Such a fun date! Bucky was just amazing! As with

Steve already, I would not have had any control over myself 😅 I find it impossible to choose and am so fucking excited for what’s gonna happen now after the first dates! Although I guess the messy part is not too far away anymore 😛

You’re right about that, the messy parts are coming soon.

Hey, can you please add me to the Close the Loop taglist? Or just your general taglist if you have one? I’ve only read the four chapters of Close the Loop, but I’m obsessed. And if that’s any indication of how good of a writer you are, then I’m sure I’m gonna love the rest of your work. Just…. good job 🙌🙌🙌

Thank you so much! 

I’ll add you to my forever tags. If Stucky and the occasional real person fic aren’t your thing, let me know. I have exception lists for those.

Everything tags?

Exactly why I Beta for free even though I have an editing business! Thank you for voicing this!!

I’ll admit that it’s been weighing heavily on me as of late. It’s always bothered me, asking for money for something that does not belong to you – intellectual property – and it’s hard for me to understand why people just don’t care. Especially when they’re ‘confronted’ about it. 

*Gets of my soapbox.* 

Hi there. I’ve seen a lot of posts about authors and artists taking commissions, posting on patreon, and now, offering their beta services; all for money. What is your opinion on that?

This might be an unpopular opinion and I might upset some people, but here goes.

Straight up, I don’t like it. 

While writing and publishing fanfiction is one thing, asking for, and accepting, money for it is wrong. It. Is. Illegal. The characters, and the world they belong in, do not belong to the fanfiction authors. They belong to their creator, not us. This goes for edits, banners, avatars, etc. 

Now… asking for money to beta. No. No. No. You’re not a professional editor, and what you’re reading, offering your advice on, it is illegal. Once again, the characters the fanfiction authors are writing about does not belong to them. So, by accepting payment, you are performing an illegal act. 

Earning money off of intellectual property that does not belong to you is wrong.
