would you allow ppl to print a physical copy of tlgbf? i just love it so much

This is not the first time I’ve been asked this question. Go for it. I might get a limited run of it self published with fan art and whatnot as an anniversary edition. Just since I think folks would want that and people having a copy of my book would make me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Stay tuned on that. And if you do anything special with your printed version, please let me know!

“I mean, fuck, I’ve been walking around missing half my limbs and organs for three years now, Nat, and I still can’t,” she sucks in a shallow breath, “I’m not like you. I’m supposed to have four arms and four eyes and two hearts.” WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK? WHO GAVE YOU PERMISSION TO WRITE THIS??

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh head in my hands jackie taylor how i adore you. from one two hearted girl to another... yeah. fuck. god i adore your writing

thank you, anon. i had fun including that even with working on her own shit, she will shauna crash out. they're coded into each other's dna. it's so over and we're so back.

i just finished tlgbf + tlgbl and i just think that EVERY show deserves its own raunchy new york city au where all the characters are just messy and queer and REAL !!

With all the s3 YJ hype building up I just want you to know it's gonna be so weird going back to the canon show ever since tlg universe has rewired my brain.

What do you mean Jackie got slow smoked, what do you mean nat dead faced said lottie may be better off dead?! They're in NYC!! They're all married!! Nat n Jackie are besties and Ben is so funny what do you mean its still winter 😭

Also thank you for writing tlg I can confidently say it's one of my favorite written works, not just fanfiction but like written works in general, it perfectly fit the niche I think I'm always looking for in stories and the way you portrayed the characters is so good. 💜

I’m really excited for season 3. I have some insider scoops that have me chewing my nails, but I think it’s a great show that keeps surprising us each season. I wanna see AQ!Nat, and I want to see how “bad” everything gets, and the fallout of Season 2’s finale. I really am going to miss JL and Adult Nat (even if it made writing tlgbf easier because i was working off two fixed points). I wanna know if there’s an 8th survivor, and what Lisa is gonna do now.

I love that tlgbf gives people a comforting AU ending because we do write fanfiction to give ourselves what the source material doesn’t. The reality is bleak and 3/4 of the roommates in apartment 8 are dead (not counting Lottie because she didn’t pay rent, and assuming Ben is dead). In a kinder world they’re voting for Harris (or Jill Stein in Lottie’s case) and then getting pizza.

(And I still think Nat saying Lottie might be better off dead was partly empathetic. She did after all say she envied Jackie for dying early.)

Thank you so much for coming into my inbox with your positivity, my dear. I really appreciate that tlgbf is still touching folks and still comforting them. I’m working on an original novel that I think fans of tlgbf will enjoy immensely, so if you’re looking for another story soon then keep your eyes peeled.

Have a wonderful rest of your day!
