Tbh I think people ask you too much sometimes. (Another anon) like I understand the concern over a dear fic that might not be finished, but I think it's necessary to give the writer the absolute time as much as they need. Another thing: I am a BIG fan of all of your works, and shamelessly, I am actually more obsessed with Nights at the museum than with FE, which is crazy because you posted like– 10 sentences of it? But I understand that you might decide not to work on it at all. I think you already have gave this fandom a lot, and it's not fair to stay away from your other hobbies for it. Writing fanfic is supposed to be fun, it's not a career. I think you deserve as much as rest as you need. And hey! I'm just a teenager who's recently dealing with college, you are a grown woman with a husband and a son. I can't imagine how difficult it must be to find time to write fanfics when you have real life struggles, especially because you truly make sure that every chapter is perfection, you put your heart into this, it's clear. I think people need to understand that there's a real person behind that username, not a robot.
Thank you, this was... needed, and so nice to find in my inbox.
It's just wild how much things have changed since I started posting FE? I was fresh out of school and my now-husband-then-boyfriend and I were long-distance and my job was the sort that gave me lots of mental energy for writing in the evenings. I just didn't have the commitments. Even after I got married, my husband worked crazy long shifts and I had a lot of time by myself to kill, and I was teaching so I had a lot of time during summer hiatus and during winter breaks just to write. A completely different world from the 24/7 responsibility of raising a human being.
Anyway, since you were so lovely, here is another snippet from Nights at the Museum:
Like clockwork, one of the dispersing museum-goers jostles into her and knocks her off her feet. Klaus catches her.
The girl drops her bag and clutches her side, sucking in huge, deep breaths from between clenched teeth.
“Are you alright?” he asks, pushing as much concern into his voice as he possibly can.
She looks up at him. Recognition flickers in her eyes for just a moment, there and then gone.
“Thanks for catching me,” she says. She tries to pick her bag up but drops it again and relatches her hands into the same place.
“Let me get that for you.” He swings her bag up over his shoulder and puts a proprietary hand on her shoulder. “You look like you need to sit down, sweetheart. Here.” He clears a path for her to the nearest bench and sets her down next to him.
She smiles for him, and that smile lights up the shadows in her young face. “Thank you. I don’t know what I would have done without some help back there.”
“Are you quite alright? You don’t need to go to hospital, do you?” He says it lightly, like he’s joking, but in actuality, he’s curious as to what she will say.
“Already been in the hospital. Don’t think they can do much more for me.”
What he wants in that instant is to ask her what for, but that information will have to come in time.
The girl takes a few more deep, steadying breaths. Then, she stands, and takes her bag back from him. “Thank you,” she tells him again, and waves goodbye to him before stepping out into the night.
Klaus watches her go, still feeling light-headed from the turn this night has taken.
When he has had a moment to collect himself, he pulls her wallet out from his pocket and studies the plastic driver’s license therein.
Elena Gilbert.

i think my favorite thing about tumblr is its vague appreciation of the night at the museum movies
ive never seen anyone on my dash say theyre bad or heard anything negative, i either see the gay little cowboy and his roman boyfriend or i see people talking about how the security guard would be great in five nights at freddys
never overwhelming praise or hatred, just a perfect balance of appreciation as if everyone has seen them and just thinks theyre neat

All pairings were submitted! Here are some submitter notes:
Red/Blue (Time War):
oh the whole book is about how gay they are. it's about letters they write to each other fighting on opposite sides of a war to control the stream of time and every timeline and iirc by the end they fight against both sides of the war to carve out a space for themselves
Jedtavius:
the actors played them as if they were a married couple. and jed quoted brokeback mountain
