Hello to anyone at all still paying attention to this page. I was only recently reminded of the stories and tiny community I had built here during the pandemic, and wanted to send one last message. I will probably delete this account, but I as I read through old messages and comments, I knew I couldn't leave without a word.
You cannot imagine my surprise, when logging in for the first time in four years, to have received two requests just this month to make art based on one of my stories. I very nearly cried. The appreciation for the clumsy work of a random middle-school nerd is incredibly heartwarming.
So...thank you. To each and every person who ever read or commented on what is, quite frankly, horrible writing, I thank you. You made a shy, insecure, anxious kid feel just a teeny bit famous. I can remember how difficult it was for me to work up the courage to share my writing, and you all welcomed me with open arms. Thank you for indulging in my little corner of the internet, it was a real pleasure.
Wishing you all the very best,

P.S. Maybe I won't delete this page. Eisenhower once said,"Don't join the book burners. Don't think you're going to conceal faults by concealing evidence that they ever existed." I may be embarrassed now of this writing, but perhaps I owe it to my younger self to keep her work alive.
