Just added you! Glad you liked a few of the fics :)

[livinlavidalove.livejournal.com]

hey! i read some of your fic a while back and would love to read it again. add? thanks!

[actualite.livejournal.com]

Just added you :)

[2theletter.livejournal.com]

Uh, I think I got kicked out somehow. Can you re-add me?

[actualite.livejournal.com]

Oh, sorry, I take people off after a while if they don't friend back. I'm kind of paranoid after the BP/Deadspin incident and would prefer to keep my flist down to mutual friends :)

[2theletter.livejournal.com]

Oh, totally my fault, then. I'll definitely add you.

[lights-source.livejournal.com]

I'd like to read that Salty/Kinsler piece you wrote again - could you add me?

[actualite.livejournal.com]

Definitely! Adding you now :)

[mrhomolicious.livejournal.com]

May I please read?

[actualite.livejournal.com]

Sure, but before I do could you tell me how you found this? I noticed you're not a member of theboysofsummer. Sorry for being paranoid, I've just had a couple of bad experiences with people sharing my fics in inappropriate venues and am trying to be careful about who gets access to it :)

[chiasmus.livejournal.com]

Do you mind if I friend you? :)

[actualite.livejournal.com]

Not at all! I shall friend you back :)

[mrhomolicious.livejournal.com]

I was reading Smellyleaf's writing, from way back when, then I think there was a fic trade, and I liked your writing, so I came here.

[actualite.livejournal.com]

Oh, cool. I just want to be sure you're not disappointed that I don't write any Olympics fic :)

[jessezmase.livejournal.com]

I keep getting blocked from your journal. Somehow I switched my username from "love-baseball" to my real name 'jessezmase'. Oh, well. I love your writing - can I have access and not get the goat?

[actualite.livejournal.com]

Sure! I didn't block you or anything, btw! I just checked and I'm still friends with love_baseball. Didn't realize your name changed :) I'll add your new name now.

[violetawater.livejournal.com]

Hi! I read on theboysofsummer from time to time and I was wondering if I would be able to read some of more of your fic. :D

[actualite.livejournal.com]

Sure! Adding you now. Hope you enjoy!

[doublewhoopee.livejournal.com]

Hi! I found your fics on ao3 and love them! Could I be added? :)

[actualite.livejournal.com]

Definitely! Glad you like the fics :) Adding you now.

[thebeanweasel.livejournal.com]

Hey there...I read your stuff on AO3 + was compelled to create a LiveJournal just so I could compliment you! I don't know if you're still writing or if you have more that I could read, but it would be greatly appreciated. I know it looks suspect because my LJ is literally five minutes old, but I can assure you that I'm just a fan. I specifically love anything Kinsler related, but I also love the way you write general banter/dialogue + anything baseball.

[actualite.livejournal.com]

Hey! So glad you have been enjoying the fics! Thanks for letting me know; it really means a lot. I'll add you if you want to take a look at the fics I haven't posted over at AO3 (just follow the link in this post to the master list). If you liked Ian and dialogue you may enjoy the chat fic....the others that weren't posted to AO3 are mostly weird AUs that I didn't want to post unlocked. Hope you find something you like! And thanks again :)

[thebeanweasel.livejournal.com]

Ian + Joe Mauer are my favourite players. There's just something about dialogue that I love. I find it very difficult to write. And just general locker room chat + stuff is fun. I like to try to imagine what's being said on the bench + stuff when I watch games!

I even thoroughly enjoyed your zombie fic + I am no zombie fangirl!

Are you still writing fics?

[actualite.livejournal.com]

Ian + Joe Mauer are my favourite players

Haha, fictional Salty is jealous! But it's very appropriate, because it's so very apparent that Ian has a huge crush on Joe Mauer. Pretty sure Ian loved it when this happened. I would read fic about those two together! I too love imagining what gets said on the bench and in the clubhouse about certain things. And sometimes what they actually say is way better than anything I could imagine.

Glad you enjoyed the zombie fic :) I'm not a big zombie fangirl either but I love the post-apocalypse setting and think it makes for good romance.

The short answer is that yes I am still writing! But I am in the midst of several really big fics and had a really busy summer so it's been a while since I posted anything. I'm hoping to finish something soon.

[thebeanweasel.livejournal.com]

Please do keep writing! Especially in the dreaded off-season! So deadly boring + I go crazy looking for scraps of baseball. It's totally depressing.

The setting for the zombie fic was very The Road by Cormac McCarthy.

I'm always trying to read lips + living for the little moments where the camera captures something in the dugout. I'm sad. I've noticed this year that the Rangers are very into hair ruffling. I LOVE THAT. But I always want to know things about baseball - like when they eat dinner, what do they eat, when do they get to the stadium, what do they do on the plane...even with all the social media we rarely get a glimpse of this. I sound like an insane creepy fan. I want to assure you that I'm not...but...ehhhh.....

I'm actually going to a game tonight + won't be able to watch the Rangers for the 1st time since I put up the $$$ to watch them on MLB TV.

And doesnt EVERYONE have a crush on Joe Mauer? Like, I feel it's legally required. I read a superhot [but super short] fic about Mauer + Morneau + catcher's gear as bondage...that image has been permanently stuck in my mind grapes.

But I feel like I don't know as much about Ian as I do about Mauer. I've been a fan of both of them for years, but I'm learning....
