Hi, sorry if this is out of turn or rude, but there’s a fic I read many many moons ago that has stuck with me as a victim of incest; I hope this isn’t triggering. (for me, it’s not…soothing necessarily but it made life feel better after reading it. Like if the poison was sucked out of me for a bit) I hope this brings you and the other anon the same comfort it gave to me

Not at all rude or out of turn. I actually really love this fic and have read it multiple times, I've even talked about in the past how helpful it's been to me and how cathartic it is for me to read every time, but how frustrated I am that a large group of people who claim to speak for victims would dismiss this fic as inherently harmful to victims bc of its content and think it shouldn't be allowed to exist even tho victims like you and me find it helpful.

I actually LOVE IT when fanfics get political with their omegaverse. I’m constantly searching for chansung/jilix/minsung/binsung fics that dive more into these topics. I’m glad I found your chansung fic, it’s a gem fs!!
I'm so glad! And now I have two political omegaverse fics! Tho the chansung is much more explicitly about gender and queerness than the minsung, but hey at least I'm having fun with political world building and commentary. I'm glad you found my chansung too and I hope you continue to enjoy it!

Quick question: (where I'm totally not asking you to be eli-google)
Octopi and seeing colours. Is chromatic aberration as an explanation still a thing? Can I believe the citation from 2016 or has since then emerged a way better explanation?
Eli google is very slow but hey at least it doesn't use AI. I checked the citations of the 2016 paper and it's still being cited to this day. So based on a 2023 paper, this is one of many explanations. They're still not even sure they can see colors as their behavior suggests they can't as well as their one photopigment, but their camouflage suggests they can. The other explanations (all presented as equally accepted and likely) are reflective iridophores and photopigments + light provoked responses on their skin. They said their vision and the neuroscience around it is really under researched and I think the bigger thing to prove is that they see color at all which is why you're not finding much on how they see color.

hi eli i saw your post or reply idk i forgot that said your vamp seungyang fic is no ones favorite and it broke my foxpuppy heart why would you say that about her... shes MY favorite. i havent read the others in the series but ive read your other fics so i have an informed opinion!!!!!!!
i'm sorry for the sudden mood switch, i had to put something else first or i'd be too scared to say this next partshsjwkdjfj, trigger warning for real life incest, please do not feel pressured to answer or read this and i'm very very sorry if this isn't appropriate to say. but thank you for talking about your experiences in an incestuous sibling relationship, i recently left home and consequently left my brother and i feel a lot of discomfort when you talk poorly about sibling relationships, and i think it's important for me to sit in that discomfort and feel it deeply instead of not challenging it. i don't hear much of how bad sibling relationships are, since people in my life don't know how bad it got.. (yet! working on it) so thank you. i don't want to just be fine with fucking my brother anymore. i'm very anxious that this isn't okay to say, i just think there isn't nearly enough gratitude expressed these days and i'm very unsocialized hajdjdhshd. i'm really very sorry if this is out of line. all the love to you and your sibling, i hope me and my brother can heal and have a normal relationship like you. and thank you again for talking about what you went through.
Hi anon, sorry it's taken me so long to answer this, you didn't make me uncomfortable at all and I'm honestly really flattered you felt safe sharing this with me and sending this message. I took a while to answer bc I felt really honored by your trust and I wanted to give you the time and energy you deserve. Part of the reason I talk about my own experiences is to reach out to other people who have gone through similar things, so it's never wrong to talk to me about this. I understand if you want to remain anonymous but feel free to message again or dm if that's more comfortable.
I'm so glad you like the vampire seungyang so much, it's what it deserves and honestly it makes me really happy to hear that it's the only one in the series you've read. The series is built so people can enjoy them as stand alone stories so it's really validating to hear someone enjoyed it that way.
I'm really glad to know my talking about my experience was helpful to you. One of the hardest things for me was accepting that what happened was harmful. I identified it as incest for years but it took me a long time to accept it was abusive even after I had accepted that other parts of our relationship had been physical and emotional and verbal abuse. Somehow sexual abuse is much harder to accept, at least it was for me. I'm happy you're working through things and you've decided to set boundaries in your relationship. I promise your relationship can become so much better and enjoyable when you're not interacting in that way. I hope you're able to heal and find a normal relationship! And again, thank you for trusting me with this.

What do I need to do to get part two of the mating run fic asap? I will do anything.
(Unless you haven’t written it! Then ignore this and take your time. I am rlly excited for the second chapter though)
Um leave me a comment or send me a message telling me something you liked about it? That's about it, but even little bits of feedback are super motivational to keep writing. I'm about 1/3-1/2 of the way done and it's a lot to maintain my current pace but knowing what people like about what I've done so far is helpful. But obviously I'm not like going to hold it hostage if people don't do that. I want to get it done for my own reasons too. Just if you wanted to feel like you were contributing, besides writing it for me, that's the only thing you could do.

Your fics made me get into chanlix. I usually only read minsung but your vampire chanlix fic made me obsessed with them ! Thank you for writing them 🫠
That is so unbelievably sweet! Really, it means so much to me that you were willing to try something that I wrote even tho it was outside of what you usually read and then that you liked my writing enough to fall in love with that ship or understand part of what I love about it and keep reading that ship. Thank you so much for telling me this, you've really made my day, it might seem like a small thing but it's very motivating to keep writing. And that chanlix vampire fic was my first ever skz and smut fic so if that fic hadn't gone so well, there would be no skz fics of mine for anyone to read.

Is there a reason why you don't write hyunjin ships?

Are you still actively writing The Subtle Knot or has inspiration flown away for that one? It’s one of the most unique and compelling fanfictions I’ve ever read, so I would love to read more of it, but I can also totally understand why it would be so difficult to resolve
Hi thanks for checking in and being so understanding. The subtle knot is actually the fic I have planned the most and done the most work on where it's going so I have a very clear idea of what it'll look like and I still like it and writing it a lot so currently I have no plans of abandoning it. I just have a lot of plates in the air and in my mind it was updated recently (in no one else's mind is three months ago recently but compared to some of my fics it is so it hasn't been its turn yet and I haven't been writing as much in the last two months). I have been working on the next chapter and hope to have it out soon. Thanks for reaching out, your message really made my day and I'm glad you like it so much!
