Good news! 
          	The new Comforting Sounds Series is up on my page. 
          	Starting again from chapter 1, from the first book.
          	
          	The first book is called "The Facilitator."
          	
          	I may have said on my last announcement that I wouldn't archive or remove the original version. 
          	But since it could mix up and confuse some new readers. 
          	So, I decided to remove them to archive. 
          	
          	Hope you enjoy the new version and can meet Karla Atkins again in her own lense. 
          	
          	Regards,
          	Lost Star Alien

          Hi everyone! 
          
          It's been a while since I last posted or updated about Karla Atkins x Severus Snape fanfiction. 
          
          I'm sorry that I stopped updating in the past 3 years. I dunno know why… but I just did. 
          The outline’s finished, but I wasn’t satisfied with my writing style. I experienced difficulties in crafting the prose--haha!
          
          I experienced dilemmas: how to translate what’s in my imagination to text, which writing style should I be using, and what do I want exactly—Haha!
          
          Other than that, Karla’s story was initially meant to finish in a single book. Yet I can’t stop. So, around 2022-2023, I continued, following her voice. Ended with an outline of 2 more books leading to Deathly Hallows. 
          
          But then… I learnt that the first book needs a lot of fixing with how the story went.
          Ever since, I have never forgotten about her, until now. 
          Although I stopped writing the prose, I kept on taking notes, alternate universes, listed out the background story--turned out she was more than how I first knew her.
          
          Within the past 3-5 years, I wrote a song about our meeting, about how I knew her. Released it in 2022 in my music project Ghandiee_, and Karla’s Song had been the one that resonates with people, including friends who never read about Karla. 
          
          I don't know why she clings to me.
          I wrote short stories and other long forms, film script drafts, etc, but they were all fragments of her story that I converted into original work. 
          
          And now… within the last 3 weeks, something kicked in. Maybe my ADHD kicking in, or it’s just the timing after life’s been happening around me.
          But everything suddenly came back. My motivation to continue writing, world building, character breakdowns, and song writing. 
          
          I rewrote the full synopsis based on my last outline revision of the story, to recall and twig some things.
          So… I finally finished Karla's story.
          And turned out there will be 4 books—haha.

I will start re-publishing everything around August 2025.
            The first book's revision has a lot of major changes, specifically the arc, flow, though the main conflict remains. 
            I experiment more in writing style, rather cinematic, because I started writing from film scripts. And I’ve always wanted to try to write in that style. 
            
            But I won't delete the first version. 
            It will remain, as I felt that that version holds the relationship between me and Karla, instead of Karla and Severus. 
            
            And in the new version, my point of view remains, but I get to see Karla in her own voice. 
            
            Salam.

Everyone!
          Ugghhh!! I feel so bad since I've been gone for long without any updates huhuu 
          So basically after releasing Circulating Loud Movements (CLM), the plan was to go back to fanfic again
          BUT
          I got a freelance project coming in all of a sudden after a month of not having any. Oh, well! Gotta pay the bills! So, I just finished all the work, and I need to recover from the stomach complications I got from it :)). 
          Should be back to fanfic in next week cause I miss Karla Atkins so freakin' much! 
          Every time I listen to her song in CLM imma like "Aaaa... </3"

Hi!  
          I hope everyone is doing okay~ 
          Sorry that I’ve been slow on updating Comforting Sounds - Book 2. Rest assured I’m still writing it ☺️☺️ 
          I have 2 chapters currently under last check. 
          But I won’t be focusing on it until around early June, becauseeee…  
          I will be releasing my very first music album!! 
          
          It’s titled “Circulating Loud Movements”.
          Will be available on Band Camp, consisting of 7 tracks.
          
          Andddd…
          In this album I have a couple of songs that has a correlation with Karla Atkins. There’s a song telling personally about my relationship with her — mentioning about the scene in the first book that inspired me to write her whole story. 
          Then there’s Karla’s theme soundtrack, and a song that I personally wrote for Karla to sing on a chapter in Book 2 (we’re still far away from that moment haha, but I will attach it on the said chapter).
          Her theme song will be on hidden tracks from purchasing the whole album (free on the first week of release).
          
          “Circulating Loud Movements” will be available starting from June 2nd, 2023!
          Aaaaa can’t waitt!!

@professionalsevsimp Hello!!! Really glad to hear this and thank you so much for ur appreciation! 
            And yesssss, Book 2 is still happening, but I just need more time to review it :DD 
            The delay in updates happened since I found a lot of plot holes from the first draft of the outline I had. So for now... Chapter 2 is still being proofread, while Chapter 3 is being written.
