oooooooh IM GLAD YOU ASKED *flips out a list a mile long*
ive been actually looking for an excuse to do this for a while, because i love all of these people with a burning passion and i wanted to let them know, instead of just quietly praising them in secret groupchats. honestly each and every single person in this fandom is a treasure and i am so grateful for all of you. every single person. but then again writers do have a special place in all our hearts, so im just gonna list everyone i can think of, and i suggest you settle in. i had to do a little investigating because i didnt know who everyone was on tumblr and i was going by their ao3 accounts, but fear not because i had help. (thanks, darling.)
AKA in retaliation to a certain and by now well-known “hitlist”, famous all across the land, heres my answer in the form of a supercat fandom writers’ LOVELIST. take it or leave it, but im puttin it out there anyway.
my love to all of you on this list and also everyone else i undoubtedly managed to forget (feel free to add!!!), so without further ado:
@fictorium because of course. (asking too much!!!!!! ballet au!!!!!!!!!!!!! when you say nothing at all!!!!! and too many other things to list!!!! the mayor of supercat village, for anyone who knows about my crazy vision and whatnot. if not, im happy to elaborate.)

@iblamethenubbins because two hearts one roof!!!!!!!!! is amazing with an abundance of “gay panic” as mayka would say. so precious. (also caffeinated heartbeats!!!!!!!!!!)
@abcooper because subtle like an anvil falls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! is everything i never knew i wanted but now it has very much become a need in itself and its all kinds of brilliant too.
@musetotheworld because he blows my mind with everything he does, honestly. (most recently home is not a place !!!!!! but!!!!! so!!!!!! much!!!!!! more!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
@moonstarsparkle because her property!!!!!!!!! has had more of an effect on me than i ever realised and i keep being reminded how good this fic really is.

@roguedanvers because she is satans actual daughter, a weaver of words so angsty it will make your grandchildren cry. and yet…pure joy.
@villainousunsub because shes my cool friend who enjoys watching me break over her words. maybe a little bit more than she should. (but i still forgive u)

and finally @lost-your-memory because how i love thee? let me count the ways. she writes angst more often than not, because she enjoys breaking hearts almost as much as she likes to mend them. and i will never give up trying to corrupt her with my fluff, but only time will tell how succesful that can be. a girl can dream. 💙
