#my muse is still hanging around (and is so incredibly well fed w these asks)

I hope this is understood, English is not my first language and tbh, half of this is written with the help of the translator, but I really couldn't let this pass.

I've been following you for I think almost two years now and I wanted to tell you what an incredible ride it has been. When I first entered the marauders fandom, I must say that I had read the books quite some time ago (years) and I really believed that several fanon characterizations were 100% faithful to canon, but since I came across your account and your stories you made me see Sirius, James and Harry (in general all the other characters you have sometimes referred to) in a whole new light, you made me love them in a whole new and much bigger way. Your way of characterizing them, analyzing them and sharing them with us has fascinated me.

Your stories are something else too, I can't tell you how much I love, how much I adore and appreciate your stories, your way of writing, never before have I followed so religiously what an author does, I became horribly obsessed with everything you share with us, I swear that sometimes I feel like you expand my brain when I read your stories and I am very, very grateful that you are back, I can't express the emotion and joy I felt when I saw that you were back and that you were well.

I've also been following FoD since the beginning and I just... I can't even begin to describe how much I love this story and how it feels like a patch to my heart, feels like a blessing from heavens. I really wanted to tell you how much I appreciate and thank you for all the love, effort and constancy you've put into this story, I know sometimes it's not easy to continue and if you take some time again, I'll patiently wait for you to come back, but I didn't want to pass up this moment to tell you how much I appreciate, adore, love your writing, your stories and your account in general, it really has been a reset your account to my way of seeing Harry Potter and for that I thank you.

I hope this didn't come out so formal and long asdfghjkl take care✨️✨️

hello, friend. i’ve sat w this for a few days, largely because i was honestly so overcome that i had no idea how to reply in a way that did you justice 🙈 clearly, that didn’t help bc i’m still a fumbling, inarticulate mess haha

it is such a surreal experience to hear that you’ve been with me for so many years now, and that you follow along w my silly little hcs and fics is just. literally the greatest compliment ever, i’m not even kidding. i can literally feel the love bleeding through the screen from your words. it is so so humbling. i will never understand how i got the privilege of so many wonderful people around me, supporting and loving me.

FoD is just, the child of my heart, my messy little baby that literally fought to be brought out into the world. it’s gone through a lot of ups and downs but it’s honestly you and everyone else who’s keeping it going. i had literally lost all motivation for writing, felt so disconnected from my own works, and it was seeing asks like this and the comments people had left that dragged me back here. (quite happily, i might add. i went along for the ride quite smugly)

so, thank you. thank you so much for supporting me and loving my works and checking in with me and the unconditional regard. i will never ever be able to convey exactly how much it means to me.
