Hello author! I was just wondering if you will still be writing in the future? I have no intention to pressure you, I merely want to ask. I am a fan of your stories btw!

Hello! How are you doing? I was wondering if you were willing to write some fantasy stuff? Vampires, Orcs, knights, merman x pirate, angels and demons, Aasimar, etc..
It would be a nice change from the universe Yes, My Alpha is set on! Not that the universe is bad, not at all, it's amazing and I've been having a great time reading all the stories so far! But think about it; the book would be called something like 'Yes, My Alpha: Out of This World' it would be amazing !! More story plots and very different from each other! I would really like to see something like this in the future, I adore your writing and all the couples!

So I've been kind of sitting on this for the last week or so, but I finally got a response back and I'm excited to announce that I will be participating in the Better Nest and Scents Magazine being done with Hazel Writes (das_hazel_creates) with Rainbow Lemon Press as a writer!
My pitch for an article written by Dr. Eden Curtis has been excepted so you guys will get to see an actual article written by her! This is a charity project by the way, the profits for the magazine are going to be going to a charity of each contributor's choice and I chose the Trevor project!
I'll be sure to announce when the magazine is released, but I wanted to announce this very good news to you all! I'm very excited to get the chance to collaborate with other omegaverse creators!

Alright and that's time, the 700 follower poll has ended and we have a clear winner! Not gonna lie was sweating a little bit for a moment because I thought I was going to end up with a tie but things turned out just fine.
But before I get to the winner here are the results:
Lexi and Lola 5 votes
Hadley and Laken 6 votes
Tonya and Malcolm 1 vote
Cecil and Esme 2 votes
Misha and North 4 votes
Fritz and Mars 3 votes
Gatsby and Langley 4 votes
Calvin and Austin 2 votes
Francis and Quinn 3 votes
Claude and Kai 5 votes
August and Dallas 2 votes
Parker, River, and Max 9 votes
Jack and Billie 1 vote
Mickey and Charlie 3 votes
Hayden and Ryder 8 votes
Ollie and Cassie 4 votes
Eddie and Blake 2 votes
Milo and Avery 4 votes
Lucas and Casey 1 vote
Sam and Jessica 7 votes
and finally the winners:
Silas and Reagan have 11 votes
Can't say I'm surprised Silas and Reagan were the closest to winning the last couple of times we've done a poll. It's been interesting to see the level of response I've gotten with running this. I just hadn't done this before because I thought having to go to a different website might be a hassle. But I'd say this was pretty successful. I'd love to find a much more accessible alternative but I like being able to see if the votes are legitimate (even if it's not that serious).
As always I appreciate the support I get from every last one of you. Comments, no comments, votes, or no votes, memberships to the patreon or kofi paid or otherwise. I'm thankful you've taken time out of your day to stop and take a look at my work.
I also want to take a moment to thank you all for being patient with me. This is honestly the largest community I've built around my writing. I'm used to being in my own corner. So to have you all here with me... I'm not always sure what to do. But I am very thankful you're all so kind. It's truly been a joy sharing my work with you. Stay safe. Stay hydrated. ---b7

Forgot to add this in but yes I did add in the wattpad votes to the poll results! Don't worry your votes counted!
And before I forget I'm going to give a week or two before I run the 800 follower poll, seeing as we're so close to 900. (Not nervous about the continuing rising number at all ha-ha.) Hopefully it won't take as long as Hubert and Sloane's piece. I'll be sure to post progress pictures on patreon and later everywhere else regardless.
Oh and one last thing, I made a small comic strip?? 3 panel thing?? It was held for members for like a week, but it's available for everyone's eyeballs now on patreon and-- And the current world map has unlocked for everyone as well.
I've been working on it off and on trying to figure out names and researching. It's kind been interesting to think about the political implications behind everything. I'll eventually be doing a map for the states and the Empire specifically so I can point to all the locations we've been to so far. But that's for the future.
Just wanted to get those last tidbits out there!

Only a few hours left on the 700 follower poll! Currently Reagan and Silas are winning at 10 votes. For a while we were standing at a tie with Hayden and Ryder with Max, Parker, and River.
I'll be sure to announce the winners and the results once the poll closes.
In the mean time as per request, I've started putting together a world map. link: https://bsky.app/profile/bottle7.bsky.social/post/3lv2zq5iclk2m
It's currently set as locked for members but will become public after a couple days.
Yes I realized I forgot the Eastern Kingdom. I'll be sure to add them in once I do a new update. Eventually I'd like to have the whole thing filled out.

Hi bottle I really love your books, as someone who's always been looking for ABO with the woman being at the center. Am quite literally obsessed with ur books. And to be fair you've slowly inspired me to start plotting to write down my ideas.
Anyways I js hoping to ask any tips and struggles you've gone through when you where beginner. And how you improved your writing along the years.
Ty for coming to my Ted talk

Omg thank you so so much, I didn't expect a through breakdown but I literally Copy pasted this into my notes . To be honest I don't think of writing for sense of being popular (though I really wished this was as popular as bl) I found myself as someone who wasn't really appealed by the tropes in a heterosexual relationship (as a straight woman) because I didn't find the dynamic interesting for years. And when I ever did read bl (danmei, manga/manwha or even random novels) I'd just end up self-projecting on the mc or the seme. So finding this type of genre when the fl can be just as assertive, attractive as aswell, as inserting into the man . Was defiantly a gold mine I've been looking for years. And while reading your books it just kept ticking all my boxes.
So it's more of a yearning to finding "my pople" to know that I wasn't weird or odd for not finding other typical popular tropes as interesting, though after searching I've found some here and there in Ao3t hat are slowlsy begining to rise. So I guess am slowly building my collection.
I just want to say thank you so much for your time to write this down, and I hope if a book does come you might the first to read it.

7.) Keep the work you don't publish. Keep the ideas that you don't know how to complete at the moment. Eventually you're going to run into a spot where you're exhausted mentally but want to write regardless, having something to work off of rather than working off of nothing can be helpful and who knows maybe your second attempt at the story will solve a problem you ran into.
I'm a bit of a data hoarder... I'll admit to that much. But it's helpful to have something to go back and read up on. I still have the original lay out of the first book in the series that I go back and read the summaries for.
How i had that laid out was I came up with a title and I used short hand like mc or ml to describe the situation before going back and giving them names. Since you mentioned you were in the outline phase this might be helpful. Just take a few days and run through every single idea you can think of before selecting your favorites. Try to summarize the start of the story to the end, that way you have an idea of what you want to do with the story.
Keep it short and sweet and don't worry about spelling and grammar. It's just for you and-- let's be honest you're still going to have issues with that once you hit publish anyway lol. Don't worry it happens to everyone.
Anyway that's my top 7 tips for being an online writer! Will you be successful? Idk. Depends on what you call success. But will you have fun? Well I certainly am. That's why I keep doing this. Enjoy yourself above all else. Cause at the end of the day the only person that you really need to like your story is you.
Hope this helps and good luck!

5.) Don't save on wattpad. Do not save your work only on wattpad. I repeat do not save your work only on wattpad.
Start a patreon, cross post to AO3, get an inkitt, anything literally anything else and work on your stuff there before posting to wattpad. Always, always, always, keep copies. and save often.
The number one issue I see with wattpad is other writers losing their work. Their account gets randomly banned, there's some glitch with the site, and a thousand other problems. If you can get something that has a cloud that will keep copies of your work. I've literally lost entire stories because of technical issues.
6.) Set clear boundaries and keep them. As you grow you're going to get more people reading your stories. It sounds great but it's not always very great. You're going to get some odd balls out of the wood work and you're not always going to match their freak. Especially if your work leans more towards smut like mine.
I've had people trying to get my email address so we can talk about my explicit scenes together. (The message sounded like they wanted to do back and forth dirty talk which-- okay there's sites for that. Idk what you're expecting out of someone with a literal water bottle as their pfp.) I've had people complain about how long i take to update, and I've had people be straight up rude to me.
The block button is your friend. Do not be afraid to use it. and if someone comes back again after you block them. Block them again. If it costs you your peace it's too expensive.
I also have set rules regardless of what site I'm on because of the nature of my work. I don't respond to private messages. I've only broke this rule once because someone was very nice and sent me fan art. The conversation didn't veer off into strange territory and ended well. Other than that, I will not do it. I don't know how old you all are and if there's anything to be said, it can be said where everyone else can see it.

So I've decided to open up the poll for the 700 follower couple's picture. Something a bit different this time, I've opened a actual poll on my patreon link is available through bsky: https://bsky.app/profile/bottle7.bsky.social/post/3ltiiblndkc2l Don't worry if you don't have access to patreon due to no account or geolocking, leaving comments here will still as always count as votes! Remember multiple choices are allowed, it doesn't have to be the main characters, and the only ones that are out of the running are as follows: Harriet and Thomas, Taylor and Cameron, Beau and Logan, Sloane and Hubert, Paula and Carter, Ellis and Beatrix, and Liam and Darcy Again those couples are not allowed because they have been picked previously. Anyway I know I say this alot but as always I do appreciate your guys' support. I've been working on the next updates for High Seas and Mother of an Empire. Last count for part 19 of High Seas was over 5k, I think we're going to settle in somewhere about 15k possibly even 20k if I go back over everything. Anyway all that is to say thanks so much for sticking with me all this time, whether you're a regular commenter, whether you just favorite and never comment, or you do none of the above and simply read. Your time is appreciated and I am glad that you've taken time out of your day to read my work. I truly hope that my work brings even a fraction of the joy to you that it's brought to me bringing it to life!

It's done! It's done! Hubert and Sloane's couple's art is finally finished! It took a long time but I'm done! It's posted on my Patreon and Kofi pages right now! Wattpad isn't allowing me to use links in my announcements so I'll try to drop some links down below in the comments
I'm so happy that this is finally finished! Of course we have a lot of work to do still, finishing up their story and moving on to the 700 and 800 follower couples polls. (Don't think I forgot cause I didn't!)
Thank you all so much for your support and patience! I'm off to go continue my work on the next part of High Seas and Mother of an Empire's upcoming chapter. If you want to have more up to date status on what I'm doing drop by my bsky: https://bsky.app/profile/bottle7.bsky.social
I post there whenever I upload a new chapter or I leave updates about what I'm working on. Wattpad limits announcements to 3 per day and notifications sometimes don't always go through.
Anyway I do plan on opening up the 700 follower couple's poll soon. I just want to get a couple more chapters posted before I do. Again and I can't say it enough thank you guys so much for your support and patience. It has been a pleasure being able to write these stories and see everyone enjoy them.

@Pilaknapatatas interestingly enough I’ve always imagined the previous captain as being blond. Regardless the artwork is basically my personal interpretation on what they look like. Outside of Ophelia and Darius’s story none of my characters really have a canon design so if you still feel like she’s blonde she may very well be.
Bottle7
Wow okay so Wattpad doesn't allow links at all in the comments either. I've tried three or four times. The only thing I can really suggest at this point is visit the link tree listed in my bio or use my bsky link because apparently that's white listed I guess
