Lauren, early 40’s. Gay AF. Hockey goalie mom!! Twitch: MelusineN7. Passionate Mental Health Advocate, especially for vulnerable and LGBTQIA+. Survivor (;💚) Obsessed with Horizon, but also love Doctor Who, Mass Effect, LOTR, Star Wars, and many others.. Seyloy, Timepetals, Shiara- I will go down with these ships. Sometimes I write things. Too old for bullshit fandom drama and too young to want to give up on a world that seeks to twist us into unforgiving, unyielding cold machines. Love one another. Forgive.
I hope you're doing well. I just wanted to stop by and say that I reread your fic, When the Chaos Calls Me Out recently, and I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed it and loved it.
I think you did such a wonderful job with the ship, and thirteenrose is such a comfort thing for me, it makes me so happy to see them portrayed so beautifully. I was undergoing a sexual orientation realization when I came across the ship, and by extension, this fic, and the way you handled them so gently was lovely. I think your fic and the ship itself were some of the many things that helped me come to terms with being a lesbian.
Honestly, I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to write out a passion project like that, and tell you how much I enjoyed it!! I've reread it at least three times since October :)
Have such a lovely morning/day/evening/night ❤️❤️❤️
If you had ANY idea what this comment means to me. I had just come out directly before I started writing Chaos, (conveniently the first week of lockdown in 2020--yuk). WRITING it helped me realize exactly how gay I am and I finally came out at age 40. I am still married to a man because we get along really well and we're close friends, and we have a son together, but we have been platonic for coming up on 5 years. I could never figure out why I couldn't feel much of anything for men.
I am so touched that my fic helped you realize this, but as I learned, we shouldn't have to come to terms with anything. We are the way we are. Most people accepted me without question and said "Oh yeah I already knew, so what are you doing this weekend?" LOL
Trust me, you will feel SO much better in a year or two and when you experience real love for the first time, every second of pain will be worth it.
Love who you are. Nobody needs to accept you, you aren't a choice to either take or leave. If they feel that you are, they don't belong in your life. If they treat this as a "lifestyle" ask them if their wedding was part of a lifestyle. Or if all the families on TV are a lifestyle. Or if William and Kate or whoever are a lifestyle. I would like to send you something, I don't know if you have ever heart about compulsory heterosexuality. When I saw it for the first time it was like being slapped in the face.
THANK YOU for telling me this. You made my month, honestly. Things have been shitty lately and this made me so happy. And I don't know you but I'm proud of you!!! And thank you about the wonderful things you said about that fic, I am still pretty proud of it.
A year ago today I came up with a small idea that mutated into the monster called “The Space Between the Stars.”
It was originally going to be three chapters 🤣🤣🤣
I hope to continue writing it again soon. Life has sucked the past few months. First I lost someone important to me (who hopefully isn’t really gone,) and then I lost the job I loved 2 months before it was to end anyway over something I really, truly could win a lawsuit over but my anxiety can’t take it.
I’m still full of grief but it gets better every day so hopefully our favorite gay dorks will reappear in my head (along with Beta to kick their asses) soon.
Thank you all for giving that story so much love over the past year, it has been one of the highlights of 23-24❤️❤️
Thank you, love!!! Maybe my brain will finally release the stress and grief and let me write again soon, and finally get that next chapter out.
You have been a wonderful addition to my life and to our little community ❤️❤️
On seyloy anniversary day, I wanted to say thank you to all the lovely people who write fanfics for these two. I have had the privilege of meeting many of you thanks to the wonderful @melusine0811 and you are all so talented and wonderful I just can’t tell you how much I enjoy your kindness and talent!!!
As a disabled human, sometimes I’m not able to do the things I want to…and reading fanfic has long been a favorite distraction of mine.
To all of you who write…you’re amazing and I want you to know how much sharing your gift and creativity means to those of us who read it!!!
No more apologizing for being horny on main. No more horny jail. We’re horny prison abolitionists. No gods, no masters! Wait. Okay maybe a few masters. Alright but no bars will hold us! No whips and chains will — fuck, hang on, let me start again.
