But what no one can tell her is what happens when she falls in love again.

Hey, Zep! I just wanted to ask- are there any writers on here who motivate you to write or you’re inspired from when you read their work? Or just some who are generally amazing? I’m looking for inspo myself :)

Hi there!

Oh hell yeah! There are plenty of writers on here that I admire and have shouted out their work a lot. They're all on my various rec lists, which you can find on my Navigation page (and in each fandom/character masterlist):

Supernatural Fic Rec List

Dean Winchester AU Fic Rec List

Beau Arlen Fic Rec List

Soldier Boy Fic Rec List

Also, if you ever want to see what I'm reading, just search the "zepskies reads" tag on my blog and you'll find all the fics I've reviewed and left comments on.

This is also why I reblog what I read and enjoy--not just to shoutout people's work and share it with others, but also so I can find those stories later!
