Hello!
Important question!
Does anyone remember @TatjanaMoris and her story
"One View - One Word and I will never forget you"
from this years ONC?
She seems to have disappeared and I have a concern (which I won't share here yet, I want the person in question to explain herself first, don't want to point fingers at someone without proof).
Please, if you know something, ANYTHING, let me know!
I sadly wasn't able to finish her story (my fault), and I wasn't active here in a long time, but I'm really sad that she's gone...
Thank you! And be careful with your stories!

Hello!
Sadly my story didn't make it on the shortlist of the Pride Awards, but at least I tried. ^^"
Maybe next year. xD
C_the_Dreamer
@WarriorCat457 Thank you <3 I'm not so sure about that but I'll definitely try again xD
C_the_Dreamer
Morning!
Only a few minutes after I fell asleep, the ONC longlist finally came out!
My goal was to make it this far, since last year I didn't make it on the longlist.
Turns out I didn't make it this year either. ^^"
But hey, "Touch Me, Mark Me" was only supossed to be my back-up story and never make it this far, it was just that "Playing Cupid" expanded too much to finish it on time. x'D
Huge Congratulations to @_marmoris_ and @DinaSander, who's stories made it onto the longlist!
I wish you luck for the shortlist too! <3
Only 244 from 347 submitted stories made it further, that means 103 stories were cut, mine being one of them. ^^
I'm sad, but not so frustrated and thinking "what's wrong with my story". I know I could have made more out of it if I concentrated more on it, but I didn't 100% fulfill the prompt either, so it makes sense why I didn't make it. x'D
Let's move on to the Wattys!
On 15th July the submitions open and only when your story is eligible a submission banner pops up in your story details!
My main focus will be on "Playing Cupid" to finish it until then.
But I also want to work on my fantasy story from last year "the Familiars of the Lost Witch"!
So now I have a few questions for you:
1.Should I make a new book for The Familiars or should I make the changes in the current one?
2. Could someone make me covers for these two stories? (I will ask specific people later)
3. Would someone like to beta-read one of the stories?
Thank you all so much for supporting me! It means a lot to me! <3
Every reader, every comment is important, brings a smile to my face and helps me keep going!
I wouldn't be here right now without you. ^-^
Now I just have to wait if my WSC story made it to the next round. Let's hope. xD
C_the_Dreamer
@WarriorCat457 Still, I didn't make it further than last year, but that's ok. I am proud of what I did write and want to try for the Wattys now. ;D 1. I've decided to make a new book for the one story and just keep on writing the other ^^ 2. You still could, but yeah, I do need a somewhat professionell cover for this. xD 3. Nice. ^^ Haha, yes, but I did it xD
WarriorCat457
@C_the_Dreamer Even if you didn’t make it further, you still got very far and you can be extremely proud of yourself! ^^ 1. I think you have to decide that. Are you more happy if you start it again or if you take changes? :3 2. I would, but I‘m not good enough or have enough practice to do that xDDDD. Other people will do definitely better *-* 3. Of course! :D This damn drumroll… O.o
C_the_Dreamer
@DinaSander Yes, two books, "unedited original version" and a "new edited and changed version", maybe I'll change the title too. So everyone can still comment and read the old version, telling me what I should change or keep (I just like hearing other opinions) while I write on the new version before I upload it. That's what I thought at least. xD Theoretically yes, you could do that, you're just not allowed to edit the story you submitted. They even encouraged us to edit and keep writing our story in another document for the Wattys. I just don't know how that works with publishing, maybe ask? But it shouldn't really be an issue, I think. ^^"
C_the_Dreamer
Please, when I go to sleep now and wake up again, the longlist will be out...
I'm strangely not as nervous now as I was yesterday (maybe I'm just too tired), but I still really want to know the results... x'D
So good night and good luck!
C_the_Dreamer
@DinaSander I stayed up a little longer, talking with my parents and watching TV, but going to sleep now. ^^" Thank you <3
C_the_Dreamer
Ah, I'm so nervous and excited for the final ONC results!
I really hope my story made it further! >~<
Today we should find out, tomorrow at the latest, there are only a few more stories to judge, as the ONC profile anounced...
Who feels the same way as me? x'D
Good luck to all who finished and submitted their stories! <3

What book are you reading right now?
What do you plan to read next?
C you! <3
C_the_Dreamer
@WarriorCat457 Uh, nice! I know these books, but haven't read them, but Lightlark is on my reading list. ^^
WarriorCat457
@C_the_Dreamer Very cool! :D I‘m currently reading Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas. Next in line is Nightbane from Alex Aster. The first Book (Lightlark) was so good, I had to buy the next part right away XD
C_the_Dreamer
We are going to bury Nero now next to our dog that died a few years ago.
We have a place for them to sleep eternally, our own little graveyard for out beloved animals. <3
Rest in Peace :')
C_the_Dreamer
Very sad news:
Today my cat Nero died peacefully. :'/
I'll always remember him as the great warrior he was!
Even though he couldn't win this fight, he tried his best. <3

Hello!
1. I'm participating at the Pride Awards with my story "Touch Me, Mark Me" and it got accepted! ;D
You can still enter until the 15th May through the Form linked in their bio (you have to copy paste the link). ^^
2. My cat Nero is still sick, but it's a little bit better. He's a figher. :'D
Updates are posted on my german account, but you can ask here how he is and I will answer. ^^
Thank you to all of you who read my stories and support me. <3

C_the_Dreamer
@DinaSander You can fill out the form and clarify these things there (it asks how long the story is and how the representation is) and you'll see if your story is accepted or not. You have nothing to loose by trying. ^^
C_the_Dreamer
@DinaSander Yeah, I thought about that too, but it doesn't say you can't create a world were being gay is normal. That's a positive thing, I think, and it's still representation. ^^" I don't know because of the writing, but they do accept ongoing stories, so I don't think that should be an issue.
