Just wanted to say, thank you all so much for 20K reads on HoDR1! I'm still so overwhelmed that this silly little series gets so much love from so many people all over the world. I'm going to have weekends off from now on (no more retail for me yeet) so hopefully I can start regularly updating again! Thank you again for all the love and support over the past 7 1/2 years!!

I'm not sure if you'll ever read this, but I just wanted to say that ever since I was around 15 yrs old, your HoD series has always been one of my favorite fanfics I've read in my life. Even now, as I am in college, I still go back and read the series again and again.
          
          Seeing how you write these characters and even seeing how you grow felt inspiring, giving me hope that I can be more than how I am. 
          
          Hopefully, one day, I can gather my own will to write the stories I have in mind inspired by your HoD series. I even developed my own characters for HoD, and perhaps even as an alternative universe of some sorts.
          
          Thank you so much for writing and inspiring me, and I hope your life is filled with enough joy and support to counter the pain you may face in the future.

@ebearskittychan Well, good news! I have published a story that will feature one of my original characters. As a sneak peek, he is, in fact, a Halcandran like Magolor. That's all. There is only one part for now, but I might be able to post a new chapter soon.
            
            (P.S. I'm also the one who reached out to you in Threads ^^)

Oh my gosh, I just happened to log in and saw this, and I am crying now (happy tears!). It's so crazy to me to think that people are still thinking about and returning to and loving my stories. 
            
            My life looks incredibly different now from how it did even just a few years ago, in many good ways. I'm 26 (almost 27) now, I have a wonderful and supportive irl friend group, I bought my own house this past winter, and I live in it with two cats, finally free of the abusive environment in which I had grown up. On top of that, I get paid to write for a living. So I am doing very well overall!!
            
            The one big downside of writing for work full-time is I don't often have the mental energy to write for fun. But even though I haven't updated in over a year, I've been thinking about my stories a lot the past few weeks and have been really wanting to get back into writing HoDR4. I actually opened the Wattpad app to reread it so I could get my head back to where I was when I was writing it and hopefully work on continuing it in the near future. I will probably never get back to my posting schedule of multiple updates each week from way back in my high school and college days, but I would love to get to the point I'm updating a few times a month again, at least. I promise I haven't abandoned these stories!!
            
            And I would LOVE to read your stories and "meet" your characters. Knowing my silly lil creations have inspired others to create is honestly the biggest honor.
            
            Thank you so, so much for your kind words. I hope you have an amazing day, and poyo on!! <(^-^)^

I read these when I was in my early teens, your stories about dreamland have stayed with me since and helped me resonate with story telling as my first step into fanfic, thank you!!

You're super welcome! It always makes me happy when people who read my stories way back when say they've stuck with them. Thanks for checking in!

I used to read your Kirby fics as a kid and I just wanna say those stories have chemically altered my brain in a good way. ❤️

@ExtraEclair It was @Reefruff2 :) I was heavily inspired by you to try and write stories.

Hey of course! I was a kid when I wrote some of them and they still chemically alter my brain on the reg. May I ask if you used to have an account here/what the @ was? :0
