When the Stars Collide has gotten an HONORABLE MENTION AT THE OPEN NOVELLA CONTEST THIS YEAR!! Oh my god, you guys don't know how HUGE this is for me and how happy I am. I would have never thought that my hockey x celebrity romance with heavy topics and mental health themes would get this far. 
          
          In other news, I'm still aiming to release my sapphic hockey rivals to lovers novella by end of the month! It will be around 9 to 11 chapters, and it is book 2 in the Volleyed Into Love series, which is my wattpad original in the paid program that will be relaunched by end of September! Either September 30th or October 1st.

Hihi, I come bearing 2 small stuff!
          
          When the Stars Collide has SHORTLISTED in the ONC 2026!! That's such a huge accomplishment for me, and I'm so happy to see a story that means so much to me to achieve this!
          
          Some of you may know I had started a sapphic hockey rivalry story for ONC but didn't write past chapter 3 haha. Well, I took it down temporarily because it will be back up online once I have it completed as a small novella! I'm planning on having it up again by end of August. If you were looking for a sapphic version of Heated Rivalry (never watched the show lol), then I Pucking Hate You will be perfect. 
          
          And that's all for today! 

Hi hi, I've come here to announce that, after putting it off for TWO YEARS, the novella Lethal Encounter is now finally a novel! The remaining 6 chapters are, unfortunately, still from the old version but it's done! I'm happy lol.

          And When the Stars Collide is also a novel, so it's ready to be read, with it all being rushed and messy a bit but it's done for now lol! Also I got to use Gwendoline Christie as a reference for one of the side characters finally, so I'm *double* happy.

          I'm also, unfortunately, very much burnt out lol. Writing over 10k in the last 4 days has been a lot, coupled with my mental health down in the drain, but I think you guys will be happy to know that my sapphic rivals to lovers wattpad original, Volleyed Into Love, will be out no later than the end of this September, so here's to no breaks and more writing! 

I've completed a short story for the Pride Awards! It's a vampire story inspired largely by the canceled Netflix series, First Kill. This is basically my 3rd or 4th attempt at writing a vampire story LOL, and on top of that, I only wrote and planned this story of roughly 5k words in a total of 4 days, so it's pretty messy haha. 
          
          The story *does* have the dreamlandbooks tag, for those who are in Dreamland and are participating in the summer challenge event.

Привет, @-MilaSteele!
          
          Я нашел твою историю "Beating Only For You (GXG)" на Wattpad и решил написать.
          
          Ты классно пишешь! Продолжай в том же духе! ✨

So it's the final week of Pride month, and Wattpad decides to showcase ONLY bxb stories on their homepage banner? Not even a following banner for the gxg pride spotlight list?? How does that even make sense. I know it's not subtle to anyone that bxb gains more attention and popularity largely due to straight women fetishizing bxb content, and it's just sad to see that Wattpad seemingly isn't being genuinely supportive of ALL queer content, especially GXG. It's just frustrating and disappointing. They could have simply included 2 banners for bxb AND gxg. Nothing at all against the bxb stories, this is just me voicing my frustration at nobody in particular as a sapphic author. 
          
          Alright till next time lol

Hi guys! I have some exciting news to share!

Hi, how's everyone? Hope you are all doing okay!
          
          This has been a bit overdue, but I'm happy to say that Colliding Shadows was picked as round 2 Amb Pick and When the Stars Collide is a round 2 winner for ONC!! This is such a huge accomplishment for me, because the most i had back at my first and last ONC 2024 was longlisting, so this was such an amazing result!! 
          
          Anyway, that's all for now! 

Hii, is the book 2 of bossed into a deal published???

I did it! I competed When the Stars Collide for ONC round 3 at around 32k words and managed to submit it, thankfully! I will be expanding it a lot and turning it into a novel, I am not sure if I will submit it for wattys this year unfortunately due to recent mental health "complications". There are a lot of things I've skipped in the novella, and it's very rushed lol, so if you want to wait and read the novel, you're more than welcome to (but comments are obviously very much appreciated on the novella anyway so i can have more help in determining what and how to fix) 
          
          Thank you SO much to wattpadcreators for adding BOFY to their featured horror stories list!!! It was such a nice surprise, omg. And chicklit for adding Espresso Shot Through the Heart to the Amb picks! 
          
          Also huge thanks to @-DeeIsDead- for giving me the motivation to write WtSC. Without them, I don't think I would have been able to make it. 
          
          And that's all for now! I am doing a little better now, at least enough to come back online, and thank you to everyone who has wished me well <33
