for those of you not on twitter, you probably haven’t seen @robochai‘s new blog The Fans We Were. it’s a fun and cheeky and heartfelt look into a lot of your favorite artist’s old weird tween art -- and this week i had the pleasure of joining the ranks of interviewees!

i HIGHLY recommend checking it out, particularly the interview with carey pietsch!

A year ago today I published The Faces We Wear.

To date, it is still my most popular fic I've ever written, by a lot, and it kick started the most consistent creative binge I've ever been on. Not a single month in the last year has gone by without thousands of words worth of writing, which I've never been able to do before.

That fic also inspired @professorflowers to turn the story into a comic, which I'm still giddy about. Like, an artist liked what I'd written so much that they wanted to draw it. 😭😭😭😭😭 You're such a talented and wonderful artist Flowers, and I'm so friggen happy for all of your success!!!!

I usually fixate on fandoms for a while, and then inexplicably, my brain decides it's done, and no matter how badly I want to keep revisiting characters and stories, I just can't. Good Omens changed all that. This is the first time I've ever felt both the drive and inspiration to just keep going. So thank you from the bottom of my heart, every single reader I've ever had. I want to be a published writer one day, and you all have given me the confidence to keep exercising that writing muscle, and keep perfecting. Keep improving.

All this from a smut fic. Wow. Love you. 💕💕💕

The Fable Well-Weaved

by @kavvueh

This, Wanderer thinks, hand clenched tight enough for nails to dig into his skin, is a child. And children lie.

Or: Wanderer tends to Mini-Durin, and watches the shoots take root.

Read chapter 1 here! A snippet of the story is included below. Enjoy!

Wanderer wakes abruptly. He sits up. Beside him, curled tightly beneath a handful of child-sized blankets, Durin whimpers, wincing in his sleep, face contorted into a grimace.

Wanderer blinks, drowsiness hanging from heavy lashes. He clambers out of his sleeping pack, takes hold of mini-Durin, and jostles him awake.

The dragon's eyes fly open, frenzily looking around. His wings pull taut, ready to take flight at a moment's notice.

"Durin," Wanderer says. Those wide eyes find his. "You had a nightmare."

The haze begins to lift. Mini-Durin's wings sag. His eyes blink once, twice, and then shut tight. Tears begin to fall at last. The dragon shifts towards Wanderer, wings coming up to tangle around his nearest arm.

"They—" Durin chokes on his words "—my friends, they were with me, but…" He shakes his head against Wanderer's arm. "All red, it burned…I couldn't stop it so… But they wouldn't listen…" His words are half-lost as he begins to tremble.

Durin sobs quietly, frame shaking because he won't let the louder cries come out. His wings fall limp behind him. Wanderer takes pity and pulls the dragon into his arms. Only like this does Durin finally begin to wail openly.

It's an unpleasant sound. Sharp, and strained. Wanderer's shoulder becomes wet with tears and snot, but he ignores the sensation. It is a tedious part of a bigger process: all children cry when they are frightened. Many adults try and ease it. "There's no monster under the bed." "They can't hurt you." "I'll protect you."

Those are false promises. Humans are as fragile as they come. And so are children. But at least the children recognize that. The platitudes never work for long, because it isn't monsters that they're truly afraid of.
