I_died_dead_

@Artful_Becca Happy late new year !! Hope you are doing amazing! We miss you and Aella very much! P.S I was rewatching Full house the other day and immediately thought of Aella while doing Muscles!!

Artful_Becca

@I_died_dead_ ok… thanks for making me cry. I love that Aella saved me and so many people resonate with her and love her as much as I do. 2025 was the year of stress and absolutely no writing while hopefully 2026 will allow me to plan and write xoxo

@Artful_Becca aww!! Just know that whenever Aella returns we will all love her no matter what she does (which is really weird because i don't even love canon characters wholeheartedly but i do love Aella with my whole heart) But I wanna know if her and Bonnie will ever become as close as they once were ? And please don't strain yourself ! We will all love Aella and wait for her return patiently so please don't feel forced or overwhelmed to upload the next season. Thank You so much for making my day better by writing Aella . I owe you!!!

@I_died_dead_ awwww thank you so much! I miss Aella too. Life has been hard as I literally cannot write because too much is going on to get into the headspace of writing such complex things due to all the changes I made in books 1 and 2. This is my own doing which I do NOT regret but it is hard. I wish I could watch Full House - I can only watch clips on YT and TT when I need my cheering up. Thank you for such a lovely message. I hope 2026 is kick a$$ for you and hopefully Aella will be back soon xoxo

@Artful_Becca Will you save some oc characters from dying like you did jenna ? ( I really would like finn and kol to survive if you plan them to )

Artful_Becca

@_no_its_becky_ I LOVE hotd. I am actually 50% through writing a Aemond fanfic which I’m just loving. It’s very AU and so far all I’ve written in 5% hotd storyline and 45% original storyline. However, i am currently renovating my home and my computer has been stored away for a few months which is really eating into my writing time as I cannot write on my iPad. I have too many tabs open. Xoxo

@Artful_Becca do you watch hotd / r u interestd in writing a ff on it
• Balas

Artful_Becca

Potentially. I’m really struggling to write since I made so many changes in the last two books. I like to save characters if they ‘change’ or their deaths didn’t really make sense. Thank you for the message xoxo

I absolutely love your book series. An elemental difference. I like how you have all the characters learning and growing with a bit of a twist. It is truly a fun and interesting story. Finally, a good storyline for Stefan. He's my favorite

Artful_Becca

Thank you so so much. I put so much time and energy into making An Elemental Difference unique. I really appreciate you messaging me xoxo

@foxfiremoon I know right , There are very little Stefan x oc books that are good and most of them just turn into Damon x oc too . I adored the two books by Becca and can't wait for the next one. <3

@Artful_Becca Have you read chasing-lightnings Kol trilogy ? I think you would really enjoy it and I have reread Aellas story like 13 times already xoxo<3

Artful_Becca

Awwww thank you so much! No I have not. I’ve had to take a break from Vampire Diaries fics to focus my brain on planning and writing book 3. I’m really struggling getting time to sit down and just think due to construction work going on a taking on a rescue dog. I appreciate you taking the time to write this message xoxo

Just finished book 2, I literally read the two stories in 2 weeks, I was so so excited everyday to progress more. Your writing is absolutely incredible. What a masterpiece you created! I can’t wait Book 3, the last chapters made me DROP to my knees!

Artful_Becca

Awwww thank you hun. I really hoped that AU ending would cause that effect. Book 3 is still in the early stages. I blame myself for making season 2 so AU that now I’m having to think ahead like 10 steps and it’s so hard. I’m having a little break writing Book 3 and will be publishing some other stories. I’m hoping once I’ve got those stories out of my head, I can then have a clear head to focus on the mammoth task of Book 3 and onwards. I REALLY appreciate you posting this message xoxo

Artful_Becca

@WhispersOfDracarys ok, now you’ve made me cry. Kintsugi is my pain and truth , I needed to get everything I went through off my chest and share with the word so others going through something similar know they are not alone and we can help each other. Reading that it’s helped you heals that broken soul just a little more. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings. I’m always here and Aella is always here for you xoxo

this message may be offensive 
I think I kind of felt liberated reading your story kintsugi , I think I felt less alone seeing how other people top are going through invisible battles ! So i feel very grateful for you sharing even just a little part of your struggle knowing that others too experience tough shit , so thank you bex ! Take care love <3
• Balas

I_died_dead_

Will we get a book three soon ? No pressure though I absolutely love your work ! I stan aella <3

Artful_Becca

Thank you hun :) Book 3 is coming along very slowly. It’s not just about this book and integrating Aella within Season 3 but it’s the changes affecting the other seasons and how I can either merge those seasons earlier or get rid of the storyline completely. It’s SO complicated. However, I want to update often and regularly so readers don’t have to wait months between chapters which what happened with Book 2 and I lost a lot of readers. Right now I do not have a date. Life is also very chaotic which is really eating into my writing/planning time. I don’t think anything will posted in 2025 but hopefully I’ll have something by the new year xoxo

Update re: Game of Thrones series.
          
          I replied to a lovely comment on Violent Delights and thought I’d share an update with the future of this series:
          
          I loved planning and writing this book. However, as I was writing my Vampire Diaries book and noticing how AU I’ve gone on that book too, I’ve realised how freakin’ hard it is to then right further seasons knowing how much was changed and continuing that momentum. Does that makes sense? I have so many ideas for this series, including a rewrite of the first book as I believe my writing has improved and I’d like this book, one of my absolute favourites to write, to reflect that. Knowing all of this, my priority is with my Vampire Diaries story as it was the first fic I ever wrote. I will be taking a break between book 2 and book 3 and then hopefully I can return to this series. I will keep this book published until then.
          
          Xoxo
