I'm about 97% sure you don't know me, but... cameron_mckell August 3 2012, 01:12:47 UTC
I wanted to say a few things, if you don't mind. I've only recently gotten (neck-deep) into Tron fanfiction, and I can safely say that the biggest reason behind this, is because of the second story I read in the genre, your "We Are Pilots" (incidentally, the first story I read was "I Owe You A Love Song" because apparently I'm a sucker for a Princess Bride AU; it didn't hit me quite as hard as Pilots did, probably because at the time I was - three years? - out of date on my knowledge about the fandom, and I'm still struggling to catch up now).

Generally speaking, when reading a story I end up scrolling past anything particularly... explicit is the word I'll use, because my attention generally focuses on the people themselves, the why and how of their love for each other, and the interactions of their personalities; I suppose it's my quirk, but only in general.

In a specific way, I will happily admit to enjoying (and at times re-reading) your porn (deep-seated conditioning on not using 'dirty' language is fighting me on keeping that word there, I apologize if I 'sound' funny), in particular the in-Grid moments. I've been reading fanfiction - in many genres - for well over a decade, and this was the first time an intimate scene felt so... comfortable (I can't think of a better word to describe it at the moment).

I'm not very good with words (I'm pretty sure I'm convoluting my own meaning, but I'm hoping it's coming across as it is intended), so I'm going to wrap up my typographical diarrhea, and get to the point already. I'm sorry that you're upset, and I hope it doesn't persist. I really admire and enjoy your work, whatever it is - words, pictures, subliminal messaging (kidding, maybe), and the lot. I hope that you always feel satisfied with your work (one, in my opinion, should never have to feel compromised about something done recreationally).

On a lighter, and mostly unrelated topic, I'm pretty sure a certain program and user have taken up lodging in my brain, and I have you to thank for it in a large part. You inspired me to start writing again after seven (I think; I'm terrible with time, and all efforts to comprehend it) years; I'm terrible at it - probably always will be - but it's an outlet that I hadn't realized I'd been sorely needing.

I'm sorry for being mushy everywhere, but I literally don't think I can thank you enough, and I hope that all of this blabbering, at the least, might be beneficial to you in some way.
