Heya, folks! Friendly reminder that the scammers trying to start a discussion on another social media platform are still making their rounds on Wattpad. 
          	
          	If you checked your social feeds last night and saw my reply comments on one of my stories, hopefully you know I decided to have some fun with this bot, person, whatever they are. It's honestly annoying that they think they can leave a nice comment on a RANDOM chapter of a project and then try to talk outside of Wattpad for what is often a paid (monetary) service of artwork or something along those lines. Just because they start it with a comment to disarm, it doesn't mean that they don't follow the same script after. If you expect me to not be bored enough to mess with you, then think again! 
          	
          	Just be careful out there, folks. Don't pay for anything that will more than likely be AI slop anyway (hence the scamming, unless they run off with your money, which is also an option). Report the accounts, block them and all that jazz.

Heya, folks! I am back with a quick announcement regarding what I've achieved today. 
          
          ➼ Firstly, the surprise chapter I said I might post... Well, I posted it. I found it in my Google Docs. This is a fanfiction scene I originally wrote in 2024 for a writing competition. Don't ask how that went. Anyway, I've reworked it a little for My Little Fanfiction Corner since I'm not constrained by word counts or deadlines. You can find the X-Men one-shot featuring Logan and my OC Cathy at the link below.  
          
          https://www.wattpad.com/1653236023-my-little-fanfiction-corner-fanfiction-short
          
          ➼ I have also reworked the order of the acts in My Little Fanfiction Corner. Act 3 is now dedicated to my OC interviews. Act 4 is the one-shot fanfiction short stories I create for my OC's. If you would like to ask a question to one of my OC's from any of the fandoms, please don't hesitate to ask as many characters as you'd like. The link is below. 
          
          https://www.wattpad.com/1588380925-my-little-fanfiction-corner-fanfiction-short
          
          ➼ I have also added two new OC's to the list in Act 3's chapter. Hadey, my Disney's Descendants OC, and Zadie, my other Star Wars OC. You can now ask them questions too regarding their respective fandoms and possible stories. Again, you can check them out at the link above. 
          
          I am now going to sign off for the night. I may come online again to wind down with some reading later, but I'm all tuckered out from writing for today. Until we meet again in the next announcement sometime tomorrow! ♥️

Heya, folks! I am back with another quick announcement. 
          
          ➼ Something I forgot to mention about Ashes in the Snow is that I decided to move the third scene from chapter 2 to chapter 3 instead. It makes more sense, as the third scene would jump into the next day and the third chapter documents Leah's return to Hawkins throughout that day. It also makes the third chapter around the same word count as the other two. 
          
          ➼ I have three writing goals for the rest of this week. 
          
          1. Mother's Day One-Shot Fanfiction — This is something I've had in the works since March as part of a writing challenge I never finished, but I would like to get it from my drafts and into My Little Fanfiction Corner. It will be exclusive to My Little Fanfiction Corner (located on my Wattpad profile) and my Tumblr blog. It follows Leah Daugherty and Leon S. Kennedy in their established relationship as they navigate a challenge unlike anything they've faced: Leah's mother on Mother's Day. 
          
          2. The Last Lullaby, Chapter 1 edits — I received some feedback from one of the book clubs I was a part of and will be editing Chapter 1 to make it better based on the feedback I received. The Last Lullaby can be found on my other account (link in bio), where I write my original stories. 
          
          3. Ashes in the Snow, Chapter 3 edits and rewrites — Chapter 3 is already written. It just needs some refining. This looks to be a shorter chapter to navigate than the others, so hopefully I'll be able to bash this out by the end of the week. 
          
          ➼ I might also have a surprise chapter to post at some point today, but we'll see if I can find it first. 
          
          Just like that, we're all caught up. I hope you have a lovely day ahead, wherever you are in the world. Thank you again for all your continued support on my stories and projects. Don't forget those hydro checks and to stay safe. Until the next announcement, folks! Signing off for now! ♥️

Heya, folks! I am back with a quick announcement. 
          
          ➼ We have a new chapter of Ashes in the Snow updated, ladies and gentlemen. Chapter 2 is officially out, and Leah's curiosity is getting the better of her. We also get a glimpse of her summer home in Hawkins, but what isn't she telling us? Check out the latest chapter at the link below. 
          
          https://www.wattpad.com/1653137118-ashes-in-the-snow-02-someplace-called-home
          
          ➼ Act 3 of My Little Fanfiction Corner has been fully edited and rewritten. Some of them didn't need any editing, which made my job super easy. For those who don't know, My Little Fanfiction Corner is the multi-fandom one-shot collection I have been building here over the years. You don't have to read all the one-shots. You can skip to the fandoms you're part of and that you prefer to read. I appreciate that not everyone enjoys the same fandoms as me and may only want to read what they're comfortable with. Each one-shot includes what fandom I've written about and any content warnings. Check it out below!

          ➼ In other news, I tidied my room today too and also spent a little bit of time polishing my Docs and cleaning my winter Vans to prepare for the colder weather. At this point, you never know, so it's better to be prepared than sorry. Yeah, a very busy day indeed! 
          
          Anyhow, I hope you all have a lovely remainder of your evening or whatever time of day it is in your corner of the world. Thank you all for your continued support and patience. Don't forget those hydro checks and to stay safe. Until the next announcement after some rest and once I organise my next writing goals for the week! ♥️

Heya, folks! I am back with another announcement regarding the current progress of my projects. If there are any typos or errors, I apologise as I'm writing this on my tablet rather than my laptop. It's also really early in the morning for me since I can't get back to sleep, so I'll try to keep this short. 
          
          ➼ Firstly, I have completed the second scene in chapter 2 for Ashes in the Snow. I just have the last part to do, which is thankfully a short scene, then it will be ready to go. Hopefully, I'll be able to complete this later today. 
          
          ➼ Secondly, I have edited and rewritten some of the Fanfiction short stories in My Little Fanfiction Corner in the act 3 section. I am still refining some since my niece decided to pester me for a bit about music. If you know me, I can't resist talking and teaching some music skills, especially to my niece. This is another goal I have for later today. 
          
          ➼ I might not be online too much through the day, unless it's to write and maybe read to wind down. Today (Monday), I'm doing a full clean of my bedroom, which takes a lot of energy out of me. If I don't get my writing goals complete before the clean-up, then I will finish them on Tuesday when I don't have as much to do. 
          
          Anyway, I hope you all have a lovely morning, afternoon or night, wherever you are in the world. I'm going to see if I can go back to sleep now this is all off my mind. Don't forget your hydro checks and to stay as safe as possible in your neck of the woods. Until we meet again in the next announcement! ♥️

SkullantacySmith

Aww, thank you so much! Super proud of all the progress I've made so far, especially with the hectic weekend I've had. 
            
            You can't go wrong with the Descendants movies. Pretty sure most of the songs from D3 were in my Spotify Wrapped 2019. Good to know someone else loves Descendants and Kenny Ortega movies too! 
            
            That's a shame, but even little bits of progress are still progress. Just remember you have someone cheering on every little thing you do from across the sea! I hope you were able to get a better night's sleep, too. 
            
            It's not a problem! I'll always try to reply when I remember to do so and bring a little sunshine your way. I'm also glad others have been spreading some light too to brighten your spirits for the day. ♥️

            Excellent movie choice; D3 is one of my all-time favorites, both as a comfort film & just out of Kenny Ortega's filmography, overall. <33333
            
            Hoping you'll be able to relax & unwind for the rest of your evening in whatever way/ways make you happiest after all of the incredible goals you've checked off today. <3333333

            My day's been pretty rough, sadly. Got a crappy night's sleep last night & only managed to make a teeny-tiny bit of headway in my rough draft for Ch. 6 of Ms. Maddie's Hogwarts adventures.
            
            Honestly, your reply & the feedback from two of my other beloved sisters-from-other-misters over on my message board have been the main bright spots in my evening thus far. <3
            
            As always, I'll try my best to stay optimistic, though. <3

@SunsetMercer Thank you so much! Thankfully, I was able to complete both of my writing goals today alongside cleaning the bedroom. I am super proud of what I achieved today and ready to wind down for the rest of the night now. 
            
            Music is truly such a unifying force! 
            
            Thankfully, my mam helps with cleaning, so it went off without a hitch. Very exhausted from controlling the hoover and carpet cleaner, though. XD I watched Descendants 3 to chill out after. 
            
            Aww, thank you once again! I hope your night was just as restful, and I hope your day so far has been as wonderful as your replies on my message board! ♥️

Heya, folks! It's been longer than I would've liked for another announcement, so I am back with a quick update before the weekend is over. 
          
          ➼ This week has been far too busy. I had to babysit my niece last minute on Wednesday; on Thursday, I had my first driving lesson in over three months (it went well!); on Friday, I met up with a friend who had just come home from deployment; then, this weekend I've been on puppy babysitting duty while my brother-in-law and sister-in-law move into their new home. My head is stomping after all the barking sessions from the comings and goings of other family members helping them move, and I'm very dysregulated because of it all. 
          
          ➼ I haven't done much reading, gaming or writing beyond trying to keep my niece occupied. I've focused on refining dialogue scenes for future Ashes in the Snow chapters, while also catching up on some comfort television shows to wind down to. 
          
          ➼ Tonight, I hope to go in the shower and have a nice early night before I'm inevitably woken up early tomorrow morning to look after the puppies again (all three of them, including my own). I won't be doing much tonight for obvious reasons. 
          
          ➼ Tomorrow, I have the odd job to do offline. However, I hope to fit in some writing for the next part of chapter 2 for Ashes in the Snow and maybe have a look at My Little Fanfiction Corner act 3 short stories. Wish me luck! 
          
          Thank you all once again for your continued support and patience. Don't forget those regular hydro checks and remember to stay safe. I'll see you guys in the next announcement, which will hopefully be sooner than this one! ♥️

SkullantacySmith

@SunsetMercer Aww, thank you! I'm so sorry for worrying you. It's been a little hectic on my side of the pond this week. Thankfully, I had a really good night of sleep and I wasn't woken up at 7am in the morning like yesterday, so I was allowed a lie in. I'm counting that as a win! 
            
            Thank you again! I'm currently going through all my notifications that I've missed the last few days, so I'll be getting to yours soon hopefully. I hope you had a lovely night filled with lots of writing adventures! ♥️

Heya, folks! I am back with another quick update. 
          
          ➼ I didn't do many hobbies yesterday since my eye decided to act up. I spent most of the day trying to blink whatever was in it and causing it so much pain out of it. I also just hid under the covers to avoid the light, but I did get a little bit of reading done last night when it started to settle down. Thankfully, it's much better today. 
          
          ➼ I have a mostly relaxed day planned filled with more reading, writing and gaming. I do have the odd writing community task I need to do, but I'm leaving that for the evening.  
          
          ➼ I promised I would update you guys on my priorities regarding my stories, but never got around to it due to some unforeseen circumstances. However, that's what I'm going to address now. 
          
          CURRENT PROJECTS: Ashes in the Snow (on this account) and The Last Lullaby (on my alternative account). This is what I am currently focused on. 
          
          NEXT PROJECTS: Shrouded In Mystery (on this account) and For the Record (on my alternative account). I hope to continue these projects in the winter (northern hemisphere) of 2026 or, at the latest, early next year. That's when I hope to have my current projects almost complete.  
          
          Some exciting things ahead. Let's see if I can keep to that schedule. I will announce more about these projects at a later date. 
          
          Once again, thank you for all your support and patience. Don't forget those regular hydro checks, even when the temperatures cool down, and stay safe (especially with all the wildfires happening). I'll see you guys in the next announcement with some, hopefully, better news!

SkullantacySmith

@SunsetMercer Yeah, yesterday I traded pain for nonstop watering. I think my hay fever allergies just started acting up the last few days. I feel ten times better today, thankfully!
            
            Aww, thank you to all the above! Yesterday was far more productive and restful than the last couple of days. Your replies are always a welcome sprinkle of joy over on my corner of the internet. Can't wait to see what you've gotten up to as well! ♥️

Heya, folks! It's been a few days since I made an announcement, so here is a quick one to let you guys know what's been happening. 
          
          ➼ The last two days have been less than productive for me. Someone on one of my socials decided to be less than kind to me over something that was a none problem, so I decided to block them. To be fair, I warned them first, and they continued to call me names, and I always follow through on my threats. Because of this, I am creating pinned posts on some of my social media accounts to remind people what I stand for and what I will not tolerate. 
          
          ➼ I didn't get as much reading done as I'd hoped on Friday. Because of being up really early and not having a lot of sleep, I decided to nap most of the day away. That also filtered into yesterday after the lovely experience online I had. Though, on the bright side, I did make more dialogue scripts on my notes app for Ashes in the Snow.  
          
          ➼ Today, I'm going to be catching up on a few things that didn't get done over the last couple of days, but I'm hoping to have a restful day filled with a bit of gaming and more reading than the last couple of days. 
          
          ➼ Also, has anyone else had the chance to watch Camp Rock 3 yet? I actually really enjoyed it. Obviously, it has its flaws like the movies before it, but it's been a while since I've just watched something for fun rather than to critique it. That's what I think these movies are supposed to be. Fun! 
          
          Once again, thank you all for your support and patience. Don't forget those regular hydro checks in the summer heat and to stay safe. I'll see you guys in the next announcement! ♥️

SkullantacySmith

@SunsetMercer Yeah, it was quite the ordeal. I don't take name-calling lightly, and since they had a problem respecting that, blocking them seemed like the only option. Thank you! I'm a huge advocate for protecting peace by any means necessary. 
            
            Thank you so much! I love celebrating both the small and the big wins here! I'm glad you do, too. ♥️
            
            Aww, thank you again! That's so sweet of you! 
            
            I'm hyped for those too. Season 3 of Percy Jackson comes out the same month as Sunrise on the Reaping as well, so I'm prepared to have my heart ripped out on both counts. I'm also up to date on all the trailers so far for Avengers: Doomsday. 
            
            Once again, thank you so much for your heart-meltingly sweet comment. They always make my day that little bit brighter and are an immediate joy to read no matter the time of day. Love you lots!!! ♥️♥️♥️

Heya, folks! It's really warm tonight, so I'm going to make this one quick. 
          
          ➼ I have achieved so much with Ashes in the Snow today. The first part of the second chapter has been edited and rewritten. I'm really proud of it so far. I have also rewritten the description/blurb to read better. 
          
          ➼ You may have noticed that I have added 'hiatus' to some of my stories. Don't worry. This won't last forever. I'm planning to come back to these projects in the future, but they're not on my priority list right now. 
          
          That's everything tonight. I'm going to spend the rest of my night trying to regulate my body temperature, but I think it's going to be a long one unless it cools down. I hate heatwaves. 
          
          Once again, thank you all for your support and patience. Don't forget to complete regular hydro checks and to stay safe out there. I'll see you guys after tomorrow (Friday)! ♥️

@SunsetMercer Thank yooooouuuuu! ♥️ I was so happy with my progress yesterday. 
            
            I'll probably come back online at the weekend to detail my priorities list to everyone. Some of those projects might be happening a lot sooner than people think, fingers crossed. 
            
            It's meant to be four degrees cooler today, but I've been up since half two because of the horrid heat. It's nearly half 4 here now, so I guess I'll end up having a nap during my reading day once it cools down a bit. I'm hoping it's the last I see of the heat for some time. 
            
            Aww, thank you! I hope you also have a lovely night and enjoy some downtime! ♥️

Heya, folks! I am back with another announcement. 
          
          ➼ I didn't do much writing yesterday. I just lay in bed and rotted for a few hours to wind down from the busy two days I've had. However, I did do some more planning for Ashes in the Snow since Leah Daugherty and Leon S. Kennedy now live rent-free in my head. I also did some reading. 
          
          ➼ I have some goals for today, but they're mostly small compared to what I've already accomplished this week. I also have a lot of downtime scheduled, so I don't creatively burn myself out. I will let you know more about what I achieve today later before I sign off for the night. 
          
          ➼ I won't be online at all tomorrow. I have an appointment in the late morning, and I'm going to have a day dedicated to reading again. The only time I will be online is to send reminders for the book club and to read some more Wattpad books. 
          
          That's everything for now. Thank you all for your support and patience. Don't forget that hydrocheck, and remember to stay safe out there. I'll see you all in the next announcement.♥️

@SunsetMercer Aww, thank you so much! It really did and I keep flicking between the slow burn moments and the moments they're in a relationship. They both melt my heart sometimes! 
            
            I have my fingers crossed too! Ahh, I'm so nervous! 
            
            No problem! It's honestly the only way for me to keep a straight thought these days. ♥️
