leyton selvish i quite like your writing style! i think it’s very matter of fact in voice and very immersive in the brain of whatever character pov you’re writing. you convey inner turmoil very well and i disagree with the grey concrete because that implies that it’s sort of flat and i think that there are infinite layers in all your writing, especially your recent big things you’ve written. i also KNOW that there are layers because you’ve talked about easter eggs and hidden personal meanings of little bits in some of your fics, and i think that even further proves that your writing is very good and meaningful. i think you have a very unique voice and it’s a style that i find admirable! keep up good work 👍👍
one more note from 👍👍 anon: i also think that the way you word things is simplistic in comparison to a lot of flowery prose-y language, but it reads like an actual human person would think and feel. it’s deeply relatable and i think that makes it more striking than a lot of other styles
it mskes me sad that you doubt yourself so much because you legit are my favorite writer and i am incredibly inspired by you and specifically your style and characterization and the overall feeling you bring to your writing
you made me want to write again and i love your work sm
sorry if this is a lot!! but i need you to know that you’re appreciated ! have a good night :)
There is no way to adequately describe how wonderful you are, and how your acc and brainrots have helped so many people escape from the rest of our horrid tls. Literally, you’re already one of my favourite authors because your works are always beautifully written with delicious plots and ideas, but now watching you go out of your way for /us/ to spread positivity (and horny thoughts)- there is no way to word it other than thank you. Thank you so much.
I hope you are given all the wonderful things you deserve one day. Mwah.
I appreciate you so much for posting these and letting people share their ideas here. You said you get the attention for it but it feels like you're opening up your audience for other people to present their ideas and it's really wonderful. I've only recently starting sending stuff in and between reading other people's ideas and becoming brave enough to submit my own, I've literally been able to overcome my writer's block. I'm more passionate, confident, and excited about writing than I have been in months. I've surpassed my personal record with how much I've written recently. Seeing that people like my ideas has boosted my confidence and I'm way less scared to properly share my work one day. Basically you're wonderful, your corner of the internet is wonderful, and I get the biggest serotonin boost from scrolling through these or seeing the "thank you anon" from you, whether it's in response to my ideas or me just rambling about/gushing over your incredible works. I appreciate you so much, thank you for sharing your amazing writing, and thank you for being so kind, uplifting, welcoming, and just all around lovely. Keep doing whatever makes you happy, whether it's sharing these with lengthy responses, short responses, or not sharing them at all. Sincerely, an anon who is grateful for you
Hey, this is a more personal message, you don't have to read it but I felt like I should say something because you've talked a lot about being ace and also about being aro and they ways that being aroace is just a simple part of you has been really comforting to see as someone who is also on the aroace spectrum. This was mostly inspired by me being really excited for G's introduction in eye to eye because I've been put in a similar position of not discussing being aroace and having people assume that my desire for close friendships was because I am also romantically interested in them is not zero. And that doesn't even touch on the amount of times I've lost friends because they don't understand or believe my sexuality when I say something, which has been hard. And to know that you are interested in telling a very similar kind of story, but one where it doesn't end in broken friendships but a QPR and that is currently bringing me so much happiness! I don't know it seems kinda silly but y&oy has been so important to me for ace reasons and eye to eye getting to be that for aroace reasons makes me smile every time I think about it! Idk what else to say other than thank you 🫂
stands in your inbox with a sword
hi :) just wanted to say you’re one of my favorite people on twt and definitely one of my favorite writers. twt can be so incredibly toxic and it sucks so much ass that you’ve gotta deal with that. if you’re more comfortable backing away from stuff that makes complete sense, but i wanted to let you know that you’re not just tolerable, people really like you and your writing. i always look forward to your posts and you’ve written some of my favorite works i’ve ever read (and i’ve been reading fanfic for a solid 8 years at minimum lol)
(+ also dw about responding or anything! just wanted to let you know)
at the end of the day, what feels healthiest and most comfortable is what you should do, but people really enjoy your presence here and you’d absolutely be missed.
hope you feel better soon :) !!
I'm just catching up and just wanted to send some appreciation your way, obviosuly no need to respond or anything. Just being in this fandom has been miserable for a while and I hope you're able to get to a place where it's fun to write and not something that bums you out or stresses you out, whether it's for this fandom or something completely different. Obviously your fics are a huge source of joy and comfort for me, but so is just your presence here (if that's not weird to say) your little corner of the internet is just a safe one and much more fun and relaxed than a lot of other places online and it never fails to make me smile to poke my head in over here, or to read or send in stuff whether its brainrots or nerding out over your writing or anything basically you have worth on your own as a person and I appreciate you a lot and I hope things get better for you irl and online. -🫐
hi!! i just want you to know that your my favourite writer in the fandom <3 your fics are all so special and unique but also treated with so much care and thought they are really beautiful!
I love u so much leyton. Youre such a great friend and Im so lucky to have meet you 🫂
love you man 🫂
I saw your tweet, I hope your day gets better. I've never said anything here before, but I guess this is a good way to start. I really love everything you write, as an aro/ace person, I really enjoy the way you portray the emotions and reasoning behind the actions of each character, it's all just -chef kiss- I get really happy with each ao3 notif from you, it's really fun to see what new idea you've come up with. Thank you for creating stories and sharing them with us! -☁️
hi leyton i think you're really cool and nice and your fics with assxuality really hit me /pos and it's nice to see other experiences and similarities and knowing i'm not alone 🫂 thank you for existing and gracing this fandom and i hope you find enjoyment still and i hope that continues many years into the future even when you've left this fandom
