Don't you just hate it when you're trying to embark on a successful lesbian relationship but end up saying 'Let's rob a bank' instead?

Hello my darling!!!!! I just made a new blog and wanted to say I love all of the fac verse, you are an absolute pillar of the community. I remember when you posted the first chapter :') anyways your writng is AMAZING and has brought me to the floor several times, squealing like the fangirl I am. I love your writing :))))))

Hi!

Thank you so much - this is very kind and an excellent start to my day :))))

(also terrifying how close we are getting to it being a year since the first chapter - how did that happen so quickly??)

Happy Pride!!

It took me some time to realise it was actually June already...

But I got there in the end with a not entirely angsty edit XD

[falling-enthusiastically]

Hello, this is the same anon from last night.

So I read part 6 (Nothing hurts like you) and 12 (Little Blue) since I'm a masochist and I was bawling oh my god. It's so beautiful and so sweet and you've written it to be so painfully realistic. Your universe will be forever stuck in my head and I'm so grateful I found it thank you. You were my introduction to ao3 and I'm glad it was you

If I knew how to tumblr better I would probably have been able to answer both of these in one but I don't know what I'm doing *shrugs*

You are indeed a masochist - you'll fit right in on ao3 haha. I'm glad I could have been your introduction to it - once you are there you will probably not leave XD

I've just finished all 56 chapters of Four's a Crowd part 1 in two days (I have exams and deadlines soon but uni can wait) and oh my god that was incredible! You write so beautifully I'm in tears. Thank you for this masterpiece!!! I can't wait to read the other parts! I'd say more but I only just finished reading it a minute ago and thoughts are not thought-ing

Hello!

Thank you for reading, I'm glad you enjoyed it!! That is an impressive amount of reading to do in 2 days XD

And I'm sorry for any emotional damage caused/effect this may have on your exams :p

Shoot From The Hip Longforms #1-50

I wanted to make an edit to show all 50 longforms that SFTH have made so far. It's fair to say the camera quality has increased XD but the chaos has remained fairly consistent...

Here's to 50 more?

[falling-enthusiastically]

since the fac sequel has a plan, is there an estimated word count for it? can we expect a monster like fac????

Ooh good question!

When I say plan, I mean the first 12 chapters are semi-written/outlined and then I just have bullet points for certain arcs that are going to happen but don't have a place yet. Can't be too organised about it 😂

But based on that, it's definitely going to be closer to fac in terms of word count than anything else I've written. As a (very rough) estimate I'd expect it to be in the 100k-200k range depending on my varying inspiration levels while writing it 😇😂

[falling-enthusiastically]

:(((((( Thank you!!! (this is a happy sad face, I promise)

its so scary to put yourself out there but a SINGLE message saying "hi i loved what you made it touched me in some way" makes it all worth it 10000%

[falling-enthusiastically]

WHAT GAVE YOU THE RIGHT!!??? 😭😭😭😭

you know exactly what this is about >:(

(real talk: it was genuinely amazing I thoroughly enjoyed it, your angst is exquisite as ever I just was not mentally prepared)(also I finally subbed to the series because apparently I hadn’t??? don’t know what I was on, can only apologise for my lack of commitment 😔)

No idea what you're talking about... :p

I'm just an innocent little writer writing HAPPY HAPPY fics 😇

(also real talk: thank you! I was mildly scared of posting it and went very back and forth on even writing it but here we are. I don't know how mentally prepared I am to write the rest of it but I already have thoughts so... Oh dear XD )

[falling-enthusiastically]

To be honest, there is no coherent theme here - it's mostly just AJ having a breakdown and Luke laughing at everything (so an accurate summary of SFTH really...)

[falling-enthusiastically]

hii, last anon here- it's nora, i forgot to mention it last time :') also uhm yes your ability to write so much angst so quickly is BEYOND ME. i'm normally pretty good at writing angst, but i struggle with it with these four for some reason :'))

literally just had half a crisis about would aj call him tommy in that text because he's drunk and knows he's hurting tom and that's what he always called him to ease the pain or would he be very respectful of boundaries and very much showing that there's nothing going on anymore and it's all in the past and uughhh- it IS fun, there's a reason i mostly write angst in other fandoms, it just hurts so much more when it's these four :')))

You can't just give me these thoughts about them and expect me to go about my day normally Nora!! XD

Seriously the day you upload some angst I'm going to die (in a good way) - well I will read it first but then I will die (a lovely excuse to use my favourite Tom quote, 'please just kill me')

[falling-enthusiastically]

uurghhgh oh god i am writing a "hey guys do u wanna come to my wedding haha it would mean a lot but i know we're kinda exes so no pressure" text for my angsty oneshot and my heart is bleeding, thank you for writing flower themed fluff to make it all okay

Well consider me intrigued...

(I also find it very funny that I'm over here finding it Hard Work to write fluff but will happily write angst with no second thoughts)

*insert vaguely coherent british yelling*

somehow I missed it off my low-key ESSAY of a rambling comment on ao3 but I am so proud of what you’ve achieved with FaC and I hope you are too!! Creating something of that length and depth and just absolute QUALITY, in general but also whilst studying a PHYSICS PHD?? insane achievement >>>

you have my complete respect and admiration and honestly have permanently altered my brain chemistry in ways I want to study under a microscope and maybe an MRI machine (I’m a neuroscientist-in-training, for context :D)

⬆️⬆️ in the absence of a true meme…this is what finding FaC felt like :D

wishing you all the best with your studies!! and undoubtedly I will continue to (politely) yell in your comment section 🫡

*returns British yelling*

Hello!!!

You are way too nice ahhh! I am really proud of it, thank you :)))

Insane is definitely how the PhD makes me feel on a regular basis but I did fully do this to myself so I blame past me for all mistakes (also I just like complaining and when my brain is working properly, I do actually really enjoy it lol)

Good luck fellow STEM human! Can't wait to be politely yelled at from time to time :p

[falling-enthusiastically]

CONGRATS ON FINISHING FAC!!! I only started reading it when it was already 40 ish chapters but omg I adored every second of it!!

Nora!!! Hello :)

Thank you so much! And if you never read the final chapter, did it ever actually end? :p (the temptation to just never write the final chapter was strong but I'm not that mean haha)
