Wow, it's been a while since I've done one of these.
          
          First and foremost, if you're seeing this, hiiiiii! I hope you're doing well. 
          
          So I made a boo boo with Out Of The Blue. I accidentally posted chapters 74 and 75 and didn't post 73. I thought I did. If there was any confusion reading those chapters, that's probably why. 
          
          I have been MIA in wattpad for a while. A lot has happened this year personally and my motivation for writing tanked. I have been reading a lot of the comments on Out Of The Blue and I promise I'm gonna try to keep it going. First and foremost, I need to refamiliarize myself with the material; i.e., reread the books, rewatch the movie, and finally read my own work. I've taken such a long sabbatical that I've forgotten what's happened in my own story. 
          
          While I was gone, I noticed a few things. Out Of The Blue has over 30k views and almost 1k votes. That's insane to me! The rankings are also blowing my mind. Thank you all so much for keeping it alive. Thank you all for reading my story. Thank you for every read, every vote, and every single comment. I read all of them and try to reply to most. I deeply appreciate it. Simon and Bram's story would be much shorter without the inspiration and boost your comments give me. 
          
          I promise new chapters are coming. It might take some time. I'm about to start my senior year of college getting 2 degrees and being involved in some groups on campus, plus work and home life. I am going to try to get back to my "chapter a week" schedule, but it may take a while. 
          
          Okay I think that's it. I think it's time to open my labtop and get to work. 
          
          

this is random but i really enjoy your writing! ive started reading your svthsa book and haven’t been able to stop. you deserve so much more recognition and im so glad to have finally found a lengthy and realistic story that stays true to the book and movie ^^

I’m astonished that you only have 78 (counting me) followers on this app though you have amazing writing. I do hope you keep writing in the future, it’s amazing what people can do when they push through, I’m also happy to see other ‘Love, Simon’ people, the movie and book had changed my life as well though I do not know what to do with the change quite yet I’m happy to see I’m not alone. 
          
          Granting you my respect and hope for your wellbeing

A couple of points I'd like to make
          
          Some of you may have noticed I started posting 5 chapters on Sundays. I did the math at the beginning of summer and realized that I had written a lot of chapters and I was posting slowly, so I decided to up my posting to compete with that. I hope that works for you all.
          
          Out Of The Blue has gotten 6.3k reads as to date, which is really amazing. I'm not one to pride myself on how many reads or votes my stories have, but I am really glad people are reading and I want to thank you all, especially my readers who have been reading for a long time and keep coming back.
          
          I would like to apologize for the short chapters or the 'filler' chapters lately. While I don't wrote fillers that often, I do write some weird chapters that play in later, so read carefully. The short chapters are short for a reason as well, that reason just so happens to be that I either didn't plan that chapter, it didn't have/need a lot of depth, or I was excited to write the next one and didn't put in a lot of effort or time. Sorry, but the coming chapters get better, at least in my opinion. 
          
          Earlier I completely revamped my organizer for the story, which holds all my story ideas, timeline, details, character information, and my chapter by chapter layout. While redoing all of this, I remade the entire chapter by chapter section, adding in new ideas and plotlines. As of right now, I have 150 chapters planned, and it isn't anywhere near the end yet. I had only planned on this story being 100 chapters at max ,but it seems that my ambition is only matched by my endless supply of random ideas. I hope you all stick around, because I'll probably still be posting on this story this time next year at this rate. I may end up splitting it into a second story, so let me know what you think about that.
          
          I'll see you all next Sunday for the next update! Happy reading! 

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!
          
          In order to celebrate, I have posted the next two chapters to Out Of The Blue, which just so happen to revolve around pride. I hope you all enjoy them!
          
          
          (Sunday will still have it's regular double update)

Out Of The Blue is going extremely well in the writing aspect. I have 22 chapters completed and ready to upload. I'm currently writing about 3 parts a week, which is pretty good for me. 
          
          This means that I will be posting 2 chapters every Sunday, or as soon as possible from Sunday. 
          
          This story is going to be extemely long, possibly 50+, since it goes beyond high school and catches up to current time. If you read the book, you know that the story takes place in 2014-2015, so I have 3 years to write. As for if I will continue the story past 2018, I am not entirely sure. Becky has stated that Leah On The Offbeat is the last Creekwood book, so there is a wide range of possibilities I can use that aren't blocked by cannon content. It will come down to how much I have and how many ideas I have for them in the future. I would say by chapter 50, I should be around their second year of college. The plot of the story is thickening, but the story is moving quickly. Brew some tea and get comfortable, a lot of drama will unfold before it's over. 

So, I did a triple update for Out Of The Blue for 3 reasons
          
          1. I wanted it to be even
          2. Chapter 10 is really cute and I didn't want to wait to post it
          3. It helps me know exactly where I am with posting vs. what I have written (10 posted vs. 22 written) 
          
          So, you're welcome, I guess.
          
          I also want to address the facts that up to around chapter 15 was written before Leah On The Offbeat was released and I read it, so some of my plot is different. Out Of The Blue is 100% cannon compliant with Simon Vs. The Homosapiens Agenda, but will differ from Leah On The Offbeat slightly, especially towards the end of LOTO. I have a whole timeline written out, and despite altering it to be LOTO cannon compliant as well, not all changes could be made because of future plot points that have already been written and/or published. 
          
          
          Please enjoy the new chapters and leave me feedback!
          I accept criticism (as long as it is constructive and not rude) and corrections, so if there are grammatical errors or cannon compliant issues, comment or message me and I'll try to fix it! 

Crumble was supposed to be done by December 32st, but that was not the case. Ive written everything up to the finale, which will be done before i go to sleep tonight. It will be uploaded wednesday and COMPLETED then as well. 

okay so there's some things I need to talk about. 
          
          1. crumble did not finish in 2015, but will be finished by February.
          
          2. chapter 10 is having some issues with repeating chapter 9, that will be fixed with the actual chapter asap.
          
          3. crumble will be my last story on here. I'll be graduating in may and I'm going to stop writing by February. I'm sorry for those who like my work, but I have to focus on graduating and then there's a whole other mess called college. 
          
          

UPDATE:
          
          NEW! 
          
          Crumble (Destiel AU) will be going up in December! The supernatural story I like to pretend everyone has been waiting for is only two weeks away! 
          
          UPLOADING SCHEDULE:
          
          Crumble will have no other story being updated while its here, so I !plan! to do double updates every Wednesday before the supernatural episodes. the schedule may vary depending on if I watch the episode with my wayward sons or if we have to push if off a little. to suffice for the lack that week, there would be a quadruple update the next week. Crumble will be complete before 2016, so updates will go very fast. 
          
          COVER ART NEEDED
          
          If you or anyone you know can make a badass cover for Crumble, message me and let me know so I can have that by December 2nd! Any contributions will be added to chapters and your page (Wattpad, twitter, Instagram, tumblr, etc) will be shouted out. Just send them to me and I'll definitely add them to the chapters!
          
          
          °Thank you all so much for bearing with me for the last 6 months of *not* writing this. By that I mean I literally stared writing this in the end of September and I'm actually proud of that. I won't disappoint you! Hopefully.
