I love your fics. Your stories are wonderful in every sense of the word. Right now I'm reading Hart of The Storm. I'm a Hart, of European descent. I'm also very connected to Earth. I don't know entirely why but this story is making me tear up in good ways. I'm moved for reasons I can't quite put into words. The way you treat the magic, the forest spirits, the symbolism of the Harts, the misconceptions of differences being evil or wrong, which has unfortunately continued. (1/2)
witchofenoch said: (2/2) I just read the Sheriff calling Dean Hungering Hart and I fought back tears. Again, I can’t say why, but it’s touched my heart, my soul perhaps, and you’ve done a great justice to all of this. I love all of the symbolism and the themes and statements that are relevant, true, and validation I didn’t realize I needed now. Thank you for writing it. I know it’s not over yet, but I know it’ll have a great ending.
I also just realized I wasn’t following you on this account, though I do on my fandomy account, and I like what you post so I’ve added you now. Possibly needless explanation of why I only just now followed you.
i love love love that you mention a story that i poured so much love and energy and probably magic into. i’d almost forgotten about it, but reading this message made me go skim-read it, and i started from about halfway through and ended up sucked in for 2 hours. i haven’t even reached the part you mentioned, with Dean and Cas and all their friends in the tavern, but oh boy i remember how much i loved writing that. <3
thank you. thank you thank you for reminding me about that fic. and for assuring me that there’s still good reasons to write the long stories with deeper meanings and darker themes - and one of those reasons is that they’re important.
and the weight of them doesn’t erase that they’re also beautiful and pretty damn fun to read. >u>
(i say “them” rather than “it” because i’ve written multiple plot-heavy, symbolism-heavy stories like Hart of the Storm over the years, and they’re always the ones very few people read, but the ones i’m proudest of, and the ones i would say define me as a writer in the long-term. but the few lovely people whose hearts those stories touch are always touched the deepest.)
i followed you right back, witch friend. i hope you enjoy the rest of that story, and any similar ones i write in the future.
