Happy New Year, fellow Wattpadians.
          
          Apologies for the lateness of my celebratory wishes to you all.
          
          2025 ended on a sad note as we said goodbye to our beloved Border Collie, Toby. He would have been 14 years old come February 14th. 
          
          A beloved companion, he is a significant loss, and I'm feeling very empty at the moment and crying copious amounts of tears. Therefore, I will be quiet with regards to both reading and writing for a while.  I promise to return to stories I am currently reading, but for now, I am unable to focus.
          
          Meanwhile, I wish everyone a fortuitous and creative 2026—best wishes to all.

꧁༺   MERRY CHRISTMAS   ༻꧂
          
          
          ꧁༺To all my friends, Wattpadian writers and readers alike. 
          
          May you enjoy the festivities and the wonderful fayre with your nearest and dearest. 
          
          Also, let's take a moment to remember our loved ones who can no longer sit at our table, but watch over us from wherever their spirits flourish. ༻꧂

Thanks for returning the favor ❤️

Hey! It looks like something went wrong with my app and somehow i wasn't following you anymore. Not sure if i clicked on anything by mistake or if it was a bug or even how long it's been like this  i fixed it now!

Hey! Sorry for my absence in the last period. Work got pretty hectic and i've been using all the time i got to finish one sequel. It took me a while, but i'm pretty happy with the result! I promise to return and finish your story in the next few days <3

Calling all Fanfiction authors! Here's a great contest for you to showcase your stories, no matter which fandom you champion. I hope you will participate.
          
          Also, fellow WoWers, I've taken the liberty of tagging some of you - I hope you don't mind; apologies if you prefer not to be included. However, I feel our fandom gets lost amongst the myriad of other fandoms out there, so here's a chance to shine :)

Well, that’s THE ADEPT’S SECRET now complete. It’s been a joy to write, and I hope those who have read/are reading it have found it equally enjoyable. 
          
          For folks who are not particularly drawn to these types of stories, I hope maybe one day you will find your way to giving my story a chance and add it to your reading lists. 
          
          Whilst it is a fanfiction set in the World of Warcraft fandom, it is nonetheless a story that includes action and adventure, drama, romance, humour as well as addressing issues like grief, heartache, bias, and fear, and, of course, magic, monsters, and mayhem. So, why not give it a chance? You may well find it entertaining and a great way to pass your time. 

The penultimate chapter of my fanfiction story set in the World of Warcraft universe is now up for your perusal. One more week to go, and the story will be complete. 
          
          Fanfiction may not be everyone's cup of tea; you may consider such stories childish, a literal cartoon, a fangirl's crush, or just too far removed from more gritty material, but I guarantee you my take on WoW is more than just spouting gameplay or mirroring existing comics and books that its fans already cherish. My spin on it is filled with mystery, drama, adventure, and, of course, a little romance and humour. Yes, there are mentions of established names of characters and places, but my stories are always character-driven by MY OCs (characters of my own making). I delve deep into real emotions, address some of real-life's complexities -  love, hate, bias, loss, death, relationships, abuse, narcissism and more. So, if you think you're in the mood for something different from your usual library, give THE ADEPT'S SECRET a try. 
          
          I want to take this opportunity to thank those who have given my story a chance, read it, and commented. I value all feedback and truly appreciate all who take the time to indulge me.

Fellow author @Nyhterides recently posted about artists constantly hounding them for commissions.  I am totally on board with their views on the subject.
          
          I've also experienced this plague, and one appeared on my A03 account last night. It was the straw that broke the camel's back.
          
          This is the response I sent back: -
          
          As a writer, I always hope for readers to become invested in my storytelling, to enjoy the journey with my characters and plots, and, hopefully, they'll engage in pleasantries and, perhaps, offer some constructive criticism. Knowing I've created something they enjoy and eagerly anticipate reading brings me joy.
          
          But when someone comes along, reads one chapter - IF THAT - then starts discussing commission work, well, that really annoys me.
          
          I'm fed up with the plague of artists touting for business in this way. When I need covers created, I either make my own or visit a site where registered artists showcase their work, allowing me to read reviews from their customers.
          
          So, no, I'd rather not discuss cover ideas with you, but I sincerely wish you success with your art. Take the time to research potential clients by reading their profiles; mine, for example, explicitly states that I do not appreciate being harassed by artists touting for business. Alienating potential clients is not recommended. If Ao3 do not permit you to create your own profile with samples of your work, corresponding reviews and price ranges, then register with Fivver, or a similar platform. Trust me, when writers want such a service, they will find you.

Hello, my fellow Wattpadians. Just a quick note to let you know that I have posted six more chapters of THE ADEPT'S SECRET. I hope you enjoy how the tale is unfolding.
