any idea of about how long it’ll take

permission granted. happy flow jobbing my friend <3

hii, you don't know me, but i recently re-read flwogb in on evening and it's just as amazing as i remembered. your ability to create such a gut wrenching, wonderful, breathtaking piece of work is truly something i will always admire.

it's actually kind of silly, how easily you make me feel like i have known the characters and their little quirks for years, just like with old childhood friends.

actually, i wanted to get back into reading, but with everything going on in this world, it was kind of hard to focus. your writing was actually the first in a while that made reading feel easy and fun again, unlike a chore.

so i guess i just wanted to say thank you for sharing your gift with us and thank you for the tumblr gods for making me stumble across your blog! it's truly been wonderful, to be able to escape into your beautiful world!

how dare you end this lovely heartwarming message with an APOLOGY???

thank you for the kind words friend.

"actually, i wanted to get back into reading, but with everything going on in this world, it was kind of hard to focus. your writing was actually the first in a while that made reading feel easy and fun again, unlike a chore."

^^ i feel the exact same way right now - reading for fun feels so out of reach, especially when reading documents is my literal livelihood rn. so i'm so so so glad that my writing was able to break through the block for you <3

Oops i slipped and fell and read flwogb for the thousandth time :)))) praying to the Gods for more <3 no pressure <3

buddy you should get that checked out [ba dum tiss]

no but in all seriousness. i am 7 months into a career that pretty much consumes most hours of my working day, and on weekends i slump in bed and watch netflix because i am turning into an old hermit-- no wait, an old potato

ye gods i am living up to my username in the worst possible way

anyway i wish i could say that i can see things changing but frankly my workload only increases with every new day :( but i'm getting a severe writing itch that will end up being scratched at some point soon [she says through gritted teeth as she gets yet another notification on her work phone, resisting the urge to hurl it into the wall]

YOU

hi! do you have kofi? i’d love to send something your way to support you in zukka fic! i just caught up after starting it earlier this week and holy fucking hell, you’re a genius and incredibly talented. 😭😭 it’s been just what i need to get me through the holiday season. please let me know in what ways we can support you!! ❤️

thank you for your lovely words!! i'm glad you enjoyed it!

re: kofi, I do not have one and probably will not get one anytime soon. I am blessed to have a secure, if somewhat stressful, job and I am doing alright! but I really appreciate the gesture, and if you really wish to support me, then if I could ask--

please donate to a charity of your choice. with it being the holy month of Ramadan, this is a really important month for us muslims, with charity being one of the best and most rewarding things one can do. if I could encourage even one of you to donate wherever you'd wish to, it would bring me a lot of joy and contentment :)
