I am once again terribly late to the party.
          	
          	I've been looking forward to The Ever-Generating Story Awards (TEGSA) since I learned about it last year, and I'm beyond happy to have an entry ready in the nick of time.
          	
          	There's a little over two days left until the first round of the contest closes, so if you're quick, you can still enter! And even if you're not thinking of joining, feel free to take a look at the amazing participating stories listed in the contest book!

Hi! Lizzie here, with some updates.
          
          I’ve been struggling with severe burnout from my day job over the past few months, so I had to put pretty much everything on hold while I worked on getting better. But now I’m back again! Well, mostly.
          
          You might have noticed that I unpublished my unfinished ONC entries from this year. I’m planning to work on them offline and publish them again once I have a completed draft, so we can all be sure that there will be a stable update schedule and a reliable end to each story.
          
          My priority for now is Starlight for the Crown, the prequel to A Spell Too Sweet, which follows Laura’s aunt and uncle in their youth as they struggle with love, life, and the seemingly impossible quest for a legendary magical artifact.
          
          I hope I’ll be back with news of it before long. Until then, good words and good health to you all!

Not one but two? Damn girl

@karinberry My goal for this year was to complete two entries, but I got so swamped with work that I didn't get to write much... until this night. 80% of what's available in those first chapters was written in the last 18 hours 
            
            But now I'm finally free to relax and catch up with my reading. Expect to see me in your comments  (after I sleep a little)

Hi! Thanks for the vote XD are you joining ONC this year? Please tell me yesssss

LizzieAuburn

@karinberry I am! My favorite joke is telling people that I was born last century in Transylvania (which is all very true) and wait for them to call me a vampire. I'm sadly not a vampire, but if you ever need help with anything related to Romania, I'm very available :D

@karinberry Hiii, I was going to comment, too, but got distracted with work :))) I'm so excited to read your story! I love a good vampire story, and the guy's name just jumped out to me (I have soooo many people named Nicolae in my family; none are vampires, as far as I know XD)
            
            Yesss, I'm definitely joining the ONC, too! I was planning to try for two entries this year, but with how my outlining is going so far, I might have to stop at just one XD

The ONC is finally over, and we got to see the amazing winners! A Spell Too Sweet was not among them, but it did make it to the shortlist, and I am beyond happy with that. 
          
          Now, I did promise I'd update with the edits as soon as the results were out, but I got so busy with life that I didn't even have time to read (or draw, hence why I only have graphics prepared for a third of the chapters ) But hey, later is better than never, and today is that day. I'm sorry in advance if the mass updates are going to trigger a lot of notifications, but I just want to get it all done in one swoop and have the cleaned-up version available already.
          
          I hope to be out of this busy period soon and get back to reading your lovely stories, and also start writing properly again.

@LizzieAuburn A Spell Too Sweet was recommended to me in *absolutely* glowing terms, and I've had it in my library ever since. I hope to start reading it in the coming few weeks for sure. So, very happy to hear that mass updates are in store! Look forward to seeing you around. ❤️

My name is MadisonCiabattari and I love reading A Spell Too Sweet. You chose a beautiful cover for your story and I wrote a fantasy book called Naima and I would appreciate if you would read it and I also love your profile.

@MadisonCiabattari Hi Madison! I'm glad you enjoyed A Spell Too Sweet, and thank you for adding it to your reading list. 
            
            I'm happy to meet a new fantasy writer, and Naima looks to be just my kind of ideal read!  I promise I'll check it out as soon as I get a little free time (probably during the weekend).
