Big-Assed Thank You to Femme!
This is a great big thank you to Femme because I'm a great big fan of hers. (Femme, suppose you sat down to a cup of coffee with the band-man of your choice and discussed how you both handle fame and fans? What would be the same? What would be different? Heh.) Anyway, this is a great big thank you for enduring with amazing grace all the shit that's been heaped upon your shoulders recently.
When I began reading HP fanfic, your name was one of the ones I quickly came to rely on for quality story-telling. I read a sea of H/D and an ocean of HP/SS all the while thinking, jee.... what about SS and DM? And who brought the pairing to life in the best ways possible, one great story after another whether set in the wilds of Cornwall, the cold of the Russian Revolution, the pages of a diary or a post-DH world? You, wonderful you, that's who.
I love your Draco - every last one of 'em. I love your Snapes, your Harrys and your Eileens. There is always something surprising and something tender about them. (French-speaking Harry? Dead sexy, hun.)
You've made the land of HP fanfiction a brighter one, not just for your tiring, formerly thankless work on Pornish Pixies, but through your fiction as well. Thank you for all you do and all you create. I am so in awe of you.
