Kate, I have to thank you for popping in here and talking about Our Flag Means Death and how it reignited your fandom love. Because it did the same for Jacqueline, and got her to write for the first time in many years. And that has been a great joy to her, reclaiming her creative self.
I was so thrilled to beta for her and get to help shepherd her wonderful stories into the world. Usually I'm quite content to be a fandom nobody with like 20 followers, but I so wish right now that I had a much wider reach so that I could get lots of people to read her stories and tell her how great they are. She is a truly gifted writer, and I'm so glad that she found her way back to writing last year.

The thing is, even in the just-everyday-mundane most simple of writing, it can't possibly be missed, how evocative her writing is, how full of spirit. She is such a gifted writer, in every form of writing - she creates images and emotions and full experiences even just in her most simple everyday posts. Her creative self is present in every single one of her sentences I've ever been lucky enough to read.
(I'm sorry, I'm not making any sense. I'm trying to not-skim quite a few posts. I'm sorry. And I'm definitely not ignoring all of the rest of you! I'm just sorry)
Only right that Jacqueline is where you put more attention, Nilly.
I'm sorry, I'm not making any sense.
Oh no, Nilly. You are making perfect sense.
Jacqueline is now logged into Buffistas on my laptop, and she has her new glasses.
So she can catch up here a bit.
Natter and glasses. A little slice of old normal.
I wish OFMD had fannishly clicked for me so that I could truly appreciate Jacqueline's brilliance. I shake my fist at my brain!
Hi, JZ!! Sending you lots of love.
Plei, same. I watched the whole season and just… felt nothing but mild annoyance. It was very sad.
On another topic, I seem to be crashing from my latest emotional supernova. And the initial shock/euphoria from Robby’s revelation is wearing off and reality is setting in. It’s only natural that my response wouldn’t be sheer glee, this is a big thing, so now I’ve got to find resources (already underway) and find a balance of being supportive and dealing with my own feelings. And which to share with her (she/her as of now) and which to take elsewhere.
Hi Kate! Hi Shir! So good to see everyone’s pixels.
