An update to my stories is highly unlikely this weekend. Saturday is usually my writing day, and tomorrow I have to go get an specialized brain MRI to check on spinal fluid flow and see whether or not I'll need a second round of brain surgery 7 years later rip. And then Sunday I'm going to go see Wicked and it's my older brother's birthday so I'm going to head over to his house to hang out probably. 
          	
          	That being said, my work gets off Wednesday for like a week of thanksgiving break so I want to get at least one chapter done then! 
          	
          	When I find out the MRI results, I will probably write a chapter in my newsletter/random book to update any who are curious especially because the results could very much impact my writing for the next 6-8 months or so, depending on what we find out.

Hey friends! 
          
          For Riordanverse writers - there's no better respected community on Wattpad, and very few communities that host awards with as much efficiency and transparency as this one.
          
          For Riordanverse readers - What better way to find some stories to read than to browse the submissions here? Honestly check it out! 
          
          Thanks as always to @A_Demigod_Community for your tireless work in keeping the fandom alive and kicking on Wattpad in a time when fandom spaces are becoming more and more isolated and frequently privatized behind closed doors.

hi <3  i've been looking for a while now for a book centered on Talbert and a nurse, Charlie Lancaster. I loved the book and wanted to reread it, but it simply disappeared. i'd like to find the author (unfortunately can't remember the name), to congratulate and to find out what happened to the book, which was really good. if anyone knows anything, please let me know. Thank you :))

@dabiatchsarah Unfortunately I don't know the work you're referring to. Try reddit! There are a few subreddits that help with searching for lost fics.

Today's Daily Kindergarten Roast:
          
          "You need to get new shoes, Ms. J. They need to be colorful."
          
          Me: "Why though? These make me taller!" (They're my favorite and in peak condition platform combat boots)
          
          Her: "Yeah well mine make me faster." (Her colorful sneakers).
          
          
          She had the audacity to say that to me while looking under my desk as I was troubleshooting her tablet lmfao. I hope this brought you a laugh today. I get roasted daily but this was particularly good.

I just want to say the way I have devoured your Band of Brothers stories <3 Thank you so much for sharing your writing it has helped improve my own writing and storytelling. I cant wait to start  Under the Banner! Also is your work only on Wattpad I would love to be able to download the files and keep on my Kindle to read if it's available on AO3.

@Mia-Tonks ahh I'm so glad!!! I've been writing for a long time now, even got my degree in it, but I still remember the works of fanfic writers who inspired me years ago (and some still to this day)! So thank you for letting me know <3

I am a Tolkien fanatic, and I keep seeing you winning awards, so I've added your Tolkien fanfics to one of my stacks. I don't know when I'll get a chance to read them, but I hope it will be soon enough. I've been curious about them for a while.

Silmarilz1701

@SeraDrake it's a life goal of mine to get over to Oxford and see all the sights. Definitely gonna visit all the inklings sights I can but good to know about the prices haha. For now, I'll have to save up for a flight across the ocean rip.

@Silmarilz1701 - If you're ever in Oxford, don't get your food and drinks from The Bird and Baby. They're overpriced. Go across the street to the Royal Oak (which I'm assuming is still in existence, although it might have changed its name by now - the last time I was on Oxford was in the 1990s). Sitting at the old Inklings table and nursing a cider while writing a last-minute essay prior to a tutorial session feels romantic, though, so I wouldn't say it's money completely wasted.

@SeraDrake Omg well I hope you enjoy them <3 Tolkien is definitely my home. Has been and will always be my favorite fandom. I grew up on the books and movies and in college and beyond I've done academic work on Tolkien's work <3. Some of my works are better than others haha since I've been writing Tolkien fics for about half my life at this point. Something like 15 years. My older stuff is...eh. but my current stuff is what I'm most proud of

For my readers waiting for my usual Saturday update tomorrow:
          
          Very unlikely to happen (though not absolutely impossible). I've been very sick the last week, like ER sick, and don't imagine having the energy to write tomorrow and do a 5 hour hair appt lol. So we'll have to wait and see.

The absolutely insane urge to write OC based Warrior Cats fanfics while rereading them two decades later lol kids these days don't remember doing forum threads of RP back when the books were first releasing but man it was a time.

Silmarilz1701

@PilindielTheElf I almost certainly will not write it unfortunately/fortunately lol. But don't worry Pili, whatever RP you did back then pails in comparison to the cringe that I produced as a 9-year-old on Warrior Cats fan sites lol. Technically that was my start in writing if you want to call it that xD

@Silmarilz1701 if you do end up writing it, I fear it may become the one fic I don’t read of yours lmao. Please don’t make me follow you back down to the Warrior Cats fandom and all the roleplaying from back in the day. I tremble at the thought of it (because what was I doing?? it was bad)

If I had a nickel for every November that I tried to do NaNo while fighting chronic pain/neuro issues/headaches and also having an MRI that determines whether or not I will have to have brain surgery, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't much but it is weird that it's happened twice.
          
          
          Happy 50k to all who celebrate. Get typing!

@Silmarilz1701 Pfft, don't worry, you're not supposed to edit during NaNoWriMo. Just write and let the typos take over. ;)

@katiegoesmew I raise a glass to you, and turn the lights out. Daily migraines are now joke (been there, done that, now I'm just happy to have three a week instead of seven). Happy NeuroNaNo to you as well
