Hey you guys...
So, a few years ago I wrote a Skins fic called Coin Laundry. And then after it was completed, I deleted it, cos my kinda creepy ex found it and used it to stalk me with. Awkward...
I used to give out copies of it to anyone who asked, but I lost track of it all and today I checked that account for the first time in about a year and it turns out that all this time I've been getting weekly requests for it. You guys...thank you so much for your interest and I'm so sorry I didn't get back to you and if you're still looking for it, here it is.
It's from a long time ago now, and some of the story makes me cringe like woah now, in that way that old writing does, but mostly, I just have great memories of YOU GUYS, the other Skins readers. You were a wonderful bunch of human beings and the interactions we had around this fic meant (and still mean) the world to me. Between the amazing emails I got and the incredible friends I made and the well over a thousand reviews where you wrote me essays back about your lives and we raged at each other about love and denial and sex and...paint...it was a special thing in my life there. I'll treasure that always.
So if you're one of the people who emailed me for a copy - here it is and sorry for the delay, or if you're a newer Skins fan and you want to read it, be my guest. I hope bringing it back spurs some happiness somewhere like it did for me.
