Thank you!
Once upon a time, there was an author named Merinda. She was made of pure sunshine and freshly washed puppies. She loved to make friends, and bring people together. One day, she had the idea to bring all her wonderful friends together. They started to talk, and create, and encourage each other. Thus, was SHJW * born, and we are all so grateful to you. Thanks Merinda.
This made me tear up. Seriously guys. Thank you.
I’ve got a giant bucket of happy anons here and I know it’s because of those of you that know I’m having a hard time with work right now. And I appreciate it so very much, all of you. (and I’ll probably post some more out over the next little bit)
10 FICS THAT HAVE STAYED WITH MEI was tagged by the wonderful kinklock and I tag turinqs, beeslock, anigrrrl2, sherlockednc, gaybabysherlock, sherholmvs, and sherholmies (ten is a lot okay)
Rules: In a text post, list ten FICS that have stayed with you in some way. Don’t take but a few minutes, and don’t think too hard — they don’t have to be the “right” works, or even all the same pairing or fandom, just the fics that have touched you or that stuck with you somehow. Tag ten friends, including me, so I’ll see your list. Make sure you let your friends know you’ve tagged them!

How many times do I have to say that I am in love with Merinda. Ugh.. Cough.. I mean Merinda’s writing…
I second that feeling.
Oh you guys!
A little baby elephant stumbles into your askbox, holding a small letter in his mouth. He hands the note to you, “I love you. You are a wonderful, loved person.” Pass it on to the first ten people on your dash anonymously if you want to.
I read Unfriendly Fire and I want to say THANK YOU.
Thank YOU so much! I’m so glad you enjoyed it.
I just read your latest fic and I just wanted to tell you that it was brilliant! I mean so are basically all of your fics, but I really loved this one (and it was a great distraction during the tumblr crash). I also adore One Starry Night at the moment and I’ve been a fan of your work for ages. It’s so impressive that you can write so much so frequently and yet at such a high standard.
That means the world to me! Sometimes I worry that I write too much or that after so much my stuff might get repetitive. Glad to know that I’m still improving.
HI! I just wanted to tell you how much I love you icon and blog :) I was there when it happened so I have a special connection to that photo lol. I’m so glad we went and got to see his panel, it was one of the funniest things EVER. Again your blog is amazing and have a great day!
Thank you so very much!
Casual off-hand remark, saying that everytime I see your URL, I pronounce it Merin-dab instead of Merinda B. Also, I read Unthinkable and loved it. Thank you for writing that.
Oh wow, thank you! Yes, Merinda is my first name. Also for those that don’t know, I do have a book for sale.
