Hey, Red JinxX!
          
          I came across your story Left in the Dark yesterday and started reading — the tone really stood out. It’s sharp, eerie in all the right ways, and Daphne already feels like someone I want to follow. The world you’re building is intense, but grounded. Loved that.
          
          I just posted my first story too (Noise & Scars) — it’s more quiet and character-driven, about silence, grief, and messy people trying to find their way back to themselves.
          
          I know how hard it is to get seen here when you’re just starting, so I figured I’d reach out. I already gave your story a star (deserved!), and I’d be genuinely grateful for any support back — a read, a comment, a star, whatever feels right. Maybe we could help each other a bit?
          
          No pressure at all — just wanted to say I really liked the vibe of what you’re doing.

@N_Rutko,
            
            Hi N,
            
            Thanks so much for this message, seriously. It means a lot. I'm really glad the tone of Left in the Dark landed with you, eerie and grounded is exactly what I’m going for, so that’s amazing to hear.
            
            Noise & Scars sounds right up my alley. I’ve always had a soft spot for quiet, character-heavy stories that dig into grief and identity. I’ll definitely check it out and leave some thoughts when I can.
            
            And yeah, I feel you, starting out on here can be rough. I’m all for supporting each other where we can. Thanks again for reading and reaching out. Wishing you lots of momentum and inspiration.
