A wee reassurance.

[neurawkward]

I know it's been forever, and I am fully aware of the extent to which I suck, but I just wanted to let you all know (for those who may have given up hope) that I have absolutely no intentions of abandoning SOAS.

I've been on what can only be construed as a particularly brutal Erik/Charles bender - and, as I have been an X-men nerd all my life, it'

You have to continue Symmetry of a Sort. I know you will, and I trust you because I would trust anyone who wrote that story but this was just a friendly reminder. I do not wish to die before finishing it. Not that I plan to anytime soon but shit happens.

So I have basically resorted to flattery and compassion. How would you feel about bribery?

There's no need to resort to bribery (though I'm absolutely okay with flattery and compassion

Ah! I'm so sorry - I never saw this comment or I would have replied forever ago!

Thank you so so much, and know that I'm now actively trying to quit being a dick and get going again. Re-reading now so I can get started. :)

I can totally get why you'd be self conscious, but really, it's a great fic. I hope you continue it for many more chapters, and if you'd like, I can post encouragements on every one of them, because I'd hate for you to get discouraged. You're an amazing writer, I've found myself taken aback a few times by how amazing it is. So please, keep writing your fics!

[neurawkward]

Thank you so much! :)

I'm not gonna lie and say I haven't thought about just giving up and deleting the whole thing, but I know I never could. I'm re-reading now, and working on getting over myself and just doing it. :/ I'm prooobably gonna try to just power through the rest of it unbeta'd, but at least it'll get done?

Sigh. Thank you again though!!! :)

Please continue SOAS, it's my new crack, I just stayed up all night reading it. I think it's the most amazing thing I've ever read, and I need more, like I need chocolate ice cream after I finish a good fic (which btw, I started bawling when Gabriel had kids and Sam had old puppy eyes).

I know the whole self conscious thing, and I hope you can work through it and give us more of your beautiful writing!

Oh my gosh. I feel like I'm coming into this kinda late, but I only just finished everything that posted, and I love it so much. I totally understand the whole self conscious thing too, but you've already done better than me by actually *posting* the stuff you write.

I am so in love with your writing, and the story, and I can't wait for you to finish it, but you also shouldn't feel the crippling need to post things that you aren't at least mostly comfortable with posting just because people are demanding it. Take your time, and we'll all be here still if you decide to post it, because this story is way too beautiful to give up on. :)

Just wanted to say that I still think about your writing from time to time.
