I have officially graduated, so fingers crossed that means I have more time and energy to use to write more stories and update the ones I already have posted!

@AnnaWolf2001  Enjoy!  As Adele would say "Hello from the other side!".  I'm retired.  I spend my days wearing a ridiculous straw hat, puttering around on my lawn tractor. Chasing barn cats off my porch.  (The little, half feral sh!ts, try to sneak in the house. They have a heated barn and a job to do.) And, of course,  lots of reading!
          	  You've probably already heard us old farts saying "It goes by so fast!"   It does. It's what you do in the time between that matters. I hope you find a lot of happiness along the way.

@DeeDee7701 Thank you so much <3 :D As exciting as it is, I must admit, it's left me in a really strange mental space, because I am slowly realizing I have never actually not been in school until now, and I am a big dizzied by such freedom all of a sudden lmao! I have felt pretty inspired though so there's that at least!

Wrapping up the last of my final class, so I'll have a lot more free time to write and work on stories and my other creative outlets, so hopefully a new and more constant uploading schedule for Regina's story will come into fruition. I have also been tussling with this for a rewrite/reimagining idea for a while, so depending on how that goes, there's a possibility of a mass chapter upload in the future, just in time for summer, haha. If I were to run with this idea of a rewrite of Regina's story, is there any changes you'd like to see? I personally would really like to incorporate Winston into the rewrite a lot sooner and explore more development of Regina as a character herself and her abilities. I think that would be really fun, so I hope you guys think so too. I just think the way I have constructed the current version of Regina's timeline is very creatively constraining, and a fresh start might be just what I need to find my passion for the story and characters again, and maybe even in ways never seen before. Not to worry, this hypothetical rewrite, or 'Reignition' if you will of Regina's story would be completely separate and follow a different timeline than the one we'vee seen thus far with her story, I wouldn't go back and rewrite all the chapters of the current, as that would add even more confusion dn future plot holes so this is why it'd be a completely fresh slate and exploration of a different timeline.

Not dead yet! But not quite back from the 'dead' yet either! Anyways, I know it's not what many of you probably had been hoping for or expecting...But I hope you'll give the new bonus/lore chapter a chance before being too upset with me... A more normal Regina & Co. chapter will be posted hopefully sometime in early June, but we'll see how much life and classes have kicked my ass. Anyways... NEW CHAPTER of Regina's Story posted now!

Don't you just love when you SOMEHOW manage to misplace not two, but SIX whole-ass chapters T-T Literally how does that shit even happen?!  
          
          FYI, I have literally been losing my whole damn mind (just like Regina, haha) over Google Docs lately. I don't knwo if it updated or if I my account got hacked, but I tell you it is a very, very UNFUN feeling to be magically losing so much work. Long story short, I got a terribly worrying email from Google about a week ago that said that my email account (the one where all my chapters, character bios, chapter & plot timeline, and well, literally everything you can imagine relating to my stories) had 'violated' Google's terms and had been terminated. 
          
          Naturally, I started hyperventilating and having a mini mid-twenties (premature heart attack, I am sure). Luckily, I still had access and started manically downloading all my files/docs in worst case scenario  right. I literally have no idea what the hell even happened, but it ended up being fine?? I can still access and edit everything but I literally still hold my breath when checking to make sure everything is all good and dandy still T-T ANYWAYS to the point I literally for the life of me cannot find some of my pre-written (unedited & poorly planned) chapters that were a timeline mess but like I write certain segments and then just figure out where they'll logically fit without distracting too far away from Regina's own POV, but still letting the world itself breath and grow/branch out. So in short... I guess I am rewriting those now too:") Gosh, I suuure do loooove technology T-T  
          
          Sorry for the totally unnecessary vent, but I just can't believe how crazy getting these next chapters published on here has been.

I need y'all's thoughts on Regina and Bai Qingqing's upcoming interactions...Should they be on friendly terms or should their interactiosn be full of tension and back-and-forth blows? Originally, I was thinking Regina would use Bai for her knowledge, pretending to enjoy the girl's company on a surface level of course, while also keeping a close eye on Bai and the many calamities she will offset in this domino effect. But I also think it'd be fun to have an antagonistic relationship from Bai's side, where she is intimidated/jealous of and by Regina, leaving her to act all snotty and obnoxious both in front of and behind her back. I am definitely open to scenarios and ideas you all might have or want to share. Regina's story isn't static, and it's always evolving and changing, so no addition is really out of the question.

AnnaWolf2001

@3unBun Yeah, I never quite liked her either, but she is undeniably useful as a pawn in the right hands, or paws right? :D Regina is certainly going to have little tolerance for her childishness, but I think she is also just morally grey enough to see too great a potential in Bai to simply ignore her presence in this world. I want to add Bailey the Fox female into the mix too, so seeing lots of catfights in the future lol!

*Sigh* How can sweet gestures be what makes me so weak in the knees and all stupidly giddy, squealing like a crazy fangirl, blushing and kicking my feet like a teenager again...while reading/writing hardcore smut doesn't so much as get little more than the occasional 'Daaamum,' and is almost always read with a straight face lmaoo. I can't be alone in this feeling...right? 
          
          
          Anyways, I hope this next chapter ends up being just as heartmelting for you all as it has been for me. Gosh, I can't believe Spring Break is literally almost over, it feels like it just started...and in the blink of an eye it's already over.

AnnaWolf2001

Side note... Anyone a Bailey  (the vixen) fan? I always found her character and background before meeting & being rescued by Winston fascinating, and I always wished we'd have seen more of her character fleshed out in both the novels and the Manhua. (Hint hint, care to guess whose showing up soon? ;) )

AnnaWolf2001

Oh dear, I ended up being spontaneous and adding some really bittersweet scenes that made me cry again, oof I just can't help torturing myself (& my characters) like this! Y'all better eat up all this hurt and comfort junk, or I might actually have to give up and stop traumatizing everyone, and that would make for one hell of a boring story, I tell ya T-T

AnnaWolf2001

For plot relevance and how the next few chapters flow, I wanted to ask you guys which male's POV you'd like to see the most:   1. Muir     2. Shuu.      3. Eros.     oooor. 4. Keno.      Please let me know your votes asap so I can keep working ahead, and thank you all for the feedback! (Don't worry Winston POV's are already written into it, I just needed some alt POV's that aren't Regina, but still at the core revolve around her & her story).

AnnaWolf2001

@3unBun Great, thank you for the feedback! I had actually intended for Shuu's POV in this upcoming chapter, but ended up moving it ar0und the timeline cause it felt a bit forced, but I am excited to know people would still like to see it!

3unBun

I think Shuu’s would be nice

Good news! Today is my very last final, meaning after this last ASL test, I'll officially be freed from the monotony of classes and homework for almost two weeks! Thank the Beast Gods seriously, because boy do I need the breka haha, meaning I'll finally finally have a chance to post and write more without being a slave to my courses!
