I would formally like to thank the lovely @aesflms for hosting the 2024 fanfic awards!! My fanfic The Green Dragon won first place for best HOTD fic, and if you know me, you know- despite the fact that fic tends to give me severe writer's anxiety- that it is a very special (and with certain content, personal) to me. I could not be more overjoyed and/or thrilled.
I would also like to just say thank you to all the lovely people I've managed to meet in the past year, (well really, ten months, but who's counting? I'm totally not.) I have had many ups and downs- mostly downs because my health sucks, but y'know, details, details.
I hope that next year I can get on a more consistent writing schedule, that I'll stop fearing the idea of writing something that people might despise and loathe, that I meet more incredible, inspiring people, and that *fingers crossed* I manage to open up a plot shop for all the ideas that I've either lost a spark for or just simply don't feel like I'm capable of handling.
Overall this year has been difficult. My iron levels have had the dramatic-ness of a theater kid at a 24-hour diner, but I live out another day, churning out ideas as fast as Hamilton without his the speed he wrote those ideas with.
Again, thank you all for putting up with me. I hope you have a fantastic next year <33
