So this very good boy finished his chemo this week, and I’m so very proud of him that I had to share. :)

Charlie was diagnosed with lymphoma in September and was an absolute trooper through 19 weeks of treatment. Lymphoma is one of the worst cancers a dog can get, so remission doesn’t usually last long, but we’re going to do to an immunotherapy treatment next to hopefully keep it going as long as we can. 

In the mean time, we’re enjoying each and every moment with our little superstar (and of course, his sister Brandy, who also had a good checkup last week after  she had cancer surgery this past summer.). <3

So it’s once again time for once yearly Halloween post featuring pictures of my adorable puppies in costumes. 

It’s been a rough year for us (Over the summer, Brandy had to have major surgery to remove a tumor from her liver and one of her adrenal glands, though thankfully, she is fully recovered. Last month, Charlie was diagnosed with lymphoma, which is one of the worst cancers a dog can get. He is undergoing chemo right now and doing well, so we’re crossing all our fingers, toes, etc. that he remains that way), but I couldn’t not make them wear silly costumes to make me laugh and smile for a little bit at least. 

The world is a fucked up place, so I thought maybe other people could use a laugh too -- and no worries, of course, they were rewarded with plenty of treats and cuddles for being such good sports.

Hope everyone is doing well and having a happy, spooky Halloween.

hey hi hello I am obsessed with your lawyer AU on AO3, it is amazing and I nearly chucked my phone at a wall 4 times because it's TOO GOOD

Again, I must apologize if you sent this message a while ago, but I only saw it in my inbox today. Thank you for your very kind words! You made me so happy and gave me a good chuckle. <3

I've given up trying to give assurances about updates to a story that hasn't been updated in five (FIVE? Jesus, that is a terrifying and upsetting thing to realize!) years, but I will say that I haven't given up on it, I still think about and work on it often, and do plan to finish it ... eventually. (If not, I swear I'll at least post my outline, so you can have some idea of how I intend it to end. lol)

Hi :) I hope this doesn’t come off as strange but I just wanted to let you know that even after many years, I am still such a fan of your writing. I’ve recently reread What We Don’t Know, and just like the first time I read it, it’s a masterpiece. Sort of like Donald saying Community feels like a warm hug, that’s what it felt like rereading WWDK. I’m so excited for new fans to read your work, as it’s such a wonderful fixture in the JA fandom. I hope you’re doing okay, and thank you ❤️

I'm not sure when you sent this extremely kind message, but I apologize for taking so long to respond. I am so happy to hear that you've enjoyed my writing -- and continue to do so! That is what every fic writer dreams of hearing. I hope you're doing well, too. Please take care. <3

I've been going through my inbox and rediscovering old messages/conversations from eons ago... And I came across one from/with you and thought I'd just drop you a line and let you know that someone was thinking about you and wishing you well. It looks like it's been almost a year since you last posted, so I don't know if you'll get this, but I hope you're well. Take care.

I'm recovering from a migraine today, so admittedly, I'm feeling a little weepy and vulnerable, but your kind message really made my day. It's been a rough few years for me, so kindness like this means even more to me. I am doing pretty well lately, thankfully, and I very much appreciate your thinking of me. <3

I hope you're doing well, too. The world is such a crazy place these days, but I hope you're finding some peace and happiness where you can get it.

Oh, and I also have to thank you even more because your message caused me to see two other kind notes in my inbox that have probably been there for a while, and somehow, I missed. lol

Hi friend!!! Ive stumbled upon your community stories and completely fell in love. I know its been four years since the last update of What We Dont Know, but I absolutely adore that story. I hope one day you will finish it

Thank you so much for this note. I actually just realized that I had a couple of other messages in my inbox that I hadn't seen before and am not sure when they're from that also kindly asked about WWDK, so I want to say a big thank you to anyone who has ever checked to in to say that they enjoyed the story. It's a lovely thing to hear.

I truly do love the story and have every intenion of finishing it, despite my four-year (Shit, has it really been that long?!) hiatus. A bit of writer's block and procrastination tendencides are somewhat to blame for the delay, but there's more to it than just that. Beyond what the world at large has been going through, it's been a tough two and a half years for me personally (I've lost both my parents, been diagnosed with a fairly serious chronic illness, and have experienced some changes with my work that's made it difficult to find the right work/life balance) and I'm still working to deal with all of it. I miss writing fic more than I can explain, so getting back to it is a priority. Notes like yours and the others only help.

So thank you again. For reading and for taking the time to send such a nice message. I hope I'll have something to share with you sooner rather than later. <3

So I haven’t been around much lately -- it’s been a rough year for me personally (and, let’s be honest, a rough few years for the world at large,) so I’ve had trouble mustering up enthusiasm for much. 

The one thing that reliably makes me happy? Pictures of cute dogs (really, animals in general), so I thought I’d share photos of poor Charlie and Brandy being forced to wear Halloween costumes (as they are every year) to put some out into the universe for whoever might need them. 

Please don’t feel too bad for them -- they were rewarded with copious amounts of doggie bacon.

Really sorry to hear about your father passing but glad to hear you're still planning on finishing the fic 💙

Thank you so much. The fic should be a good distraction, I’m hoping.

Just want to say that even though it's been 2 years since an update - What We Don't Know will forever be one of my favourite Jeff/Annie fics! Thanks for writing :)

Man, you don’t know how lovely it was to get this message. Thank you!

I know (and completely understand why) most people assume that this fic has been abandoned, but I have every intention of finishing it. I just can’t make any promises as to when that might happen. Kind notes like yours can only help me get me going again. 

As to why there’s been a two-year layoff since the last update, well, I don’t want to make excuses, but it’s been a strange couple of years for me. My work schedule got busier and harder to negotiate around, there was definitely some bouts of writer’s block in there, and then, more recently, I lost my father rather unexpectedly, and, to be perfectly honest, I haven’t really enjoyed doing much of anything in the aftermath of that -- even writing, which has always been my escape from whatever crap is going on around me. 

I’ve started to feel a bit more like myself again, though, and I actually even read over the very rough, rough draft of the next chapter of WWDK again the other night. I think I’m getting to the point where going back and working on that story is something I’m genuinely looking forward to. Again, no timeline on when you might expect an update, but it doesn’t seem like quite as much of an impossibility as it might have a few months ago. 

So that’s my really long-winded attempt at explaining why the story hasn’t been updated and that I still have every intention of finishing it. I also really wish I could convey how much it means to me that people still remember the story and are interested in seeing it completed. It is such an unexpected gift, and I appreciate it so much.

Thanks again. :)

we seriously need to bring back the concept of “despite its flaws i still enjoy it” instead of ‘cancelling’ every fuckin thing in sight

We also need to stop insisting that everyone enjoying flawed things must put 25 cents in the Problematic Jar and recite all its failings from memory.
