rainjoy Has A New Post. It's Personal
rainjoy is one of my favorite Klaine fanfic authors. Their first Klaine fanfic was published on LiveJournal in 2011, their last in 2021. Health issues have become more intense over time. Their most famous works, All The Other Ghosts and Grey, were published in 2012 and 2013. So those who've joined the fandom fairly recently may not even know about their other fics, the most recent one being from 2021. rainjoy has written Klaine in every genre: high school!Klaine, college!Klaine, married!Klaine, supernatural!Klaine, fantasy!Klaine, and even superhero!Klaine.

This is rainjoy's post from today (October 27, 2023).
"Hello, Iām still alive.
Hello, I do mean it, hello anybody around to see this, I really hope youāve been well, Iām sorry I havenāt been around, I *havenāt* been well. But I have, over a course of fucking months, actually written something, so Iām writing *this* here so I donāt need to leave a novel-length authorās note on it, as some kind of explanation of where Iāve been.
Largely, Iāve been in bed, Iām likely going there again after posting this, they need to invent new words for how tired I am so much of the time, my upgraded wheelchair is worth about as much as my *laptop*, my life revolves aroundĀ Can I? Probably not.Ā and lots and lots and lots of ārestingā. Iāve not been well, but please donāt worry, Iāve not been unhappy. This is the golden age of being ill, the sheer quantity of stuff out there to amuse the bedbound ā I have books and podcasts, all of Netflix, I practically live onĀ Sky: Children of the Light, when Iām too dopey even for that I haveĀ Animal Crossing, when I am genuinely such a puddle of not-human lethargy that all I need is for time to pass until I feel just slightly better again I have videos of other people playing video games on YouTube and Iām sorry my darling baby moths I will pick you up and help you every single time but it will never not be funny watching someone go through Eden for the first time on YouTube, it just never will not make me laugh, oh my gods Iām so *sorry* my loves <3
So anyway, thereās all that, thatās where Iāve been, life really does not work out the way you planned it to, huh? Because outside of my bed, I know I have messages and emails and someone got a tattoo?? You got aĀ tattooĀ and Iām just really sorry I havenāt been in touch, my energy has to be paid out like a miser, if I want to wash my hair then wow the world is really not getting anything else out of me, you know? But I am still here, and I do still love the things I love. I still think all of it is worth it. I think the world is a *lot* of fun, though I bear in mind that still, and always, we live through very frightening and distressing times. Which actually makes me think we need to cling to the things we love *more*, not less, love makes better people of us, when we let it.
So I did watch the new season ofĀ Good OmensĀ when it came out, and safe to say I was not impressed, but it did jog in me the memory that didnāt I write a sequel to it? Yes I did, and it involved *all* that blood. But I reread it ā itās like reading a strangerās writing after so long ā and that jogged the memory: Didnāt you start a sequel to *this*?
Yes I did! Two thirds written, actually, hurrah for my past self. The last third took, I donāt know, when did the new season come out, it took that long. I used to sneeze out this sort of thing. This, now, is getting at my arms, itāll be another lie down soon. But anyway, the point of all this: I live yet. In the next few days I *hope* I will be formatting and posting a sequel toĀ But Thou Readst BlackĀ because of course everyone wants *that* back in their heads again, my gods. And I hope hope hope youāve been well, I do think of people while Iām stuck doing nothing but pooling my brain out of my ears on YouTube. Look after yourselves, take care of each other, my gods you tattooed yourself I mean more power to you but it alarms me when things I make turn out to be *permanent*, you know? It feels like I barely touch the world anymore, my circumference has become so small, but it makes the world seem only more precious. Take good care of it, and of yourself as part of it. And very, very much love, to anyone remaining to see this, much love <3"
