After seeing you on tumblr for years I just figured out you wrote ABoT and I feel. So stupid for not connecting the pseudonym phantomrose96 to tumblr user phantomrose96 I feel like that is maybe something I should've been able to do before today, but also wow, that fic is an incredible work of art and even though I admire your creativity in general that one is important yo me, thank you so much for putting so much time and effort into it. You probably get fan mail all the time for it so if this is annoying I apologize I'm just bursting with awe and gratefulness

Ahjsjd, thank you!! And I think this is perfectly reasonable. “phantomrose writer of the ~400k word psychological horror fanfiction” and “phantomrose who posts stupid shit on tumblr” are maybe not obviously the same person at first glance. If you met Stephen King but he was in his underwear at 3am standing in front of his fridge you’d maybe not make the connection right away. Not calling myself Stephen King but I am identifying with the 3am underwear bit

Anyway!! Not annoying at all!! I love love receiving messages like this. (Despite the hiatus for personal life reasons) I have so much love for ABoT and all the effort I’ve put into it so it’s so very rewarding to hear other people loving it too. Thank you!!
