Thanks for reading Gone With the Light! · 12:57am Dec 18th, 2021

It took Familial Words, my previous most-liked story, over two years to get to 70 likes, and half of those only came about because I wrote a sequel.

Gone With the Light surpassed that mark in two days. Two. Days.

Thank you all so, so much for reading my sappy little story. I'm completely and uttered floored by the reception it's received, a reception that has long since exceeded all of my initial expectations. An especial thanks goes to The Red Parade and Rego: without their encouragement and input, I think there's a pretty high chance this story doesn't come out anywhere near as quickly or as good as it did. Please consider checking both of them out; they deserve it and then some.

Admittedly, I'm still not sure how I'm going to follow this up. I'm probably going to set some time tomorrow aside to reply to all of the comments (and feel free to leave one if you haven't already), but from there, I don't really know what I'm going to write next. I have plenty of other old ideas I could resurrect, and I began outlining a few new ones while waiting for Red and Rego to finish looking over Light, but I still need to decide which of them I'm going to focus on for now.

Whatever I wind up doing, here's hoping it doesn't take me another two years to do it!
:P

I didn't mean to tie this blog post into No Way Home, but I'll gladly go along with the coincidence. No spoilers!

Take care, and have a great weekend!

Glad to see that your one-shot did so well. Glad I could be a part of it.
