About my previous comment, I'm sorry, I mistook you for someone else, still, I love your fics. :) Thanks again for your reply.

No worries! It happens more often than you think :) thank you for the kind words and I hope you find that author to tell them you miss their work!

I wish you didn't delete "Sounds of Silence" from Ao3. While I may not know but, nevertheless, understand your reasons, I just wanted to say that I really loved that fic. Thanks for your time.

Sorry bud, I’ve never deleted anything from AO3 so whichever fic “Sound of Silence” was, I was not the author who deleted it 😔

Was reading a thread on Black-owned bookstores getting slammed by by-lines falsely stating they can’t keep up with orders (the reality is that amazon has made 2-day shipping a normal thing and everyone is ordering the same 5 “anti-racist” books), and realized the real life person I based a bookstore owner on had shared it in the first place! Excellent characterization of my own friends, amazing.

Holy crap! It’s happened a few times but I always feel so incredibly lucky to be an author whose work is enjoyed so much that people make art about it! 

Stay safe, sane, and healthy friends--and when you’re bored, read catholic guilt AUs (and book AUs and wedding AUs and... you know, stuff that isn’t also written by me haha).
