#ThankfulTuesday -- fan gratitude

Where to even begin? I'll start in chronological order, I guess... might get a little rusty as we move on though.

madairifa You were the first person who responded to my timid little call to Wattpad and took a look at The Journey. I was in transports after your lovely message to my feed afterwards!

it's very heady the first time someone gushes over your writing, especially when they get stunned over your age too

*whistles* pretty sure my days for the latter are over

-The-Architect You were probably number two. Back when I knew nobody on here except for my cousin clato_maroondiamonds, I would browse through the people she was following, and once in awhile I found somebody to tentatively contact. I read your book, sent you my polite little message, followed you, and went upstairs to wash the dishes. Came back down and freaked out because I had NOTIFICATIONS!! You read my book back, and without any prompting from me! Thanks for your undying support, and tag wars. XD

tag— oh

accidental_roses Your comments on When I Was Rather Young never fail to make my day. And if you hadn't read The Journey one December day, someone else might never have come across me...

*cue ominous brass sequence*

LuckyPlum I don't remember how many notifications I had when I got on Wattpad that afternoon. 15? 20? Anyway, I went crazy. What? What? What? my brain said.

This person is reading The Journey. Whoa... who is she? She's left ALL THESE COMMENTS! She FOLLOWED ME???!?!

ayyyy those were the days

So that's my side of our first interaction together, the beginning of my staunch supporter whose encouragement never fails to amaze me.

Dante_Greywolf You're that incredible one who comment-spams me into ecstasy. Your involvement in each and every story is fantastic to see.

Fr especially given my sporadic posting schedule yikes

no_kidding It's not an understatement to say I kind of freaked out when you added A Cold Cry to your reading list... I mean YOU'VE BEEN #1 IN FANTASY! You're famous! And yet, you manage to make time for little peeps like me. Thanks for your thoughtfulness and humility.

*lowkey cringe at the gushy attitude BUT Noa is the absolute best dang it and a piano buddyyyyyyy*

mossfire946 5 inboxes? My brain queried dubiously upon seeing my notifications. Imagine my exhilaration when I discovered what Mossy had been up to! I kid you not, I reread those amazing messages five or six times.

those were the daYYSSSSS

Mishi_And_Books You're one of those people who manages to turn a paragraph that was insignificant to me and gush over it till I'm blushing to the ears. I'm daily thankful for your sweet interaction!

thanks to the nixing of the newsfeed I don't think I've come across Mishi for a very long time

Ellowyne Stars_Alight

You two are people I really look up to. The fact that you have taken time out of your lives to read my stories is the world to me. Stars, there's no way I can ever thank you enough for reading those three chapters of The Journey, and all the helpful criticism you gave with it. And Ellowyne, I'm in bliss whenever you read more of A Cold Cry.

acceptably gushy, not as cringe as Noa's. my lovely frens have resurfaced from the sibling chapter

Illeandir Goodness gracious, I'm starting to think I have an insane number of these fans. Anyway, Illeandir, you are fabulous and sometimes I look at my "Journey" drafts just to reread your comments on them. (Remember the stuffed kitty on Edgar Wiguel's desk?)

you will have an insane number of fans and you will LIKE it

and yes she is fabulous

GadSul I dunno what to say, but you are just a fantastic buddy and I was tickled when you read Flare in the Darkness! Your comments are great. XD

all other comment award contestants go home right now (honorable mention to Vanna, Melissa, and Illeandir)

pastelpumpkin To you belongs the award of one who finished reading The Journey!!! *slow clapping* And yet, your devotion did not end there. I was shocked with how much you loved A Cold Cry. Thanks for your loyal reads and comments!

is Hannah's account still up...??

SunnyTreasures LivreanTinuviel GadSul mirkwoodminstrel Silvan_Elleth jetharp24

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep you guys read my first ever LotR fanfiction, and left me the most amazing feedback and encouragement! Thanks so much!

Bruh I don't remember who 1/3 of these people are

There's other people... and yet I don't have time to list you all in detail. butterfly_effect killertomatoes dewdrops_kl annibellovely Rubyx1 Riverdale020892 Anne-Girl Lyssagirl7686 and probably EVEN MORE that I can't remember. I'm grateful to every one of you.

I'm scratching my head over killertomatoes — oh wait yes that's right she read ACC

(Oh and I suppose peace_rose is a fan. Not that I'd bother to list her. XD Love you, sister.)

love to threaten pouring my ice water over your head in a work meeting :3

I'll swear there are more but honestly I had a big day and I have work tomorrow and I rly need to figuratively die *face splits in yawn* if I stay any longer I'll think of more because I did that twice now and just assume everyone's covered under the blanket of my love
