just a random bnb-er passing by. i don’t really lurk here often but i do have a few authors that i tend to follow up on on here and you are one of them! Now, imagine my surprise when I saw your leaving post. It felt like we lost a pillar in the community. honestly speaking, I completely understand where you’re coming from and understand your reasons behind leaving and or indefinitely taking a break, but I just wanted you know that you’re fic(s) has been the only one to make me cry. To successfully evoke that sort of emotion from a reader as a writer is no easy feat and you deserve to credit yourself more for that. Fics can be fun, lighthearted but they can also make you feel, make you angry and i think you’ve already succeeded in that regard. Of course, there are always things we can better ourselves in, to reach even higher heights, but i hope you know that currently standing is amazingly impressive on its own and I believe that it only goes up from here. I believe in you rowan, and in the case that you do not come back, I hope you know that you had many fans like i who wholeheartedly enjoyed your work and are very grateful to even have read them. Thus being said, I hope you enjoy the rest of your day💙 thank you for making me feel
oh goodness 😭😭😭 idk if i can be called a pillar but thank you regardless SKJNFSDKFN and this whole message you've given me is so beautiful and means so much, i'll treasure it forever 🥹 in a time where i've been feeling really insecure (as you know) this really means the world to hear, i can't express my gratitude enough <333 i'm so honored to know my works were able to connect with you emotionally, it's all i've ever wanted to achieve, so thank you for reading and thank you for leaving this for me, thank you for everything <333
hello rowan:) idk u personally but i saw your post about taking a break and i dont know if this is the right time to tell u this and im so bad with words but one night i stumbled upon one of your twitter aus and i knew i had to immediately binge all of your work. i did just that and didnt regret a second. you are amazing i wish i wasnt too much of a silent reader and could interact with u openly t-t i look up your works when i need something to read because u create masterpieces!!!!! im not someone who often rereads but i gladly do it if its your work. i hope this break will give you what u want and deserve, and may life be kinder to u and i wish you are too💗
rowan i'm writing this because i saw your tweet and i'm so sad to see you go. i want to reaffirm that you are an excellent writer who puts out beautiful, creative work. i'm going to go re-read your fics right now.
ROWANN IM SO SAD T___T, I understand, but you HAVE to know that your fics is THE MOST BEAUTIFULL, AMAZING, UNFORGETTABLE FICS I'VE EVER READ! SRSLYYYYY PLS BELIEVE MEEEEE, from the very first day I discovered your fics and then you opening twt acc and me being one of the first followers, till the last update of the pjo series my love for you never been less, but is growing and growing (idk what I'm saying, english is my second language so bear with me, the point is I LOVE YOU) I do hope you get better after thiss and perhaps still doing what you love, your love in writing, aND I always comment abt how I love you write fantasy bcs how you deliver it is so beautiful and magical, so whenever I read your fics, I felt like I could go on with my life again with that magical feeling you brought with ur writting, okay imma stop yapping rn but pls know that I love you and your writtings, with all of my heart ♡ (tbh I really want to befriend you on twt, to actually talk to you bcs you're amazing but my shyness persist, anyways love you♡)
rowannnnnn your pjo series is so good, I can’t stop thinking about it 😭😭
Hii! Genuinely idk who to turn to but i hope you know 😔 there's this reoccurring theme whenever i read a fic and haobin does something (which happens to other fics too) like hao saying bin face is like clay or tietie or it was destiny that they met. When i started fics i wasn't caught up into the lore yet as im kinda so imagine my surprise that it actually happened irl 😭 anw i see this alllll the time, bin giving himself a mark under his eye to match hao's. Did this happen too irl or just a headcanon? If its the former I'll go crazy
