Hi Helloo I've Been Wanting To Tell You Just How Obsessed I Am With Your Writing!! Especially Your Gale

hi helloo i've been wanting to tell you just how obsessed I am with your writing!! 🙏 especially your gale and mystra ones?! you portray their dynamic with such nuance it's like crack 2 me... it's influenced how i view gale and it makes him so much more interesting to play around with >:) (your post about act 3 mystra romantically pursuing gale was what got me absolutely hooked. the last line killed me💔)

also i love seeing your tags on my gale mystra art like. you get exactly what I was going for !! you're the first to comment about their heights and hands which i was hoping someone would notice!! ahh i'm incredibly flattered :') it motivates me to draw them more hehe. anyways this is so long but thank you for all your writing i absolutely love reading it💞

screams… thank u so much…

I genuinely feel the same way about your artwork, all of ur choices feel so intentional and ur symbolism is so specific (im drooling thinkin about gale’s kneeling position in ur last piece) I’m always so excited to sit with ur pieces and pick them apart for that kinda stuff. looking at ur art is so uniquely rewarding; you have such incredible skill and I feel blessed ur using it to put gale art into the world

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again! We have the same mystra brainworm! I feel so lucky to be stuck in this endless gale/mystra feedback/motivation loop with you bc ur commentary motivates me as well >:) much love!! 💟💟

8 and 20 for the fic writer questions!

source!

8. Do you prefer the beginning, middle, or end of a story?

It totally depends what I’m working on—I absolutely HATE writing the ends of smut fics (and it’s very obvious I rush through doing it) because to me the most interesting part of a sexual experience is the middle. It’s where I try to fit in the most characterization/dynamic building details because it always feels natural to kinda slot them in there. But if I’m rambling about Mystra on tumblr? I love endings. I try to make my angstier stuff kind of pack a punch at the end, and I think it’s fun to finish with something a little ~haunting~

20. Have you noticed any patterns in your fics? Words/expressions that appear a lot, themes, common settings, etc?

oh my god. too fucking many. I’m a chronic phrase reuser (though I’ve been trying to get better about it recently!!) I think thematically I really like ideas of obsession and devotion which is why I like writing gale so much. I also tend to prefer setting stuff as close to canon as possible, it’s much easier for me to work with!

i keep telling myself i can’t handle longer projects but in the last four days i wrote 23,377 words just totally by the seat of my pants
