hey! do i have your permission to print personal copies of your spencer reid fics? i’m not into rereading stories and going back to them, but in all honesty, i’ve come back to your stories at least twice since reading them. i would love to have a physical copy to get an even deeper connection with the story. can i email you or contact you on discord regarding this?

@adwiin that sounds so cool! I'd love to chat more.

Deterrent is now complete! Thank you to everyone who has read it. I loved all your characters so much, and I'm more than a little devastated to wave goodbye to them. So bittersweet.
          
          And now, on with Decorum! I missed this week's update because of Deterrent, but now it's got my full attention.

Hey, I saw your comment saying this might be a scam. Could you tell me more about it? How can I tell if it’s really a scam, and what would they even do if they are real scammers? It’s making me feel uneasy and honestly a bit scared, since I don’t even know who they are or why they’re doing this. I saw that you look experienced on Wattpad, so I thought you might have the best answer, and I trust that you’re not a scammer yourself .

@ENGENE_19 no worries! Hopefully Wattpad handles it. If I just report and mute, I never have any trouble!

@curiosityanddreams Thanks so much for replying so fast, I really appreciate it. Yesterday was rough because of them — I was honestly scared. Your words mean a lot, and I’ll try to stay careful. Hopefully, they’ll just leave us alone.

Silly question about faceclaims, how representative do they have to be?
          
          I'm casting a family, and I've been looking around for an actor with an intellectual disability to play a character. I know that in the real acting world, casting diversely is not just vital, but necessary. But like, I can't find an actor who fits what I'm looking for with an intellectual disability. I could leave him as an uncast sibling, but that feels othering, like he's some monster that can't be played by anyone else.
          
          Am I find to cast like, another actor who doesn't openly have an intellectual disability? It's not like he's actually speaking or playing the part. It's just his face, and people with intellectual disabilities look like just the rest of us. But I don't know. I'd feel ickier if I was talking about a physical disability, you know?
          
          Alternatively, any one know of any white male actors (not reality tv stars or other famous people) in their late 20s/ early 30s with intellectual disabilities? Of course, I have way more detail about the family I can share, but meh for now.

I (personally) think that if you’ve looked and gen can’t find a fit for that specific intellectual disability then it’s fine.

I know I ask this semi-regularly, but people who have read Banality and or Precedent: how should I describe them in their titles?
          
          The longer I sit on it, the more that I think it can be read in either order and still be a good time. And I think people would be more interested in Precedent first but I think Banality is less fun when read second, so like... How should I caption them? Which do you wish you had read first?

@curiosityanddreams the plot twist of banality was gripping to read. I think it would be ruined reading precedent first. The slow burn of Inverness Jane and Draco would be ruined by knowing there’s a reveal halfway through the book. Their weird dynamic in the first half of banality was sooo good and different. Reading precedent first kind of feels like every other enemies to lovers draco fan fic, but their story is so much more than that!!
