I have some exciting and terrifying news to share with you all. You may have noticed me stepping back from posting lately, and I’m finally ready to share my news with everyone…I’ve decided to try my hand at writing original novels! If you like what I’m writing with my fan fiction at all, I think you’ll really like what I have in store. The stories I’m still drawn to writing are stories about magic, fantasy, sci-fi, and dystopian with lots of world-building and many plot twists. I sincerely hope you’ll support me on this journey, because doing this is one of the scariest things I’ve ever done. It’s easy to post anonymously on fanfic sites, knowing you’ll get a few kudos or comments. It’s scarier putting my work to the real test. 
          	
          	I’ve set up a Tiktok account (@alkbrada) as well as an Instagram (@ALK_Brada) where you can follow updates for the stories. Right now, I have a book trailer up for a few of the things I’m working on, but will be adding much more soon! I’ll be taking you through everything; from early writing stages, editing, sending out queries to publishers, and maybe one day getting my work in print! I’ll also be looking for ARC readers eventually and would love nothing more than to give some of my most faithful readers the opportunity to get some first peeks!
          	
          	If you follow me on either my Instagram or my Tiktok, and drop me a message to let me know which story(s) you’re coming from, I will be in need of about 20 original background characters for a story. If you’d like a chance to make a character, let me know and in about three weeks I’ll be reaching out to people to help! 
          	
          	What does this mean for my fics? Well, I love fan fiction, and even if I’m a published author, that won’t change a thing. Updates may be more sporadic, but I don’t think there’s anything in the world that could stop me from updating :)  
          	
          	It would mean the world to me for a follow, or even a comment or a like on my first posts, so thank you in advance!

This is so exciting! I’ve been a huge fan for a while now. Never missing an update to your Zutara/Selection Series. Can’t wait to see what you put out there in the world of publishing.

How do you get a beta? I want to write my first AU and I need some help getting on my feet. Please help.

@LittleBugGirl233 I would set up a Fanfiction account, because they have a dedicated Beta area where it's safe to exchange emails or documents

But how do I give them my e-mail if the site isn't secure? I'm sorry if I'm annoying you, I am just kinda confused and wanted to ask the most seasoned writer I know of at the moment. (ur just really good and have it all figured out when it comes to this)

@LittleBugGirl233 I would not personally suggest communicating via Wattpad; I never have and likely wouldn't. Depends how comfortable you both are with each other. My beta and I are friends so we message through text and insta, but if you feel a bit unsure, I'd either sign up for Fanfiction  (which has a great messenger service and a perfect way to send unedited drafts) or just send emails.

Both my Beta and I have had busy weeks, so we're pushing back the next chapter of The Fire Throne to next week! Come back then :) Sorry for the delay!

@71930sa  My beta hasn't sent the latest chapter over yet, so we'll see
