Hey :)
This note is a bit of a replacement for a chapter, but keep reading!
I'm taking the SAT on March 14th so I really need to crack down and study. I'll try and post a chapter before then, but for now I'm just giving a little update!
(As I type I am procrastinating on an essay ahahaha)
You can follow me to receive updates about what-the-heck-is-going-wrong-in-my-life or to receive book notifications!
With that out of the way, I have two very exciting announcements.
Here goes ;)

Guidelines:
- You may create your own cover art, or edit an image from the Internet!
- If you choose the latter, you must credit the original artist.
- Try not to include (Y/n) in the cover. All readers have a different interpretation of her, after all! (Her hand or scimitar would be fine).
- Obviously, include the title of the book in it :) I'd appreciate proper capitalization unless you're going for a certain aesthetic!
- 512 x 800 pixels are the standard dimensions of a Wattpad book cover.
- Only one submission per participant. If you want to touch up the cover after submitting, that is okay — just shoot me a heads up!
- Email final product to akaleesindra@gmail.com
- Deadline is March 16th, 2020.
Thank you again for the amazing cover that has been the face of Our Halcyon Days <3
Honorable mentions will be included in the results chapter! Please inform me in the event you would not like your cover to be shown as an honorable mention.
Last time, I received 11 submissions out of a consistent audience of 1.5k readers.
(Though, I understand I was partially at fault for not specifying edits were allowed, oop)
But seriously,
Have confidence in yourselves!
I know for a fact we have many talented artists and editors on our hands.
Don't be afraid to flaunt it a little :)

While at the moment, I have only a decent plot concept at best, I have already put a lot of thought into (Y/n)'s Quirk.
My lovely idea dump is below. I wanted to share the Quirk early so you may make comments/recommendations on how I could improve it.
If you're confused, ask questions! I would be happy to answer.
Here is everything you may want to use in your cover-making 'endeavors' ;)

adjective
1. Soon passing out of sight, memory, or existence; quickly fading or disappearing.

Quirk:
Soul Fragment
Type:
Emitter
'Soul' = vitality, life energy, etc.
(Y/n) can manifest her Soul as tangible objects in the physical world: Fragments.
Fragments consume a portion of her Soul, the amount of which depending on various factors.
Returning a Fragment to her body restores the Soul used for manifesting that Fragment — meaning, no net gain or loss of energy.
However, if the Fragment breaks, whatever remains of it disappears, and all the Soul used for its manifestation is lost.
Soul is naturally restored through sleep and rest.
Upon complete depletion of Soul, (Y/n)'s body will cease to function.

(Partially inspired by Hollow Knight!)
Prepare yourselves for more wholesome and heart-wrenching content >:)
Oh, and before I forget!
Yes, Our Halcyon Days is nearing the end of the anime season.
But fear not!
I'm definitely willing to take this into manga content, as long as y'all are in for the ride <3
I'm creating my own original mini-arc at the moment, so yeah. That'll be a thing.
I'm looking forward to implementing all my wonderful ideas, and while execution is another story, I have high hopes for it :)
Writing is a lot of fun and I'm so glad I can share it with you!
As always, thank you for your unending patience and support,
From an author to her beloved, fellow fans.
