fragments readers don’t hate me but i’m considering unpublishing every chapter, and will subsequently republish each one as they undergo rewriting and editing ;-; almost nothing about the story itself will change, though — bellamy just deserves better writing and storytelling!

big fan of doing this (doing it with radiance currently, though i want to rewrite more before i unpublish it and get most of it ready to go) and i will support you in whatever you decide !!!

editing & rewriting old chapters for stories is so embarrassing for no reason. like no way people actually read this and liked it and put up with my grammatical errors and unnecessarily verbose prose?? oh my gosh

is this a safe space to say i liked my life with the walter boys and ultimately did not Vibe with the summer i turned pretty… cole and alex are both not only good choices but good people, jackie isn’t frustrating like belly, and the side characters actually have depth SORRYYYY

@Iydiamartin yeah, it should be a place you can openly say anything without judgement babes! I personally haven't seen much of either show and I honestly think, objectively, both shows are a little on the "Wattpad"-ish side. Sort of Colleen Hoover level overrated, but I kind of enjoy TSITP more when I have enough time to get into it. I liked the first two seasons but havent seen much of the third to have an opinion yet lol. Walter Boys isnt really on my radar cus I've found Netflix romance to be sickly predictable and cringe in terms of dialogue and plots. Never feel bad for having a stance or difference in opinion. Keep it and stay  strong in it. No one can make you feel inferior without your consent! No judgement from me at all. I respect your point ❤️

@Iydiamartin as long as it's also a safe space for me to say I can't vibe with either of them??? Like I read the OG MLWTWB HERE on Wattpad BEFORE it was published, but I was like 14. I can't put myself back into that mindset to actually enjoy it when I look back and cringe at the story in the first place. (And part of me is over the whole 'two brothers, one girl' thing, so that's also a factor) and I'm not a big romcom type person, so I'd be skipping SO MUCH of TSITP, it wouldn't be worth it IMO

for me, i think it was watching some promo clips for masters of the air, where they were reading old love letters from the war… i watched anthony’s and my brain went “oh?? hello?”

there’s something so fulfilling yet crushing about writing fics for inactive/dead fandoms ;-;

starryeyedturtle

@Iydiamartin it’s funny you say that, because i have seen a few clips from the show, and seeing crosby was what made me change emrys’s face claim to anthony boyle!! so i love him already. really want to see the whole show if it pops up somewhere where i can watch it.

@starryeyedturtle oh, how i love connecting with fellow people who are similarly starved for fandom content!! and YES, you should definitely watch MotA when you get the chance – it reminds me so much of 1917 (you will LOVE croz’s character in particular ok, john brady too TRUST)

Hey! I've been following your work for a while now, but I had to create a new account since I couldn’t remember my old one. It’s been a bit of a hassle, honestly, but I’m really excited to reconnect with your stories! I’ve lost track of all the books I was planning to read, so I was hoping you could recommend some, especially from the fandoms you’ve written for. Also, if you have any favourites of your own, I’d love to check them out.
          
          Thanks so much!
