bakingsherlycakes said: Your blog is my go-to if I need johnlock recs! I love your lists and they've helped me find many new fics to read and enjoy over the years 💜

honorarypossum said: Please!! I'm kinda young and just first watched the show a few months ago, but I can guarantee you this blog is one of the few gems I've found on this site :) And as I was a "simple watcher" at first I was so glad to be able to read all the meta posts you've made and compiled over the years! We love you, don't ever stop <3 (unless u need it ofc, take care)

======

Jeez Louise, you guys are all so very very kind, and I appreciate each and every one of you (even those of you who lurk!!)

I think I'm going to stop "feeling like I have to be the best", if y'all know what I mean? Take breaks when I need to, and just post what makes me happy in hopes that they will also please y'all. PLUS, due to the nature of my day job, there WILL BE a guaranteed period of a few months this year where I WON'T be able to post new content, so I think the reblogs of old stuff for you wonderful new folks (AND of course old ones who want to relive simpler times, hahah) NOW is benefitting me for LATER when HOPEFULLY y'all won't notice me not around regularly for a few months LOL. Right now I don't know WHEN that will happen, but it will probably be mid summer or fall. Regardless, it WILL happen this year, that's guaranteed.

ANYWAY, this community is the best one I've been a part of for a long LONG time. Thank you guys all so much for your kind words, I'm eating them all for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!! <3 Seriously my mood has been brightened by you kind souls over the past few days of this being reblogged. 💜🖤

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiii, just wanted to say I adore your blog! It's so helpful and well ordered, really just *chefs kiss* my favourite

NONNY!!!!!!! OMG this is so sweet!!!

Like, I'm not trying to be facetious or contrary, but I genuinely have been thinking lately that maybe I should just... not do this anymore...? I don't get many asks anymore which is what I use for content, and I don't get many notes on my lists so I just assumed no one enjoys them anymore. I know it shouldn't matter, and it usually doesn't. I think just the combo of being sick, losing large chunks of my life with my uncle’s passing and feeling lost for the past months have been too much for me.

Messages like this remind me that you guys are all still here, quietly enjoying the content. I try my best to do new stuff daily, but it's been hard when I haven't been "feeling it". I love all the notes, asks, and replies, truly. Asks like this make my day. Thank you 💜🖤

Bittersweet

Today marked a new chapter in my life. It changed what I was used to for the unknown. Throwing me back into the world like a new born, helpless and alone. And yet I smile knowing deep down this held an exciting aura to it.

Today left a sour taste on my tongue. All the words unsaid feeling like acid burning away the flesh. All the people I'll miss and the place I once called home. Yet, these new memroies waiting to be made invade my senses like the sweet smell of honey.

Today is a sad day. As I leave my past in changed for my future. But today is also a happy day. As I leave all the bad for the better.

Today is so bittersweet. Something I've longed for, but also hoped would never come.

A bittersweet will stay today, for the rest of my life.

-M.

Fic Retreat Weekend

So I went on the @ficwritersretreat this past weekend, and I just wanted to write a short note thanking EVERYONE there for their kindness and acceptance of my presence there even if I didn't write too much! I had SO much fun, and it was SO AMAZING putting faces to usernames I adore and admire and was so humbled by the love given to me in return. I definitely want to go back, though I don't think I'll be able to next year (due to the nature of my job, it's probable that next year won't happen), I'll be making a return in the future.

Seriously, it's been SO LONG since I've been able to drop my masks in real life and just BE ME, let myself be weird and silly, and draw without people constantly over my shoulder criticizing what I'm working on, and let me be silly when I DID write.

Thank you so much for the sense of community, and thank you @hubblegleeflower for organizing such a wonderful event. It was amazing. Thank you for making me feel so loved and wanted when I'm usually not.

Thank you for giving me a family.

💜🖤

Take out the only when you talk about your word count.

Instead of saying:

I only hit 200 words today.

Say:

I hit 200 words today

Hell, slap that little friend of ours, the exclamation point, at the end. Get fired up! Be proud, be excited!

You got writing done!

I'm so proud of you :)

I love you guys so much <3 thank you for being so kind to me, I never thought I’d connect with so many interesting, creative, wonderful ppl until I got on tumblr.

U guys r seriously the highlight of my bad days and I’ll always be grateful for every little interaction we have

[mellpoint]

I wish I could say I loved you the same. I wish I could say I'm sorry. I wish more than anything that things would've been a little different, I wish I could take away your worries. But the truth is that none of it is real. The truth hurts. The truths tells you I lied and played you and I know that is not what you want to hear. But out of all those made up moments we spent, I was always truthful about one thing. No matter what happens in this life or the next, I will always find my way to you and protect you, for you cannot protect yourself. Maybe that is why you fell in love with me. Maybe that is why you think of us as more. Maybe that is why its easier for me to lie to myself and say that I didnt even feel remorse And when you think back on the time we had. I hope you see all my actions and words for what they were, and not what you wanted them to be. If we are to meet in another life, I hope the ending is different. -M

[inevitably-ineffable-husbands]

Omg are you the Steph from Inevitably Johnlocked? That’s amazing, because I adore what you do with Johnlock, and now to see that you also have an Ineffable Husbands account… AMAZING!!!

Hey Lovely!

LOL you say that like I'm a celebrity HAHAHAH! I'm honoured you think so highly of my, but YES, I am the same Steph! :) Spending a lot of time over here right now, same amount of time as I am on @inevitably-johnlocked, so yeah, I am online too much LOL. I want to get around to writing some more meta here, but I don't have a lot of time :P

[themewsatten]

Very tearful when I opened this today. I write fan fiction with no delusions of being anything more than a mediocre writer. And, actually, I’m kind of OK with that. I try to improve all the time, obviously, but I’m someone who’s made peace with being middle of the road. I’ll never top any lists, but the process makes me happy, and I think that’s enough.

So when someone contacts me to let me know they’ve enjoyed one of my stories, obviously I’m thrilled. It bringing joy to me is one thing, but for it to create a bit of joy for someone else is much nicer. Positive feedback, given without any expectation of anything in return, is a gift; it’s kind and it’s heartwarming and there’s not enough kind and heartwarming in the world.

Imagine how proud and grateful I feel that the brilliant, not *at all* mediocre @dotsaremycomfortzone chose to print and bind a copy of my God’s Own Country AU, ‘Safe’. I’m still in disbelief that she thought it was good enough to be worth bothering her intricate, exquisite talent with, but being able to look at it and touch it makes me feel good about the sheer amount of hard work and vulnerability I put into that story. It may be an infinitesimally small achievement compared to many others out there, but holding this beautiful little book, it feels massive to me, like something I still can’t quite believe I’m capable of doing, even in a flawed way.

This arrived about an hour ago and it’s already one of my most precious treasures. It’s something I can pull out and gaze at when my confidence as a writer is a tripping hazard in hell (often!). It is a beautiful thing, beautifully done, and means an enormous amount to me.

Give @dotsaremycomfortzone a follow to see what she’s about. What an extraordinary talent. I cannot thank her enough.
