One last(?) victory toot toot, or perhaps a celebration of new beginnings

This isn’t just a post to celebrate me finally finishing my latest fanfic. It’s also an explanation of why Zootopia means so much to me.

Mirrored comment from tumblr:

> I can’t believe it. 116,000+ words written across six stories since April 2016, when this crazy awesome movie named Zootopia tricked me into writing fanfiction for the first time. > > I appreciate each and every one of the readers who stuck with this last story, even though updates were glacially slow at times. This was entirely due to the real life drama of taking care of my aging mother, who passed away in January. I gotta say, writing about losing a parent and experiencing it are two completely different things. > > If I’ve learned anything from the past few months, it’s to treasure your loved ones, plan for the future, and don’t wait for someday, because if you wait too long, someday will be yesterday. And if you or someone you know has lost a parent, I highly recommend the book *The Orphaned Adult: Understanding And Coping With Grief And Change After The Death Of Our Parents* > by Alexander Levy. It really has helped me work through this. > > I’m thankful every day that a wonderful movie like Zootopia exists. It got me off my butt and writing, and it helped me to get through a really rough period in my life. > > Now that I seem to have finally gotten my writing mojo back, I’m working on a novel to enter into a competition for unpublished authors. Assuming anything comes of it, I’ll certainly post an update here. > > Feel free to ask me anything, either on tumblr or over on reddit (username PullTogether there as well as on fanfiction.net and AO3). I also occasionally hang out on several zootopia discord servers, as well as the fanfiction and writer’s block discords, so don’t hesitate to say hi.

One final note: If you’ve been reading my stories on fanfiction.net, I hope you’ll go check out my newly created tumblr account and see all the wonderful artwork that others have created for my stories. The dinky cover images on FF just don’t do them justice, and my last story has two bonus images in addition to the cover (though if you haven’t finished reading Nick Needs a Family, the first image on tumblr is a big fat spoiler, so you might want to go read it first).

I'm on [fanfiction.net](https://www.fanfiction.net/u/7730280/) and [AO3](http://archiveofourown.org/users/PullTogether) (I recommend AO3, since the artwork is included with the stories)
