Sorry For Being Weird And Evasive. I Was Raised To Believe That Having Wants And Needs Was A Moral Failing

Dear Mr. Black by @languagelessonswolfstar ❄️🌟

This fic got me through Christmas, New Years, and January 20. It was the most beautiful, lovely, and cozy Christmas story. It felt like a warm blanket. The bind is fully inspired by Sirius's cookbook. This is my very first time making a unconventional-sized bind and it took too much brain power to figure it out because me dummy 😭 But I'm so happy with how it turned out. This might be one of my most favorite typesets I've done to date, so this is kind of a typeset appreciate post?

Portrait of the magnificent Chef Sirius Black was done by the most talented @blackthornwine 🥹🥹

The bind is now in its new home at @moonysbookshelves who adores this story as much as I do. Thank you for all the yaps dude 🫶🏻

When the world is basically on fire right now, you can find a perfect escape in Dear Mr. Black. It can be read for free on AO3. Enjoy the meal! 🍽️

Daily reminder to leave comments on fics to make someone's day after so much hard work 🥰

Kudos are great, Reblogs are great but it can feel so quiet without the comments. Even just a few words of encouragement, appreciation and deserved gratitude can go a long way!

If you don't know what to say, you can always:

say how the work made you feel: made you laugh, cry, sad, happy. Point out which parts made you feel what

quote the parts you really enjoyed or stood out to you and say why

say where you were or what you were doing when you read it and how it affected your day (there were so many instances when a great fic completely derailed my plans and I had to sneak out somewhere to scream internally and fangirl lol)

discuss characters, plot and theories, once you get talkative it will start pouring out lol

you can even use a meme!

honestly, at least just say "thank you" and how much you enjoyed it

extremely relevant bonus point: if you like the story so much that you're gushing about it with your friends and recommending it to them, the writer would love to hear all of that gushing even more than anyone 😂

:D Peppermint Strong!

It is time.

Soon the era of pumpkin will fall and the northern winds whisper

Peppermint everything

how i want my days to look like

reblog if you have skilled writer friends and you're damn proud of them

when an author comments back, and I feel Fred from Cars

One of the coolest parts about being a fan of fanfic is you can actually contact the author. And they will respond. And then you can message them nonstop until they allow you into their lives and then you’re becoming their beta reader and suddenly you know multiple authors of all types of fiction books and fanfic authors who will drag out their deleted fics for you to read at a moments notice.

Anyway. Comment on fics and message authors. It’s absolutely worth it.

I’m sorry I haven’t responded to your message if it helps I have though about responding 37484388338 times today

It just kills me when writers create franchises where like 95% of the speaking roles are male, then get morally offended that all of the popular ships are gay. It’s like, what did they expect?
