Dear Verification Team,

“But I’m just one person” WRONG “me buying a drink from starbucks won’t make a difference” WRONG “I’m not able to donate so I can’t help Palestine” WRONG “posting doesn’t matter” WRONG “boycotting won’t actually do anything” WRONG “it’s the government that’s funding the genocide, so I don’t have a way to help” WRONG

Did you just redact the J O H N spelling of the Archivist's name?

this was so funny

Absolutely! I'm so excited for you to see what I have in the fic!

The only things my story concept would keep would be the idea of an immortal, regenerative person being exploited over generations. It would be taking place in a different country, with different characters, different cultures, different symbolism and themes, and so on. I wouldn't reuse any of your dialogue, setting, or situations.

(I even invented different injuries because I wanted to go grosser than I did in "Seven Days", lol.)

I hope this eases any concerns you have about the direction I wanted to go. If you have any other questions or concerns, please let me know! The premise of Jon as a magical being inspired me so much and the last thing I want to do would be to detract anything from a writer like yourself.

Writing based on the Magic Shop has been a wonderful exercise and I look forward to finishing my fic. One of the commenters inspired me to novelize the story, set in an original context unconnected to TMA. I have some story notes and outlines already done, though no solid plans. If I were to pursue that, what kind of credit would you want?

I appreciate you asking, but I don't really feel comfortable with you turning something based on my work into an original piece. Fanfiction is one thing because we're all playing in the same space and you can link directly back to my story hosted on the same website, but when it's original fiction it becomes disconnected from my work and owned by you. Especially considering around half of your story so far is a retelling of mine, it crosses a line for me that my work and plotline would be used for your original work.

I have really loved getting to read your fanfic, and I think you have a lot of super creative original ideas in there. If you wanted to write an original piece following the backstory of Jon you came up with, for example, that would be super cool and not lifted from anything I've written. But I'd appreciate it if you'd leave out anything including the plot of the Magic Shop, and that specific world I've written.

Additionally, I've considered turning my own story into an original piece someday, and if you did publish your own I'd lose the ability to take claim of my own story.

I hope you understand and I can't wait to read the rest of your story!!!!

Love that tma is so traumatic constantly that we all gloss over the fact that Jon was kidnapped and forcibly moisturized while tied to a chair for a month.

Every time I think too hard about it it actually freaks me out. And Jon never talks about it again which also freaks me out

Characters I think would have Fragile X syndrome.

Because FXS bitches are starved of representation.

(Very short & basic information: Fragile X syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by mild-to-moderate intellectual disability. About a third of those affected have features of autism such as problems with social interactions and delayed speech. Hyperactivity is common, and seizures occur in about 10%. Males are usually more affected than females.

Speech may be cluttered or nervous. Behavioral characteristics may include stereotypic movements (e.g., hand-flapping) and atypical social development, particularly shyness, limited eye contact, memory problems, and difficulty with face encoding.)

frustrate that sometimes people reduce auditory process problems to just , sometimes words is hard understand . because yes that is often big part for people but not only one .

sometimes get so bad for self that might as well not be english language . also have problems know where sounds from , and sometimes even what is in first place . something could be cat or alarm might not know which . like need think in head what make sense for place for time for situation , not just always know what sound is what .

and someone could talk for minute before realise talk , even when hear brain just do not … realise . can be much more struggle than just little bit hard understand words .

( maybe some this influence by other brain stuff and ear stuff . but still . is frustrate lump all down as just small words problem . )

i think that killing a dragon should have catastrophic nuclear-fallout level environmental consequences tbh. their blood should scorch and wither the earth with fire and poison, the toxic fumes released as they decay should choke the land and all nearby living creatures, and the entire landscape where they fell should be transformed into a blighted wasteland where bleached leviathan bones loom upwards out of the ground as a warning that can be seen from miles away, the boundary markers of an exclusion zone.

public service message that thinking "Maybe speaking up about Palestine is too controversial/political for me to do" or "maybe mentioning good aspects about Palestinians while they're suffering so much is not okay" is exactly the kind of mindset zionists want you to have and have been hard at work for years for people to develope. thank you.

Oh goodness, I'm so excited! I have most of it written, but no specific update schedule in mind. I'll definitely send you the link when I drop the first chapter.

I got obsessed with "The Magic Shop" and I'm working on a fic inspired by it! Could I ask a couple of questions about the last chapter? First, did you have something in mind that Jon/Kit whispers in Angela's ear? Second, does the line "He... turned back into the room, rushing back up to Martin’s side and pushing the book into the center of HIS chest" mean Jon's or Martin's chest? PS, congratulations on making the fic stream!

Oh my gosh I’m so glad you liked it!!! And ahhh the fic stream 😂 I was overjoyed to hear them read not one but TWO of my story fragments, and yet my soul will never recover from hearing Jonny and Alex spend five full minutes calling me horny over and over again

Assigned as the horniest in the fandom by the fuckin writers. I’ll never live it down 😂

But yes! Your questions! I did not have an official idea in mind of what Jon whispered into Angela’s ear. That last chapter and final scene especially underwent a lot of heavy edits because I was having a hard time making whatever Jon did to Angela have the impact I wanted. In the end, the decision to have him whisper in her ear inaudibly was a lil bit of a work around. Came out cool and badass without me needing to figure out what that would look like 😅 BUT what I generally imagine him saying and what I was TRYING to make work in the scene is something like:

“The world may deserve magic, but you deserve *nothing*.”

Second question is easier to answer! The intention was he pushes it into Martin’s chest, like a child demanding a bedtime story 💕

I hope this helps!!! I’m SO excited that you’re inspired enough by the story to write something. I love this universe and I had some tentative plans to write spin-offs myself but I never figured out what story I’d want to tell, so I’m so so glad that someone else will help it live on.

Please link it to the original story and send it to me on here so I can read it when it’s done!!!

May I also add:

Jon hasn't internalized he can trust Martin because of season 2 behavior, delirium, flashbacks, amnesia, etc. and he has to learn to trust the gut feeling telling him that Martin is safe

obsessed with hurt/comfort fics where martin attempts to comfort jon like how someone would try and coax a spooked cat down from a tree
