User blog comment:Weavillain/My Top 5 Favorite MrTyeDye Fanfictions/@comment-32202721-20170809123502

I woke up this morning, saw this in the recent blogs tab, and spent about thirty minutes losing my sheesh. Needless to say, I'm flattered and humbled. More than flattered and humbled, actually.

I'll respond with a few scattered notes:

- I had no idea that my descriptions of the pancakes in Birthday Breakfast were that tantalizing. When I was writing the story, I was a little concerned that I might have been spending too much time narrating Lincoln's cooking, but apparently I spent just the right amount!

- Fun fact: Lincoln's secret in chapter 5 of Shrinkin' Lincoln is based on something that I did when I was a little kid. I had to use a more recent movie to account for Lincoln's age, but other than that the story's pretty much the same.

- If there was anything I took away from One Flu Over the Loud House, it was that Leni, while dim, is emotionally intelligent and as sweet as sweet can be. That's part of what inspired me to write Mall Rats, and I really went out of my way to show that side of her when I could.

- I was kind of surprised that Sour Spot turned out as good as it did. Originally (as per the request), the fic was supposed to end with all ten sisters apologizing and letting him have the sweet spot whenever he wanted. That didn't sound right to me, so I convinced the requester to let me tweak the pitch a little, leading to... well, what I came out with.

And finally, Gumball's right; I'm proud to call both you and him my friends. Both of you have written some of the finest work I've read in the TLH fandom, and I'm always stoked to hear that you think the same of me. Thank you for this.

As Amir Blumenfeld would say, today I learned that I'm a pimp and a cool!
