hi, i’ve been a fan of your works. may i ask how tall Nat and Kat are? idk what should i ask and this was my first, random thought :)

well, i hope you’re doing well. please take care of yourself and thank you for your passion in writing. it gives people entertainment and joy.

Hi!! That's so nice to hear, thank you :) 🫶🏼 I believeee l made them around 6'4? They are the same height! And quite short 😂

Hi,

Sorry to bother you but I just wanted to tell you something, even if I’m not very good at putting it into words.

Your writing genuinely means so much to me. I’ve reread your Ghost series eight times (I’m on my ninth right now) and I’m still just as emotionally invested as the first time. I literally know it by heart. I know what happens, I know the scenes, and somehow I still fall in love every single time.

No other book has ever made me feel like this. I’ve read a lot, but nothing ever hit me the way your writing does. It’s not just “good”, it’s like devastating in the best way. It makes me feel things so deeply in a way that almost feels personal.

I don’t think I’ve ever been this attached to a character before. Katya just feels real to me. The way you wrote her, the little details, everything about her, it stayed with me for so long.

And then I found your tumblr and Trojan Horse (the AU you’re writing, not sure if you still are but yeah) and it honestly made me so happy. It’s such a strange feeling reading her again in a different universe. It’s comforting because she’s still her, but also exciting because I have no idea what’s going to happen this time. It’s like meeting someone you love again but in another life.

Anyway. I just needed you to know that your writing genuinely means so much to me. Thank you for creating Katya and for writing the way you do.

Oh my gosh, you almost got me crying at work 😭 This is so so sweet. I can't tell you how much this means to me. I've been not having the best time, and this just brought me so much happiness. Thank you thank you thank you 🙏🏻🩷🩷

I'm gonna be serious and say that l think you've just single-handedly fixed my writer's block. Me leaving the maffia AU unfinished has not been sitting right with me at all, and l want to finish it for you now. I'm dead serious, I'm gonna finish writing it for you. And if I'm writing it only for you, then it's worth it. Give me a week or so to get a new chapter out 🩷

What happened to Nataliasquote :( I can’t find any of their fics ??

She deactivated a few months ago. I explained why here. Couldn't stop her, unfortunately.

[katyaromanoffpetrova]

are u kidding me? nat has had a few moments where i thought, “okay, this time she really messed up,” only for katya not to get mad at her and just forget about it. katya hasn’t messed up, she’s just a bit weird and has some issues but that’s not her fault!!

what kind of thing is it to leave your wife (even if she wasn’t your wife yet at the time) in a cell and not say a word to her?? at least say, “hey, i still love you despite everything, and a clash between two egos doesn’t have to tear us apart.” she did apologize later, but katya wasn’t even upset, i was more mad than she was.

and people make fun of her all the time. katy doesn’t really do anything to stop it, but still show some respect for my girl ☝️

Hahahahaha oh gosh, you feel strongly about this 😂😂

I guess Kat is just an understanding, forgivable person to the people she cares about. Sometimes too understanding, I do admit that. And they were definitely not in tune with each other during the whole Accords thing.

Do people make fun of her though? I don't really remember that??

happy new year! i hope you're doing good.

i'm sorry to keep pressing on the topic because i know you've gotten related questions but if you decide not to continue writing the murderwives (or at all), would you ever tell us how it would've ended or what your plans were for the prequel? (i don't necessarily mean in a chapter format).

sorry i keep making these so long. hope everyone who's reading this has an awesome week. take a deep breath and take care of yourself <3.

Hello!! Happy February!! 🥳

It's totally okay to ask! I don't mind answering, l know everyone wants to know what's gonna happen with the story 😊

IF I decide to quit writing, l will absolutely do one final chapter to wrap it all up. Maybe it'll be like a quick overview of the next 20 years kinda thing. Because l did have everything planned out in my head (and scenes written even), and l would hate to leave it open.

As for the prequel, it hurts my heart that l won't be writing it :( I didn't have much of the story planned out yet, but l did have some beginning chapters written, and l really liked what l had done there. I never attempted to write more, because I'm not talented enough to come up with a thrilling storyline of my own that would have been worthy of their story. I wanted a true plot that would have you on the edge of your seat, like an action movie.

But l will be more than happy to elaborate on any questions you have about the prequel or the rest of the CG book, if you (or anyone) wants to know :) If you want to know how something ended, just ask.

What’s a big story line / plot that you initially thought of for FG or CG that you didn’t end up using?

Ohh l love this question!! I think l answered it before, but l might be wrong.

The biggest thing: l was debating on having Kat figure out she's not actually permanently sterilized (it's fiction, so l can do medically impossible things 😇). And then have her and Nat go through the whole IVF thing. This would have been before aging Maya up to 16. But ultimately, l decided against it, because l think that they don't need a biological child to fulfill them. Maya is the one who fulfilled all their dreams of becoming mothers. And l knew a pregnancy storyline was going to take away from that wonder.

And I'm sure there were more little things, but l honestly forgot what they were 😅 Nothing major like the one l mentioned.

oh also i draw kat and nat a year ago or so but i’ve never had the opportunity to show you but now i can so yeah (pls ignore the hand im very bad at drawing hands..🫡)

WHAT THE FUCKKKKK 😲😲😲 HOW COULD YOU KEEP THIS FROM ME?? THIS IS INCREDIBLE 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Kat looks so so gorgeous. It's such a soft moment you captured 😭😭 It's so surreal to see fanart of my own work, it's crazy.

missing nat and kat hours😿 what are they doing for the holidays? Xmas and NY/NYE

I miss them too!! 😫 For Christmas they definitely did a huge family dinner like every year, with all the Avengers and kids. And they did a gingerbread house decorating competition, including Maya and Lyn. I won't disclose the results.

For New Years Eve, l think Maya went to some party with Lyn, and it was just the murderwives at home. So they turned it into a cozy night in (and possibly started the new year with a bang 😏)
