i know you’ve said you lack motivation to update ybtm (ibty) so this might possibly help with that a bit. did you know that ybtm is, when filtered by kudos, on page 2 of ao3 for ALL harry potter fics? ranking wise it’s on place 34 which means, since no other platform can really compare to the popularity of hp fics on ao3, that your fic is the 34th most popular hp fic ever. that’s just crazy and SO so deserved.

(now imagine how many kudos it could be if you finish it one day wink wink)

Is it really?? That's actually mind blowing and really really touching? Thank you for letting me know! I don't often do things like ranking, so this was a really nice surprise 💕

id love to make an edit of ybtm, do you have a specific fancast for nathan in mind?

Hello!!! For Nathan, I tend to think Ian Nelson, just with a different eye colour and slightly lighter hair.

(I would also lose my mind if you did that!! Please share if you do because I would love you forever and ever and probably cry)

i made a pinterest boards with a few fancasts for "you belong to me (i belong to you)" <3 it’s not really 100% done yet BUTTTT i wanted to show you anyways. i hope u like it!! pleasee please share any criticism u have i’m so curious. before u OR ANYONE ELSE shits on my tom fancast please know that i did genuinely struggle a lot with him because i just couldn’t find ANYONE who really fit his perfect, handsome but cold vibe (i tried Ok.)

Hahaha - you're not an idiot 😂 god knows I've sent a hundred emails where I've forgotten to attach documents.

But also THANK YOU!!!! They all look so good!! I would never shit on the fancasts - they all match the ~vibes~ so well, especially Tom and also Benedict!!

Thank you for sharing, I think they're brilliant 🥰🥰🥰

did you see that CS is the 7th most popular tomarry fic and overall the 51th most popular harry potter fic? with YBTM being the 43rd ?? IM SO PROUD OF YOU !!!

Ahhh thank you! I knew CS was in the top ten, but it's always such a surprise when someone points it out / I remember it haha. But I didn't know ybtm was 43rd - that's so amazing! Thank you! 🥰🥰

would you be willing to open a patreon for early access to new chapters because i would 100% buy that … i absolutely cannot get enough of your works !

I do have a ko-fi and technically a patreon, but I don't use it. I think I'd have to have a better writing and updating schedule to be able to set up something like early access to chapters. I usually post chapters the day I finish writing them 😅

But thank you for asking! It's lovely to hear people would pay for my writing 🥰🥰🥰🥰

CS is -without exaggeration- probably my favorite book. Grammar, Plot, Language, Characters... everything is perfect. I love it so so much, you’re an incredibly talented author & I hope you update "soon".

loved the new you belong to me (I belong to you) chapter btw x

*voice cracking* o-kay

Thank you so much - that’s super sweet of you and I might be crying a little. CS is the biggest writing project I have ever done, and to hear something like this is overwhelming to me because you guys have been so supportive and nice every step of the way!

Thank you. Sincerely. I’m so happy you’ve enjoyed it (and ybtm) so much - I’ll try not to take too long with the update 😘
