things that happened between the last time i logged into wattpad and now:
          -i aged to older than rodrick
          -i stopped writing fanfiction and migrated to substack to focus on my essay and narrative writing
          -i was a speaker at my high school graduation 
          -i got into my dream college
          -i tried to kms
          -i survived!
          -i turned 18
          -i hit 300+ days sober for the first time since i was a teenager 
          -i kept falling in and out of love with writing
          ——but i grew substantially as a writer
          ——and ultimately realized i wanted to become a teacher 
          -i started bouldering 
          -i started sewing
          -i learned to sing classically
          -i finally made irl friends
          -i realized i was probably cis (she/her)
          -i fell for my best friend 
          ——and now he’s my boy!
          this is to say, hey guys <3 i actually logged into wattpad to delete my account but seeing all the lovely comments on add it up and golden hour got me feeling a bit nostalgic. writing was, truly, my first love, and for better or worse, fanfiction kept me writing. i migrated to ao3 but wrote oneshots before i discovered substack and started writing essays and narratives—which i’ve always preferred. but i wouldn’t be the writer i am today without all the love i got on the silly, cringey, self indulgent slop i wrote when i was 14. never be afraid to tell your favorite authors how much you love their work, because you never know what it will do for them <3

thank you so so sooooo much for 9k on add it up 3,) you’re all such real ones

add it up hit 7k. ADD IT UP HIT 7K OH MY FUCK

thanks for 1k reads on golden hour! 

i've made it. i got recommended my own fanfiction. this is the best day of my life. 

guys i would actually cry if add it up made it to 5k on my birthday 

watching add it up slowly approach 5k is literally everything to me and more. i never expected my silly fanfic to get as big as it did. love you all. 

add it up is almost to 4k reads im currently shitting tears

pallet house is doing so good on ao3

after much consideration, i have officially decided to continue golden hour. it’s not my best work. but i wanna see rodrick and ben get a cute little bittersweet ending. i’ll write one more chapter, because it’s been incredibly well received on both ao3 and wattpad! not every plot thread will have a satisfying conclusion delivered to it, but rodrick and ben’s relationship will hopefully end on a happy enough note :)
