Neha - Our Shining Star

16

Well, Neha Di. First of all I have no idea how to start so I'm going to hope that just like my fanfic chapters, I can wing it.

So. When I opened the first introductory chapter of your first Karna-Arjun fic "Karna and his Brothers in a Different World", I was hesitant about actually reading it, since it proclaimed how much Arjun was your favourite character, because I've had bad experience with fanatics(both Karna and Arjun) and usually great fans(or fanatics) of one, do not portray the other in a very good light. But then I started reading and then I was immediately pulled in. I remember my first "chefs kiss" comment lmao.

And there were the messages in the comments with me and Mishu trying to guess the plot. Well, that was the last time I've really had to GUESS a plot of your Karna-Arjun fic lmao.

Then ofc, the private messages started(Unfortunately, I can't remember who messaged first). And now we literally cannot go A DAY without messaging.

I talk to you about almost everything literally, frustration about schools, anywhere we are going, the way exams kill me, everything. And of course we keep discussing fanfiction plots (I'm so proud for having come up with so many of them and if not come up, then having a significant role it outlining what are some of the best fanfictions I've ever read because you're that good of an Author Di.) and discussing the psychology of Mahabharat characters.

Now. Let's divide the rest of this into two parts.

Neha Di- The Writer

When you write, you write with all your heart. And I'm lucky enough to get to kind of see the process of writing. I am amazed by how you don't care at all about any comments or votes and how your only aim is to write and write, only for the pleasure of writing. That's the mark of a true author in my opinion and if you ever publish your own book, I'll be sure to read it!

(Reading anything you write is also great fun because they seem to cater to all my needs-though I realise that might be in part since I help you come up with what to write lol)

We don't really share too many common interests fandom wise, except Harry Potter which we hardly talk about and Mahabharat and there also only Karna-Arjun really. And yet, we are never short of things to discuss about writing on them and that is of course in part thanks to your eagerness of writing. And I have NEVER seen anyone update as fast as you and as such I officially anoint you the title of "Speedster."

Neha Di-The friend and Didi

Well. This is the main part. Never have I been gladder to have opened the fic than your "Karna and his brothers" one. If I hadn't, we wouldn't have gotten to know each other and that would be a proper travesty.

Over the course of the last few months, I've spoken to you about anything and everything and that's because you're very easy to talk to. You seem to radiate friendliness and you make people want to be open with you.

The day I truly started considering you as Didi was when you helped me with that Liquid Chapter by voice call and share screen(I might catch hold of you someday again to help lol). After that, there has been no end to my adoration.

I always eagerly wait for your messages in my inbox and whenever I see them, I cannot help but smile. I hope that I am able to make you smile sometimes too.

You were the very first person I ever spoke to on wattpad and that's only right, because there could have been and there is no else and no one better than you.

I've never really had an elder sister(The only elder first cousin I have is a brother. The rest are all younger). But you've made me feel like I have an elder sister.

When I had initially come with the idea of this Fanclub, it had been a joke, but then. Mishu said that we could actually do it and I was like "WHY NOT?" So off we went, trying to message everybody who might adore our Neha Di like we do(well, not as much, perhaps).

Mishu has asked me not to argue about the Biggest Fan thing so I won't, but that's because it's true. She IS your biggest Fan. But then, so am I. Both of us are(She can just be a little more possessive lmao). There's no competition. And we'll both love and support you through all your works and anything else that you might want to do!

My message is not as big as Mishu's but given that it's longer than anyone else's I hope its enough. I want to write more, but I really don't know what else to say. As it is, we'll talk today and tomorrow and later. So anything else I need to say will come when it needs to.

In a very short time, you've become a very special person in my life. You are smart, sweet, nice, funny, kind, caring, friendly and I wish I could be like you(especially the really smart part lmao, it would help me get JEE). And above all,

You Are My Shining Star.
