Do you have a ko-fi or anything similar? I've adored your work for months now and would LOVE to show my appreciation.
I'm the other half of That One Couple That Reads Your Fics that has commented on things in the past and truly just can't thank you enough for writing such beautiful work that hits so many notes that are so rarely seen. Specifically, thank you for the Karlach/Shadowheart series, as a trans gal who has had hormones hit me pretty hard in various ways, seeing a character like Shadowheart and her particular body behavior is extremely important go me and something I never see. You're doing great work, and you've got two lesbian readers who will read just about anything you do. (Minthara/Orin is a little too Oops all toxic fucked up misery for me, my partner loves it though!)
Heya anon! It's a pleasure to hear from the other half!!! I hope you two have been doing well since your partner's message, and that your journey on hormones has been a freeing one 💜
I just wanna say your words really touched me. I always get a lump in my throat when other trans women enjoy what I write. It's very special to me for obvious reasons.
I'm so happy that you found this in my lil stories and that you find them beautiful for this. Fanfiction desperately needs more stories of us in all forms, in all the ways our bodies as trans women can be different. That comes out in the ways that I write these characters. I couldn't be happier you feel this way. Fiction doesn't always have to be validating, but it's a unique feeling when it is.
Especially when it's a character like Shadowheart that I write specifically to be very different from myself when I do write her as trans. Despite that, it's almost euphoric when I see you and others feel themselves in her. Or really any of the characters.
(And don't worry about the Orinthara haha. I know not everything I write is for everyone, but I'm glad your partner enjoys them lol)
As for ko-fi or similar, (EDIT) see this response. But you can show your appreciation by reading, sharing wonderful messages like this with me, and saying hi every once in a while 💜
