is it okay if I chip with my two cents on that latest ask on modern romance being an experimental lab for relationships? because I v v v strongly disagree. modern romance is without hesitation your very best work (and you know I love all of your fics and books), precisely because of the dynamics you crafted in those stories. they all just fucking work so well. and when reading the fic, I just can't imagine other pairings. they are absolutely spot. on.
I think I may have read more into the last ask than they necessarily intended, but I really do appreciate that. it does sometimes hurt me when people act like I just rolled a die and wrote whatever came up, which isn’t exactly what the last asker was saying... but still, it’s something people often imply. I did choose the pairings very carefully; I crafted the characters one by one and wove them together based on extremely thorough backstories, so naturally I hope the effort I put into it shows. again, I don’t want to misinterpret the last ask or alienate the asker by complaining, but I do appreciate you saying this. This means a lot to me.
in other news, once I post the Vive le Tour sequel I will be back at it with the next Modern Romance diary. they take me a while to write because I have to occupy the headspace and kinda *be* them for a while, but the next three diaries are my side project for the next couple of months
