When I started writing fanfic back in the dark ages (2020) I would never have guessed that one day I’d be holding bound copies of my own writing. My writing. In actual physical book form.
Bound by not one but two amazingly talented people who liked my silly little stories so much they bound them for themselves. Not only that, but they also then bound a second copy and sent it to me (not a small feat, we live in completely different countries and they took nearly 3 months to get here).
I am stunned. Awed. Amazed. Humbled. So very grateful. They are sitting next to my keyboard and I keep stroking them like they’re cats. They are so pretty! Each is so perfectly suited for the plot of the fic too. A hunter’s journal for the SPN/911 crossover and colour changing scales for the Merman Buck fic? I could never have imagined such perfection or had the skill to do this myself.
Thank you, my wonderful fandom friends. You have given me a truly unique gift that I treasure. And that my family is fighting over about who gets to read which first!
If you’re curious about the fics. Mind the tags: Trust me, Darlin’ Cherish
Ok I know all parents are biased but I think I might have the sweetest son ever? I've been really sick and forgot to post a chapter on Monday night as scheduled. Felt terrible about it when I remembered the next day and when kiddo got home from school he offered to post it for me if I told him what to do (picture my voice croaking hoarsely from the bed while he sits with my laptop on a chair nearby).
I asked him to make a note apologising for me and also so they know it wasn't me in case of posting errors etc. Woke today to some comments mentioning his note that had me scratching my head so went and read it myself and nearly melted. I adore him. Here is what he wrote:
(for context, he is 14, holy shit actually he's 15 next month wth, and just hit 6'3". Yes, my baby is TALLER than Oliver Stark. Kiddo is still in his weedy era though)
He is going to have something special when he gets home today.
And yes, he cooked his own dinner last night, it was actually toasted sandwiches not toast but close enough!
my flight home was April 1 and my gf was like “something came up, I can’t come over today.” Which was okay with me. So I get home and lug all my crap into my room and there she is, sitting in my bed smiling and saying “April fools” 🥺
