⚠️IMPORTANT⚠️
          	I am feeling well enough to say I am coming off break and will be more active for the time being. Still not incredibly active due to college finals coming up, but I have new content I will be publishing soon.
          	
          	Secondly, Arrogance, my long-anticipated JJK x reader fanfic, will be out on November 24th, which leads me to my next point: Patreon. I officially launched my Patreon, which also includes free memberships and not just paid stuff, so everyone is welcome to sign up and receive bonus content.
          	
          	I created Patreon due to me being almost out of college and working even more, and Patreon can massively help me continue my writing endeavors and limit my work hours to focus more on my stories, so any support is greatly appreciated—whether it's a free membership or the paid tiers.
          	
          	Some of the benefits for the paid tiers include:
          	- Early chapter access
          	- Early book access
          	- Birthday oneshots and oneshot requests
          	- "What if" content where I write short stories/oneshots showing alternate timelines of what could have happened in my stories (i.e., a "what if" alternate ending for Like Crazy)
          	And far more.
          	
          	The first three chapters of Arrogance will be available today at 3 p.m. EST for highest-tier Patreon subscribers, and on Monday at 3 p.m. EST for the second-highest-tier. Along with that, the next chapter of A Demon's Sin is available NOW for ALL tiers. From now on, all of my upcoming books and upcoming chapters will be released early (2-14 days early depending on tier) on Patreon.

          	Lastly, I am hoping to finish Padauk ASAP, and all of my 2024 contests will be receiving results soon (Forever Gold, Candlelight, Fairy Night, Padauk, and WHO), so please stay tuned for them.
          	
          	Thank you for reading, and I will see you in the next update.
          	~ Raven

@Ravendipity I did notice that although... Not really our fault, is it? Commander Park's got no business being that fine and then straight up walking past you as if he did not just give me a heart attack like- (⁠•⁠‿⁠•⁠)

@Ravendipity And yet you keep making new awards! I feel like I should be taking time management tips from you, I thought I was good at it but your schedule exhausts me just thinking about it. I love to read but this really is another level lol

Heyoo Raven,, I hope you are doing fine<33
          Just wanted to ask are the awards still on, coz I wanted to take down some of my books that's why,, love you ❤❤

Ravendipity

@KPOP_CLUB_97 Hello, thank you for reaching out,
            
            Yes, all of my awards are still ongoing. Unless I post an announcement in my actual awards books saying they are canceled, they are ongoing. I have never canceled an awards before and never will, so there will never be a time when my awards are not ongoing. They just take time as I am the only judge and the reviews are anywhere from 25k - 60k+ words per category, so as you can probably imagine, results take a while since that's just raw word count, not even factoring in reading the books and editing time. I took about a three-week break from judging due to unforeseen circumstances with my friend's passing, but I am judging Candlelight, Padauk, the WHO Awards, and Forever Gold currently with plans to do more judging for the Fairy Night Awards ASAP as well.
            
            So, long story short, yes they are still ongoing, and I have no plans to ever cancel any of my awards, even if it takes me a very long time to do them I'd rather finish them and take a while than cancel them. I hope that answers your question.

Hi Raven! I hope you’re doing well, I haven’t been on Wattpad much in the past two years, but I remember I really enjoyed reading your Spiderkook story! (Soooo underrated) and I saw that you’re a writer irl? Do you have TikTok? Is so are you on Booktok? I would love to know more if you’re writing a book! Or if you’re editing others’ books how that process is working out for you! ❤️

Kristy24cannel

@Ravendipity Omg! Sorry for not replying! Good luck with your graduation, this would’ve been my grad year too lol and thank you for letting me know about the discord server!❤️ Don’t worry about rambling lol you seem like such a nice person! I’m a professional yapper myself so honestly girl you good XD

@Kristy24cannel I am too! I love anything dystopian, so you can expect a loooot of those in the future. My schedule is definitely packed. I'm actually about to go into a work meeting in a minute, haha. I am in college but am graduating in a few months, so not too much longer until I'll have my bachelor's, and I'll likely go for a PhD down the line when I have more money for the education. As for updates, ironically, Wattpad is where I post the least updates about my books lol. I only make announcements like 3 times a month at most, and one of those will be on the 24th when I officially launch Arrogance. I typically post updates on Discord and now Patreon since I started that a few days ago, though despite what the name implies Patreon is not strictly a paid thing and I plan on posting a lot of things on there for the public to see. But yeah, pretty much my Discord server and my Patreon, and both of those links are in my bio. I will make announcements on WP, just not as many since I have a giant disdain for posting announcements. I always feel like I'm bothering people lol. I hope that answers the question, though I feel like I just rambled there.

Omgg those three sound sooo good, especially The Sparrow’s Will cuz I’m a sucker for After-Earth/Disaster genres XD I can imagine how time consuming everything is, your schedule must be packed, and you mentioned you’re in college right? Gah lee T-T I hope the money is worth it lol but btw is there any way for me to stay informed about your upcoming books? Or should I stick to hearing out for your announcements? Thank you for your reply!

As promised, I'm here with my rant since Nionna is at 5K reads (and an impressive vote count of 1.57K) now. *insert party emojis here*
          
          || WARNING: NIONNA SPOILERS ||
          {since Wattpad mb is a bitch, I'll have to break this down into two parts cause of the word limit. The other half is in the comments of this!}
          
          First and foremost : Prince Park Jimin.
          The amount of times I've screamed over this particular Jimin is concerning, considering how the book was only 25 chapters, lmao. 
          I loved how his character progressed throughout the story. From "Nothing mattered more than Kayira." to "Nothing mattered more than Y/N." I loved how he slowly let his guard down for her, and let her in. 
          
          Also, I adored the way Y/N was so understanding and compassionate throughout the story. Her playful remarks and flustered states, to the way she confidently proposed him for marriage stole my heart as well. She's my second favorite Y/N till now (after SF Y/N ofc).
          
          The contrast between Nionna and Kayira is still so mesmerizing to me, and the way the difference between the kingdoms are shown in Y/N and Jimin's personalities as well. 
          
          From the secret plotting between the both of them, to the way they trusted each other. Their kingdoms were a big deal to the both of them, and I love how they both trusted each other with that.
          
          Hoseok's character was pleasing as well. From the way he was always there for Y/N and then gradually became closer to Jimin was very fascinating. I still remember the part where he paints Dali on Jimin's face. We stan Dali in this household. 
          
          The use of "my dearest" "my fairest princess" and such, turned me into a puddle of adoration. Prince Jimin, was perfect until the end. His imperfection is what made him perfect to me.
          
          ~continued...

Ravendipity

Ahh, thank you, thank you. I certainly spent a lot of time on Nionna to make her different from my other stories, and that came down to the writing and how it was presented. Honestly, it's Jimin who does it, not me. It's easy to describe him when he's so ethereal. He's a work of art, and what artist wouldn't want to have him as a muse? He's mine, so I spend an unhealthy amount of time describing his beauty. I have a feeling I'll be doing it for many weeks to come...
            
            Okay yeah that's fair I mean those pictures were crazy and I selected them before I even wrote the chapters so imagine my pain of trying to write while those pictures were just staring at me...
            
            Thank YOU for reading and supporting me. I wouldn't have been able to write Nionna, or any story for that matter, without the support of my lovely Wattpad community, and all your funny and kind comments keep me going.
            
            Considering it's gained almost 100 reads since this, I'd say it'll get 10k relatively quickly, and I also have a lot of people adding it to their libraries, so I have a feeling it's gonna do well in the future. Normally books do better the longer they're completed for, but who knows, we'll see what happens.
            
            NAHHH NOT THE OFFICER PARK AND HIS DONUTS HE'S GONNA WRITE ABOUT YOU IN HIS DIARY IF YOU SAY THAT BAHAHAHAHA

Ravendipity

@estellaxcielo Lemme reply to this in stages so I can reply to everything, haha.
            
            I'm astonished that you noticed Nionna reached 5k before I did, lmao. Though it is impressive how fast it got to 5k. Normally it takes a lot longer, but here she is, getting over 5k reads. I wonder how long it'll take her to get 10k, then. She pulled over 100 reads and over 40 votes on every chapter, so that is quite impressive.
            
            Jimin is so valid, though, cause he's Jimin. He had a hook on me too and I wrote it, so...
            
            SF betta *insert emoji here*. I enjoy writing Y/ns who are just... nice. I think I'm gonna do a few more like that in the future. Not too many since I want SF Y/n and Nionna Y/n to stand out, but I'm enjoying just compassionate, determined Y/ns. They're refreshing.
            
            Oh yeah, they "plotted" alright *smirk emoji* mhm they were certainly plotting a lot...
            
            Anytime I give a BTS member a pet I know it's over for me and I'm folding I stg I need help but I can't stop giving them pets-
            
            Yeah honestly the way Jimin used all them terms of endearment had me in a chokehold too, and again, I wrote it, so... that's saying smth I'm supposed to be the one built to handle it but instead here I am wallowing in my own grave.
            
            I still got a lot of room but I'll continue the second half in another message so it's organized lmao.

            The writing. How do I even end praising your writing Raven? Pfft, the day Jimin stops flirting with everything is the day I stop ranting over that, xD. 
            The slight references from the previous chapters, to the book starting and ending with the same sentence: "He had the most beautiful eyes."Nionna made me fall for Jimin even more (if that's even possible). And that's what your writing does everytime, Raven. It shows everyone how amazing of a personality he has, and how beautiful of a human he is.  Your descriptions of him captivate me every single time, and you're awesome for being able to do that.
            
            This rant cannot be concluded without talking about the banners. Those AI Jimin pictures? My eyes were truly blessed *insert bowing emojis*. I'm still not over the banner of "Heir To The Throne".
            
            Once again, thanks a lot to YOU, Raven, for writing this. You were the one who brought this story and Prince Jimin to life, and made him one of my most favorite Jimins.
            
            P.S. I'm gonna have a longer rant prepared for when Nionna crosses 10K as well. *insert sparkle emoji*
            I love you as much as OP loves donuts, xD.
            byebye!
            xoxo,
            Estella

          Have you thought about how a flower blooms more and more radiant after the rain? Do you think the constant rain drops that fall high from the sky don't hurt them? It does, and that's the process of growing. Growing into something more, something really beautiful and meaningful. Something that will make you forget about all the hardships. I believe, there is always a way and that everyone will be alright, just hold on tight and we'll get through the night.

@slytherclaw_seeker Hiya! I wish I could, though I unfortunately do not have an Instagram. I deleted it a couple months back due to some personal issues I was receiving on the platform. I do, however, have Twitter and Discord, if either of those options work. My Twitter is Jiminbiasnim, and my Discord ravendipity

Hey, Raven! 
          I'm sorry to disturb you, but I want to ask about something. In case you didn't start the judging for "Best Fanfic" Category in Candlelight Awards, then I wish to change my book. I want to take back "Deal" And enter "Royal Love" instead. Please do tell me if you don't want to change it because of any reason. I won't mind it if you can't change. But please do inform me about your wishes. Also, do tell me if I need to fill the form again. 
          Thank you.

@Ravendipity Thank you, Rave! *hearts*

@sugararmy07 Hi Hi Honey,
            You're no disturbance. I did not start judging yet since that category is pretty large, so I'm saving that until at least after I finish Padauk. You don't need to refill the form again. Since I did not start judging that category yet, that's fine. I updated it in my notes to be Royal Love instead of Deal, so you're all good.
