Bruh I only read ao3 original fic and I think hands down besides for one other author you have THE biggest fandom for ao3 original fic. Congrats dude your writing deserves it

Ahhh wow!

Tbh there's so many good original authors on AO3, I'm not sure I deserve the amazing folks who read and create stuff around my stuff, I feel very lucky and fortunate to be here, but I'm not more talented than some of the other original authors I've read on AO3! I might be more tenacious re: social media presence though, lol.

I've met the best people doing my job this way, tbh, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. For a long time I really felt like I should do things the 'right way' (publish novels, delete anything that was popular on AO3 and rebrand it into a novel, etc. etc. novels blah blah novels), and then one day it was like no, actually, this is the right way. :D

I tripped into this way of doing things and frankly it was my readers who led me here. They were the ones who asked me to make this Tumblr, and to open a Patreon, and to open a Ko-Fi, and they're the ones who show me which stories they love the most and the ones who help me become a (hopefully) better writer.

So yeah, I'll keep turning up as long as others keep turning up, and that's a fun thing to be doing. :D
