Hey, I just wanted to say- I absolutely adore LaaC. I found it early in high school when it was only about 40 or so pages, and I've been following it since then. It's part of what got me through some pretty tough times in my life, and honestly, i think it may be one of the best portal 2 fics out there. If Blue sky is the definitive Chelley fic, LaaC should be the definitive WheatDOS fic- And it deserves to be just as well-known. Keep up the amazing work :)
40 pages?! That WAS a long time ago! Honestly though it’s so weird to have a fic where people can say ‘I grew up with this’. I’m very glad to hear that it helped you!
Honestly, I’m happy with the popularity as-is. It’s an unpopular ship crossed over with an unpopular ship so really, my expectations from the audience are not that high. But it will always be the fic that shows up on top when you sort by wordcount and it’s got that going for it.
Also, it... actually IS the definitive WheatDOS fic as far as I know. Back when I started writing it, there were no fics like it. There might be some now (IDK, I don’t read fanfic anymore) but in 2013? WheatDOS was pretty much hateshipping. That was actually the reason I started writing LaaC: spite. So much spite.
