first off, i LOVED lost then found. its pretty much my favourite fic of all time. i reread it constantly, especially if i’ve had a hard time. i’ve just wondered, who did you picture joanie as? i picture her as being played by martha since she shares the names of debbie (of) maddox’s children and husband. again, love your writing!

hello! thank you so much for this! it always makes me so happy to know that people reread my work, especially Lost Then Found which is, unbelievably, two and a half years old now!
i'm about to start rambling sorry. it is so valid to picture Joanie as Martha tbh because there are definitely some similarities and you're right that i gave her debbie's kids and husband (though i imagine peter looking different tbf!). the person who does look, to me, most like the Joanie in my head is Amy Adams, but only in certain photos where she looks more relaxed and like, less made-up for the cameras? idk she's got the perfect hair colour and face. Joanie does have more laughter lines though and the same nose as the Captain, and as i say in the first chapter i think, she's just started going slightly grey (but only just). if i could draw i would make this happen to show you!
and again, because she exists in my noggin, i find that most of the photos that look like her have a blurry quality to them or, again, tend to be of her when she's just milling around/behind the scenes photos from film sets.
in Lost then Found, she would look most like the bottom right photo, but older with shorter hair that's got some grey in. i'm feeling like a healthy sprinkle of Catherine Tate in there wouldn't go amiss? just a hazy, blurry version of those two mixed. she has the ability to look stern to tell kids (or the Captain) off but she also has the best sense of humour and you can tell that by her face completely, like in the two top photos.
i just love her a lot. my sweet sweet joanie etc. she is real to me 💖
