Congrats on eleventy-one OFMD fics! You have a fic list of special magnificence! 🎉

My dear people, my dear readers and commentors and fellow fic-writers, kudos-leavers and lurkers and readers who don't have an ao3 account but leave an unhinged guest comment anyway. Also my good tumblr mutuals I welcome back daily to my blog. I have posted one hundred and eleven fics: eleventy-one fics posted!

I hope you are all enjoying yourselves reading my fics as much as I did writing them. I shall not keep you long. I have called you all together for a Purpose. Indeed, for Three Purposes!

First of all, to tell you that I am immensely fond of you all, from those of you who leave essays as comments to those of you who read and enjoy my fics privately, and that eleventy-one fics is too small an amount to get the full enjoyment out of sharing my work with such an excellent and admirable fandom.

I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

Secondly, to celebrate my eleventy-first fic. I should say: OUR eleventy-first fic. For I never would have posted eleventy-one fics if I didn't have you to share them with.

I wish to make an ANNOUNCEMENT.

If any of you ever thought that I was going to stop with eleventy-one fics, you were much mistaken! I regret to announce that I am never going to shut up or stop posting fics, and you can celebrate or mourn that as you please.

GOOD-BYE!
