Huge congratulations to everyone who's made it to the Open Novella Contest longlist‼️ You all are shining stars, including those who aren't on the list! Unfortunately, Lysandre didn't make it to the Longlist, which I'm a little heartbroken </3 I kinda wish we could get a little insight of improvements or where we went wrong but regardless I'm still happy with the way my story turned out! Although I gave it my all and created a standalone/spinoff of RHAZIEN, which became Dark fantasy/ physiological thriller. I honestly enjoyed writing it from start to finish, and I've decided I want to expand it more, put more detail where I couldn't to make sure it was within the word count at the time. To be all honest, I'm not sure if media was accounted for in word count because mine of each page adds 20 words more each page, which would of looked like I went over by 300, despite counting it before each banner. Idk that may have not even been it. But I've also decided I want to publish LYSANDRE alongside RHAZIEN as a physical copy one day in the near future. I am beyond grateful to enter this year and earn 2 ROUND WINNERS, which to the stars and back. I am beyond speechless and thankful! I was considering the WATTYS for it, but knowing there's a voting feature this year kinda intimidated me a bit, lol. I'm slowly getting back into writing more of Lysandre and some fanfics in my drafts, but seeing it not in the Longlist still kinda stings. Thank you to everyone who supported me and my entry: LYSANDRE this year! You all are truly treasures! Again, huge congratulations to everyone who made it! I will be cheering you all on‼️

@QuinceArchFortes Aww Quince, you are a winner in my eyes, and I am beyond happy to see your name in the Longlist! It's honestly so well deserved, my friend ❤️ And I'm wishing you the best of luck in the rest of the contest, and I'll be cheering you on <3 Each year has been relatively different for me, my first I made it to only round 3, my second year I made it to the shortlist, my third I got a honorable mention and an Ambassador's pick, this year, two round winners and only made it to the 3rd round. But what I'm happy about each year is to write another story I thought I'd never write and succeed in the challenge. And there is no doubt you created a glitter bomb of an entry! I loved writing each entry, especially Lysandre and Rhazien <3 I'm going to be working hard to see them both hit the shelves one day ❤️ Sending you a basket of shamrocks, my friend! Good luck!❤️

@hxllsing I deeply appreciate your kind words! It honestly made my day and made me a little teary 。゚(゚´Д`゚)゚。❤️ Thank you so much! It took me a bit to pull myself together, and I am deeply moved to know such a wonderful individual such as yourself! : ) To hear such kind words from someone like yourself, I truly treasure. I'll be working hard on Lysandre and Rhazien to see them both published one day :3
