Fan Spotlights: Anna Marie / Gia's Song / The World Turned Upside Down

Opening Author's Notes
What's  up, guys? Hoping everyone's been doing great! Am making progress on the next bonus chapter, but I feel like this second set of Fan Spotlights came together so quickly that I wanted to polish it quickly and spotlight. Again, even  though Wattpad is only allowing one "official" dedication per chapter,  these are the authors who this chapter is dedicated to. They've supported this more than I could ask and are talented authors in their own right and so are the  subjects of this, the second Fan Spotlight chapter (who also contributed  to this chapter):

JEONGYEONS (Gia) – A cool Filipina K-Pop author who is currently living and studying in Japan. She has a set of cool stories including Wrong Sent starring Chaeyeon from IOI and DIA in addition to BTS, Jokbal starring Twice's Japanese contingent (Mina, Momo and Sana) and Letters To Rosé starring Blackpink. She absolutely has the ability to make you laugh and cry and shows it in her writing. (I also can't shake the feeling I owe her money because she told me in comments that she's broken furniture in her house twice while reading this story!)

GoldsberryDiggs (Katherine) – You've already met via a previous chapter, and she is also bringing in SuperDorkyWriter (Lana), who is a teen fiction, short story and poetry author, as a guest character.

-translucent (Anna Marie) – A great Marvel author who is writing a action- and drama-filled story called Transcendent that features original characters in addition to Pietro and Wanda Maximoff (Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch) and Bucky Barnes (the Winter Soldier) as they appear in the ongoing Avengers films, with appearances from other Avengers characters including Iron Man. Be warned that it features Tarantino levels of gore, but it has a lot more than that, so if you pick it up, I definitely think you'll enjoy it!

Beginning with the day of the Summer Split finals, we met still more amazing people who had been cheering us on and who left their mark on their us and gave us a shot in the arm. In another of the groups that was exploring New York by themselves after our celebratory dinner following the finals, Seohyun, LemonNation and Sneaky were spending a lot of time in a lit-up Times Square checking out as much they could in that area. While they were doing so, a girl with a Marvel T-shirt and a camera caught sight of them but was unsure of what to do next until she realized that Sneaky had seen her and pointed her out.

Seeing Seohyun and Lemon also turn, she allowed them to see her putting her camera away and said, "Hey, you guys were great at the finals and I hope you're having a great day!"

"Thanks a lot! I wasn't even head coach today – more like an assistant – so I don't know if I deserve credit, but it always feels great." Lemon replied, and they started walking over.

"Yeah, thanks! You know, you're the first person today who hasn't asked us for a selfie or an autograph when they've run into us." Sneaky remarked appreciatively.

"That's because she doesn't want to bother us." Seohyun said, comprehension also dawning on her. She turned from Sneaky back to her and finished, "Thanks a lot for the consideration! That's kind of you, but you wouldn't be bothering us. What's your name?"

"Call me Anna Marie." She replied, continuing in an awestruck tone, "I'm still not sure if I'm asleep right now or if the most iconic people to ever exist are really in front of me. Besides that, I hope you've all had a great time so far in Times Square – it sure is big!"

"Thanks a lot! Although I'm not sure about 'most iconic people to ever exist', though we like hearing that." Lemon said with a small but sincere smile.
