I’ve just had a little moment. Bear with me.

The first fic I published on AO3 was on January 11, 2013.

2013.

I’ve been doing this for over a year now.

Thank you so much for enabling me, you bunch of happy assholes. It’s with one-hundred percent honesty and joyful appreciation that I say that all of you in the DS9 Tumblr fandom have changed my life. Before meeting you, I hadn’t written since I was… mmm, twenty? And now I write a little every day.

Thank you all so much for encouraging me, and for the feedback and the impetus to be better. It’s made a difference I can’t express.
