Just gotta say, I've just read some of your Roosmav stuff from 2023, and so good!! If you ever feel like writing again, I'll be cheering you on!
Aww, thank you, anon! One of these days, I hope that people might be comfortable coming off of anon because I still kind of feel like I am speaking into the abyss sometimes, but I'm glad that there are people who have such kind things to say, even anonymously. <3
I have a long story in Roosmav, which I don't know how many people are aware of, but as a result of ways I acted for part of 2022 (I complained a lot about bottom!Bradley, compared underage bottom!Bradley to childhood abuse - I don't feel any of that now, and I'm pretty sure that those really strange thoughts I had once had were the result of a severe manic episode, which I have since done a lot of work in real life to process and overcome), I made a lot of people in the Roosmav fandom very uncomfortable and have never been able to have a normal presence in Roosmav since.
Which has been very difficult for me because I have so much I still want to write and draw for Roosmav! To be honest, I don't think I will ever say no to more writing because being creative on my own has been how I have been able to keep Bradley and Maverick alive in my own head, but it's very difficult when nothing you do is taken objectively. I had been given word in good faith that it was never told not to interact with me/my works, but I think that as a result of precedent, not many feel comfortable openly interacting, which really sucks. Especially with The Gorge coming out - like, I am super excited for that movie, but I don't have anyone to get excited about it with. :/// But knowing me, I'll just try to keep the Miles enthusiasm going for myself.
Thank you for the very sweet message, anon! I had no idea anyone actually liked my writing, tbh, so it feels like it was worth it to have tried for the first time in my life. (I also did make one friend through my writing: the amazing and talented @pushthequorumbutton (AO3: plingo_kat)! My beautiful writer friends @alakeeffectgirl (AO3: Lake (beyond_belief)) and @bog-beast (AO3: bogbeast) were also amazing to work with, as well, and I will always cherish the experience of having their help with my writing.)
Edit: Since I am making this my pinned post, I am adding this photo of Miles, which had previously been my pinned post. Guuhhhh, this is still one of my favorite pictures of him - absolutely adorable!
