The Next Step Oneshots

《 Announcements 》

Hello my friends <3

This is a small update post. I would appreciate it if you read all the points. There's a lot, eek.

1) We hit thirty thousand reads!! I'm absolutely speechless, just, I cannot express what this means to me. This community is constantly so uplifting and now that I've been a part of it for over a month I do not know who I'd be without it. You guys are truly wonderful, and every single read, vote and comment fills me with such happiness. I always felt like whilst my in real life friends are awesome, no one really got me. I was always going to be seen as a little crazy and obsessive, when really I am just a girl who expresses herself through writing and the love of fictional characters. But this, I guess, world, honestly just gets me and accepts me and makes me feel so worthy. And I am forever grateful.

2) Due to getting such a high amount of reads (tysm again, ily) and becoming closer with the members of this fandom, I've decided to give you guys a nickname to call me on here. So, it's not my real name, and I'm sorry if that seems like I'm being difficult, I've never really had any sort of online presence before so this is all v new and yeah. (panicked noises) However, this name is incredibly meaningful to me. So... (drumroll) call me:

Cece!

That was so overdramatic, smh. But yeah. Hi, I'm Cece. I enjoy writing and am too often subject to falling in love with fictional characters. I'm big on sustainability and an animal lover. I absolutely love the theatre. And, I support you. I'm here for everyone being their authentic selves.

(I sound so uninteresting ahaha but I sort of am. I'm working on self improvement and finding new interests as this stage.)

3) Discord. Firstly, I am so so honoured that many of you have invited me to be a part of your discords/encouraged me to join Myles Dobson's. To be utterly honest (is anyone going to want to associate with me after this, I'm worried tbh) I'm still, as I said, adjusting to Wattpad and feel a little uncertain when it comes to a new app with a lot of new people. However, I do want to get closer with you amazing people and I know that a couple of you feel the same way about discord, so, this may totally fail.

But. I have an idea. So, you know on Instagram when people are in groups. I thought, why not make #tnscreatorsoc or #tnswritersgrp or something which a much better name that runs right here, on Wattpad. Am I sure this will work, technologically? No. But, if it does, it could be awesome.

So, if you're in the group, there would be a joint account and some way of communicating (through an unpublished book or something?) And you'd be able to dedicate pieces or chapters to the group and it would just be really fun.

If you're interested in seeing if this can function - I'm only going to accept 6 members to start with because, yeah, this might not even work - please reply to this line of text with your fav tns ship :)

Not that it matters as such. That's how, if it succeeds in existing, this group will run. The only requirement is that you're kind. That's it. Doesn't matter whether you're busy half the time, or like a really unpopular pairing, or are nervous. You're in.

If this doesn't work out at all, you'll know cause this whole point will be removed from this post.

4) In terms of my books. As you may have noticed, I've unpublished the Letters. I will return to it eventually, just not as passionate about it at this time.

Moving swiftly (yk, I've always loved that word because it's so much more elegant and meaningful-looking than quickly, and also, Taylor.) on,

My season 8 fic is out soon! Yay! Title reveal (another drumroll por favor):

Losing Game

I'm honestly very excited for this. I have a lot of ideas.

And I will continue to update my oneshots.

Just bear with, because school. It's an important year for me, but I do want to give this account attention because it's honestly very therapeutic to write. And you guys make me happy which relieves stress. The most happy.

5) To celebrate 30k reads and 80+ followers (am I still shook? 100%) I want to do a Q&A like pretty much the entire fandom on here have been lately. So, spam me as long as it's not super personal!

6) I probs will do something else to thank you at some point, any suggestions or requests for what that would be?

☆☆☆

See, I'm higkey unsure how to write the tone of this update which is why it keeps switching because I'm so nervous about how you guys are going to react. The majority is good news, so hopefully well?

Thank you and lots of love,

Cece ♥️

p.s. although I don't sound it, I'm typically super extroverted. Just, thought you should know
