    I loved reading this and all you had to say about it ^.^ No apology for rambling necessary.

    You are so incredibly right about all fiction having value. And in my experience, everything you've said has been so extremely true. As a person, I've grown so much through writing fanfics. Studying characters has given me so much more empathy and understanding of others, while studying my own writing has given me a better understanding of myself. I think one of the things that helped me get more from my own writing was asking myself the why behind the events of a story and going deeper into the character's reasoning.

    My ma did encourage me to read good literature, but that's not all there is in the world. I enjoyed 1600-1800s literature like Jane Austen, Emily Bronte, Edgar Allen Poe, Khalil Gibran, Shakespeare, and more recently, H.P. Lovecraft. Reading those things did help me grow and become the writer I am today, but so did fanfiction. I never thought of the IPs you mentioned as fanficition before, but you are not wrong!

    You're welcome to your soapbox in my comments anytime, my friend! I enjoy reading your thoughts. Especially now as we move into the more serious angst >:)

    I'm so glad you're enjoying the story still ^^ I can't wait to hear from you again, as you are always a delight! ♡♡♡
