i recently hunted down a fic writer to ask if they had a copy of their fic i read about 13/14 years ago or smth bc the livejournal pages didnβt work anymore and i loved the fic so much & wanted to reread. they replied and uploaded it to ao3 JUSTTT me for :) best day of my life
my contribution to the fic writer discussion is that i wish there was more love for fic long after its initially posted. im always so grateful when i post a fic and it gets immediate attention but after that first week it feels like it just kind of disappears into the ether
