am I allowed to be annoyed at historical fiction novels that advertise one era and then show a completely different era of fashion? Like, ma’am, that’s not regency that’s 1830s. Look at that Cindy Lou Who hair! Those big ass sleeves! 1830s!! Instagram makes me grumpy

Posted my 100th fic on Ao3 before going to bed last night, and guess what? It’s the silliest, fluffiest thing I’ve written in months. A man is jealous of a cat. It’s so stupid, I love it so much ONE HUNDRED FICS!
