You have no idea how many times in the last year I've heard "great fic, horrible title!" and i'm just like *headdesk* bc the irony of the title was kinda part of the point

...The title was why I read it. It was like a small signpost saying, "There will be awesomeness and humor in here." *sadfaces at the title haters*

YES, HI, AM AJA.

HI HI HI! I actually know you as bookshop, because you are one of about five people who write Hikaru no Go, which for me is the Small Fandom I Would Force People to Love If Only I Could. (They whine at me, all, "But I don't waaaaaaanna read about animated middle-schoolers who play a board game!" And I have no choice but to judge them harshly.)

But I had not for some reason - likely serious inattentiveness - made the Aja - bookshop connection. So hi!
