bc i’m feeling a lil sappy rn i want to give a shout-out to the three people that help me so much with writing even if it’s just them receiving my ideas and nodding along while i talk them out.
@punkassbookjockey26 is not only one of my closest and most favorite friends, but she edits most of my work for me. i’m writing ciwyw so fast right now that i’m doing my own editing but when i say that she truly helps me elevate different bits and pieces, even if it’s just rearranging a sentence to make it more impactful, like. y’all. she inspires me so much and gives me amazing feedback whether it’s hey this is great! or hey this needs some reworking. she’s just the best. there have been so many things she’s suggested, corrected, or added to fafs that just really lifted the entire chapter for me. big shout out to her for digging through our texts to find messages from two years ago for the plans for fafs so i could pick it back up again. i could NOT write fafs without you.
@shyvioletcat — miss ma’am recklessly encourages me to start the new au even though i don’t need another au going at the moment. and it gives me so much more freedom because im not limiting myself and telling myself no. she’s the yes man in my pocket, regardless of if it’s a whole new au, or throwing in a spicy twist of angst. ciwyw exists bc of her telling me to write it when i kept telling myself no. and she has been a sounding board for every idea and given me so much good advice and things to add. caitlyn inspires the angst goblin that dwells in my soul and encourages me ALWAYS.
@westofmoon — the spoiler dragon of us all. even just talking to ash about my plans for a chapter helps me flesh everything out. she always has incredible ideas from small moments to big ones. and her asking me what comes next keeps my brain moving and if i feel stuck she helps me get back on track. thank you for listening to all of my ideas and urging me on. honestly i probably wouldn’t have written half of my masterlist if you didn’t give me the space to work out my thoughts and ideas. you are the BEST.
okay i’m done now. if you haven’t read their fics, please do. they are so so so deserving of your love and attention.
