          	ITS FINALLY READYYY!!
          	
          	The discord server is finally up! I’ve linked the invite to join under my account here on wattpad, so if you’re interested in joining it’s be posted!! (The link is under my 'About' on my main page. You have to hit 'more' on my description to see it).
          	
          	Not only will there be a post-ping channel for when I update the story, but there will also be places to share your art, memes, ask questions, and more! I’ll be hosting contests and stuff there too eventually, which I’m very excited for :)
          	
          	Just a quick forewarning, not everything is finished, or ‘finely polished’ – there are still a few kinks I need to work out and add to really perfect everything the way I want it to be… Small stuff, of course, or else I wouldn’t be opening it up to everyone LOL
          	
          	I'll probably mention this in next chapter for those who don't follow me, so for a while it'll be a lil empty LOL but either way it'll be fun! 
          	
          	Hope to see everyone there!! Can't wait <333

YO YO POOKS, (≡^∇^≡) Alright, so I was rereading chapter 25, and I have to say—something about the MC’s actions in this part really caught my attention. Σ(゜゜) Like, I don’t know if you did this on purpose or if my brain just decided to latch onto it, but it was strange. And not just a little strange—like, genuinely “what am I even reading right now??? (•.•)” kind of strange. But what really gets me is how Luffy reacts to it. I mean, I know he’s unpredictable, but this? ( ☉д⊙) This was a whole new level of weird. It stood out so much, especially considering how intense the situation is (●・ч・)??There’s this big, crucial moment happening, a serious fight unfolding, and yet here we are, witnessing this baffling interaction that just doesn’t sit right with me. w( ̄△ ̄;)w!  
          
          I keep thinking about it because, honestly, it feels so uncharacteristic for Luffy. (´⌒`;) Maybe I’m missing something, or maybe you’re setting something up for later, but I had to stop and process what I just read because… huh?? ι(´Д`υ) It’s like my brain short-circuited trying to make sense of it (ノ_-;)… And the more I think about it, the weirder it gets.  (๑°ㅁ°๑)‼
          
          Anyway, if you actually read all of this, congrats—I just successfully wasted your time. (≧∇≦)/ Hope you have a great day, stay safe, and whatever you do, please do not spontaneously combust.  (〃∀〃)ゞ
          
          xoxo, Lilth.

Hey sorry to bother you but I’m really curious and I totally just remembered thriller bark and how they got there shadows stolen. So I was wondering if that would have effects on soulmates in your story? Like brook described the shadows as someone soul so would it affect the bond? If so would it be like if one gets taken both do or would they instead be tied to the zombies?

fluffypuff254

@OliveTheOliveTree i dont think that would happen even tho moria takes luffys shadow and puts it in oars he still acted like luffy even wen zombie luffy attacked his crew zombie luffy still had his personality so i think it would be like the gorilla and the human senorio if ykyk 
            Where zombie luffy takes yn hostage and refuses to give her up??

DrgnGutz

@OliveTheOliveTree Yes it will effect their soulmate bond in certain ways. Nothing super drastic, but it will be interesting to play with. I have a few ideas in mind that I haven't quite chosen yet ;)

OliveTheOliveTree

@fluffypuff254 yeah I was thinking like maybe the zombie Luffy is protective of y/n or like Luffy suddenly just can’t feel the bond anymore

HEO HEO POOKS, how are you doinggg?? I hope you're doing splendid my dearest. (๑˃̵ ᴗ ˂̵)و
          
          Girl.. I know this isn't important at ALL. and you could very much live your life without knowing this, ヾ(^-^;)ノ
          
          buut I recently got into into a car accident (I'm doing completely fine now as I've healed ˙˚ʚ(´◡`)ɞ˚˙) the first thing I've read was your newest chapter (dropped the day I dropped) and truth be told, I don't remember SHIT from what I've read (TヘTo) くぅ
          
          I remember my big brother explaining over and over again a single sentence slowly while I "Ha (°ロ°) ??? " him. 
          
          I just wanna thank you for your splendid work and how you always feed us, your babies, very well with various long chapters. ˚‧º·(˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥ )‧º·˚ <3
          
          You might not realize it, but your chapters actually help a lot of us get through various hard times, some of us who relate strangely to Y/N, or just unaware degenerates who got in a car accident. (ˊ˘ˋ*)
          
          I apologize for wasting your time with this stupid long ahh message, :-! But know that a lot of us are sending you love from various places. ,★⌒ヽ(●^、^●)!

@DrgnGutz I was reading the fanfic slowly because I'm a hoe who likes to persevere her fics 
            But I noticed you were actually updating it on a somewhat regular basis. I spent the last few days catching up. Your writing is so good I started crying in the luffy pov angst chapter. Please don't stop this fic I'll sob

Hi! I have another question about your coast series are you going to include the oceans dream arc? The one where everyone forgets the crew except Robin, It’s filler so I wouldn’t expect you to include it but I thought it would be a cute bonding experience for the mc and Luffy  anyway love your book I think it’s so cute and adorable! never been the one to get invested in this stuff but this book is too good ‍♀️

A_Random_Writer_2342

@Rhaehates_you OMG wait this arc hurt me physically and emotionally help. But it would be rlly interesting to include it
Reply

DrgnGutz

Omg literally have been debating this one recently because it’s coming up after foxy pirates and I didn’t even realize!! Yes I’d like to include it, cus I agree that it would be a cute bonding experience that I could explore :)) maybe just a one or two chapter thing for the sake of time but yes yes it will be included!! I’m glad you’re still enjoying ❤️❤️❤️

Rhaehates_you

Hey! I love you coast siries it’s so awesome and every time you update it cheers me up! I have a question tho, would Y/n be vice captain if Luffy isn’t there? Or is Zoro still vice captain? Just curious. love your writing!

@DrgnGutz that makes a lot of sense tbh

I couldn't help but mention how much I admire your story, Coast. Your stories have incredible depth, and each chapter is filled with emotions that keep me hooked from beginning to end. You can feel all the care and dedication you put into every detail of the fic. It's inspiring to follow an author who can transform words into something so impactful. I'm a huge fan of yours! Thank you for creating something as spectacular as this story. I'm loving following each update of yours <3333 Thanks for everthing!!!

DrgnGutz

gonna make me cry fr ;-; this is so sweet of you to say, I really appreciate your kind words and I’m glad you enjoy the story ❤️❤️❤️ 
            
            It always makes me insanely happy when people notice the effort I try to put into my story telling, but to be inspiring is a whole new level entirely. Thank you so so much!! ❤️❤️❤️

I'm about ten pages into chapter 30 of Coast so far, trying to chip away at it every day but getting back into the flow of writing and all that is taking longer than I expected. 
          
          Rest assured though, the next chapter is getting worked on!! Excited to eventually post it. Once Navarone is finished up I'll be doing a bit of filler to work on connections and relationships with the crew and the reader. I've got a bunch of chapters already fleshed out for it :))
          
          As always, thanks for your patience everyone! I'll try to post soon <3

@LolaLafy typically my process is to have a few outlined in advance with rough notes, then I go in with more details and fill in the blanks, and then go through for one final edit of the whole chapter where it goes through a lot of tweaks and changes. So far I’m on page 30 ;))
