Challenge #10

Talk About A Creator/Someone Who Inspired You. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so

Usually these challenges have been fairly easy, but this one is a little more tricky and it’s taken awhile to decide what to do for it. Even as I write this I’m not sure what I’m gonna say.

So who inspires me? The general answer has, always, been my friends over the years. I wouldn’t have continued to write over the years without their inspiration and encouragement through comments. I’m not so going to list all the ones over the years, as it would be a pointless endeavour (and so many have just... vanished that they’d never see).

In 2018 I was at a bit of a loss, due to various reasons (which I won’t go into) I’d stopped writing altogether for months. Towards the end of the year though, I started making connections here and on twitter, which inspired me to write again. Users like

turps

wenchpixie

sperrywink and

turlough have all been so sweet and kind, which has meant so much to me. Also there’s people on Twitter like Vin and my loves Milo and Heather, as well as the people from discord, everyone from the Kliego one, as well as Cody and the others from the MCR discord. Without these people I’d still be lost and adrift, not writing anymore and shut away. I’m so grateful for these people and their comments and friendship.

🖤💜🖤

Also anyone that does fic and art deemed ‘problematic’ and do it anyway despite hateful comments, threats and call outs are awesome. Keep doing what you love.

I’m gonna spent the rest of the day snuggled with the tv on, hoping to finish fic and watching Doctor Who later.
