So, this is probably going to be kind of long.
This is my first comment on the DD boards. Maybe my last, I don’t know.
I’ve been lurking here for years now, maybe close to a decade. A couple of years ago I discovered Little Luzy while it was still in-process and fell in love with y’all’s writing, S&P.
I’ve been through an awful lot in life, and it’s always stories that keep me going. When I discovered Luzy, I was really sick, for a really long time. I’m not ashamed to say that I used to keep a tab open on my phone and check for updates four or five times a day. Whenever I found something I’d immediately text my partner at the time and we’d read it together.
And then I got better. Life went through a massive upheaval. I thought I found a way out of this side of me that I don’t know if I’ll ever manage be unashamed of. Tonight I came back to it though, just to check for more of your writing and found this story, and I don’t know why this is the one that finally made me have to make an account, but I just had to.
I just want to say thank you. I think sometimes it’s impossible for us to know the kinds of effect we have on others when we put ourselves and our writing out into the world.
Anyway this has been long and sappy. Just tonight reading your story helped me feel a little better. I love your work, and I’m grateful you keep on making it.
