AL-FUCKING-WAYS

I sometimes get messages about my fics and see other authors get messages like “oh my god im sorry to bother you but-” or apologizing profusely for sending multiple asks.

I promise you guys. Absolutely 0 writers are bothered by you talking to them about their fics. If you want to know a detail or are confused about something they are almost definitely sitting ready with an answer that they are excited to talk about.

Don’t feel like you HAVE to message writers (tho if you liked a fic a lot leaving comments is great encouragement) but never apologize for asking about fics or talking about them!

Or, the Queeshmael/Moana crossover fic that I definitely wanted.

Summary:

Maui was flooded with relief when he saw the man paddling, or rather trying and failing to paddle.

(A thousand-year-old friendship brings a demigod out to save a harpooneer, and one less canonical death results.)

Or, Queequeg is a descendant of Moana a thousand years down the line, and Maui keeps his promises.
