This is so cool I have to go to the bathroom!
I've been shaking and sighing for over an hour now, and I still haven't quite come down from the high. This is seriously up there in personal accomplishments - okay, let me explain, that tonight I found this post espousing their love for Put On Your Face, with great and deep praise that had me grinning like a loon, and here, and let me quote:
(This story and waffleguppies’ Blue Sky are what made me finally try writing fanfiction, actually, and I feel like Sparkler owes everything to those two stories)
Guys. Guys. YOU GUYS. YOU GOTTA GET THIS. Making people want to make stuff is one of my biggest goals in life as a creative-type person! And here I've learned I've done exactly that!
I know - very realistically - what I have to do next is get someone else to want to make something. To keep going, to not look back, to never flinch. And I know for tonight, that for tonight at least, I'm going to hold onto this bright, sharp joy as fiercely as I'm able. That something I wrote in turn made someone make something.
YEEHA!
(And not even Livejournal crossposting troubles can harsh my buzz. That's how good it feels.)
