It’s been a busy busy day after going out of town this weekend so honestly I’m running behind on absolutely everything but I’d be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge this, so even if it’s not this grand thing I had envisioned, I want to thank every single person that’s every interacted with the SDDU, over the past year.

Today marks one year since I first posted the moodboards for the concept that was the San Diego Dogfighters. I was excited for the upcoming hockey season and just wanted to express that in tandem with the TGM fandom and posted those moodboards as a concept series, with no plans to turn them into a fic or even a series. I couldn’t have foreseen what an insane effect it would have on my life. I hadn’t written fanfiction in years let alone posted any, but people asked if the SDDU would be a fic and I decided to give it a try. Inspired by @sailor-aviator ‘s writing journey and genuine joy for writing, I started writing and posting Snitches Get Stitches a few days later and the rest is history.

Earlier this year I’d given up on continuing the series publicly and left the site, but the love of my friends and support for the series brought me back. When I returned I didn’t expect people to come back or even care that I was back and yet I experienced such an overwhelming wave of love and support and thanks to all of you, I can continue to do what I love most, sharing stories with you. It’s been such an insane journey and one that I’ll never stop being thankful for.

Thank you to my loyal readers and friends who have been with me every step of the way, through all the bumps in the road. Thank you to the people who just picked up the series and those who have been here since day 1. Thank you for making the SDDU what it’s become!

This week I want to take the time and celebrate this universe that means so much to me, and to plenty of you! I have a special surprise planned for the anniversary of the fics themselves, on October 9! I also want to host a SDD Press Conference this week to celebrate and I’ll make a more detailed post about that tomorrow but feel free to start sending in questions for the characters and/or me if you’ve participated before and know the gist!

I want to finish this post by adding in the moodboards that started it all, since they’re no longer on here since I deleted my old blog. 💚💛🩶 I love you all and thank you so much for everything!

I feel like Mickey is so underrated!! So I’d love to hear about muscle memory! 🫶🏻

Yessss there needs to be more stuff out there for Mickey fr!!! I’m so excited for Muscle Memory!!! It’s going to be a second chance romance with Mickey’s college girlfriend. She’ll be joining the Dogfighters next season as broadcaster for the team. It’s going to be chocked full of drama (as usual) and we’ll get to hear more about Mickey’s and Zam’s time in college together!

I NEEED to know more about the trope that will be used in the Mickey series 🥺

I talked about it a little here! Heavy on the second-chance romance vibes. To give you a little bit more, I think we’re going to see an interesting side of Zam in this fic (yes I KNOW it’s Mickey’s fic but there’s a reason) and her relationship with Mickey.

There’s definitely going to be some tension in this fic when it comes to interpersonal relationships within the team that comes along with Pidge’s arrival. It’s also the start of the Dogfighters’ second season at this point.

If you want more ideas about Pidge and Mickey’s relationship and the vibes, I’ll direct you to the song that inspired the title of the fic.
