Just wanted to say I really love your palletshipping fic on ao3 ☺️ I never really read fics with many OCs before but when I discovered yours I binged through it lol idk if you have plans to continue it but if you do I can’t wait to read it! (But if you don’t I respect that, don’t want to seem pushy so apologies if this comes off like that!)

Hey anon!

Sorry I have no idea when you sent this message - I’ve not logged into a lot of my social medias (including my Ao3) for some time.

Thank you so much! I’m glad you like it :D Yes I plan on continuing, but I’ve been forced to take a hiatus. Last time I was on Ao3 I had replied to a message saying “hopefully next week” and legit this was like a month ago.

The tl;dr involves a family emergency among some smaller on-going things keeping me away. In that same message I said “nothing bad, just inconvenient” except I must have jinxed it or something. A family member was attacked and he is currently in hospital with bad head injuries - we don’t know who attacked or why (he wasn’t mugged). On top of that, we suspect that one of my uncles is stealing family photographs from my other uncle who we are the primary carers for. He’s only supposed to be there to help sort things out. This isn’t the only thing he’s doing either but I’ll leave it there.

I have much of the fic already written and it’s simply waiting on some edits and Beta - I have 20 chapters in actual fact. I don’t plan on this going to waste! It’s a real slow-burn of a work.

I don’t know how long I will be and I sincerely apologise for dropping off the face of the earth like this.

Your ask isn’t too pushy at all - feel free to drop me an ask any time. If you drop me one off anon, I’ll always answer privately :)

palletshipping I hope you see this anon I'm sorry I've taken so long!

Me: …The hell is it called the ‘drawing room’ for? Was drawing really such a wide-spread hobby, and if so, why do I never see any art equipment in the reconstructions of any of these rooms?

Historian, curator and documentary presenter Dr Lucy Wosley: Actually it was originally called the ‘withdrawing room’, as in the place one withdrew to, and where only family and important guests were allowed to enter. The name got shortened over time.

Me: Oooooohhhh

wait, so all those scenes where people are invited into the ‘drawing room’ are actually a declaration of intimacy and close friendship or otherwise close ties / importance?
