The term "bookversary" has been popping up for the anniversary of book publications. Is ficversary a word yet? If so, it's time to use it in honor of Silbrith publishing "Complications" -- her first ever fanfic -- on October 23, 2014.
When "Complications" was published I was excited and nervous. What if readers weren't kind? What if they didn't recognize what a great story it was, and made Silbrith regret listening to my encouragement to publish?
Fortunately readers did delight in "Complications" and in the many stories that followed. It has been such a pleasure to share a sandbox with Silbrith. Weaving our stories together into a single AU has brought -- bad pun warning! -- complications. Fortunately, like Peter and Neal and Henry, we thrive on certain types of complications.
Happy 5th ficversary, Silbrith!
Thank you for allowing me to complicate your life -- and your stories -- in sooooo many different ways! For over five years, you've been a friend, a mentor, and the best writing partner one could ever hope to have. Here's to another five years of writing adventures!
