Hey Lovelies,

I really don't want to have to post this, but I need to. This is V. It has been a while since I have been on here, life and all. B has been the one keeping this blog going. I hate to be the one telling you guys this, but my best friend B is no longer with us. I have decided that I keep the blog up in her honor. So that people can still read her work. I know this is short and not alot, its hard right now. I'm still processing everything.

-V

P.S. If you were really good friends with B, you can message me on my main account if you want to talk. @vampiratesgrl

YOU THERE! YES YOU! FIC READER!

I just read a fic from 2013 and left a comment on the end. The author responded within 3 hours.

Please leave comments on fics. It doesn't matter if you don't know what to say I literally made a joke about a space worm. Please comment on fics it'll make the authors day even if its from 9 years ago.

I wrote a thing! It’s a mini horror collection of 3 short stories all about 3 different people who find coffins in some odd places. It’s only $1.99 USD. If you can spare the change for it, I’d appreciate it, and if you can’t, a boost is also super appreciated!

[fantasydrabble]

woke up this morning to a comment on a fic saying they hoped I didn’t mind them commenting on such an old fic, and the fic isn’t even a year old, so I’m going to reiterate: I can’t speak for every single fanfic writer in the world, but I don’t know a single one myself who wouldn’t be thrilled to get comments on years-old fanfic! there is no deadline! it honestly made my day
