I also started reading Try Something Tuesday and I really like it so far. The only thing is that's not how I remember elementary school being set up. We took school buses on field trips, had parent chaperons helping teachers and more than 10 kids in a class.I think I'm OCD or anal retentive or something, I'm so sorry. Maybe things are different now. I was in 3rd grade 20 yrs ago after all.
I grew up in England and moved to New Zealand, and school systems are different between the two countries, but they’re still very different to the US system, which I really have no knowledge of. And I don’t remember a whole lot from 3rd grade/year 3. What I wrote in TST was a mashup of a UK style classroom (maybe a 5th or 6th grade class) and a NZ middle school. One of my betas for that fic teaches in Puerto Rico and she was pretty sure what I wrote was accurate for the US, but obviously there’s discrepancies. Hopefully the difference is not too bothersome. Thank you for reading it, though! I hope you enjoy the rest~

Can I just say that you are pretty much my favorite fanfic writer. I first read your fic "try something Tuesday" and I suggest to everyone looking to read a good fic, but then I found Angelhawke and no fic had ever, ever compared to that. (And I read a lot of fics.) It is and will forever be my favorite. I can go on and on for hours about how much I freaking loved that fic. Please don't ever stop writing.
//melts into a little blob of happiness
Thank you, so very much. Both Try-Something Tuesday and Angelhawke have a special place in my heart, and I love that you love them. They were what made me love writing, and messages like this make me continue to love writing. If I have my way, I will keep writing forever. ♥

hi omg I just spent the past two and a half hours reading Try-Something Tuesday and I'm actually a mess right now oh my god its the cutest thing I've ever read thank you so much for writing it
iT TOO K YOU FI V E DAYS?????????????? its 50k???????? how much of those 5 days did you spend writing :o (also any tips on writing that much in so little time??? it takes me like five days just to think of a good plot :()
yeah, when I put my head down and actually get to work I get a helluva lot done :P
uhh, I think I probably spent about 10-12 hours writing each day? I forgot to eat and move and stuff, and I barely slept. it’s not the healthiest way to get things done, but for the time I was writing it I was totally obsessed with it, I didn’t think about anything else.
tips? there’s a lot I wrote out here, but I’d also recommend that age-old trick of “write something every day”, because you get into the habit of using words to say things. sounds simple, but that’s the thing you gotta do so that it’s quicker when you need that talent for real. c:

Did you write try-something Tuesday??
Yes I did!
Not that you asked, but I’ll tell you anyway: it took me 5 days to write, and even though I posted another 47 stories after that one, nearly all of which took far longer than 5 days to write, it remains my most popular story ever. I love the responses and comments I get on it, and I’m very proud of it c:

so i’m just gonna publish this because i’m sure almaasi would be pleased to see your reaction after just finishing Try-Something-Tuesday and jesus you read it fast. i linked you to it like, not even 5 hours ago. I’m a slow ass reader, it took me a day or so to read TST ;~;
Man, if you think that story is big though, wait til you read Angelhawk or Foxfire Blossom (both by almaasi)
I’m freakin’ pleased as hell you enjoyed it, wait til you read her other things, dude. she’s glorious and a very talented writer kfjhdaskjgh
So I'm new to the whole Destiel fandom and Try Something Tuesday was my first foray into fanfic for the pairing. It was amazing! Excited to read more of your stuff.
Whoo! Thank you, I’m rather fond of that story~ I hope you enjoy some of the 36 other stories I’ve written OuO
