@Striderwitch
Good morning, my little bookworms!
I’ve gotten such incredible feedback on the latest Knightfall chapters, and I just want to say, the story is far from over. We still have a long road ahead, and things are about to get… complicated.
I’m dropping two new chapters today, and I have a feeling they might make you rethink everything you thought you knew about Knightfall.
Stay sane.

Hi darling!
I just wanted to reach out and say that you are an amazing writer, I’ve been on Wattpad for years and have only read a handful of books I truly loved throughout the entirety of them, and now I can add yours to the list! The only issue I had was that Ava took way too long to realise that Seb was the only one for her
But anyways I just wanted to let you know, keep doing what you’re doing and maybe one day your books will end up being sold out and in a book shop
@BlowMyBackOutDaddy Ahaha don’t worry, I like criticism, and thank you so much for your kind words! Spite was my first real attempt at writing in first person, so a lot of it was me experimenting and learning as I went. I was frustrated with Ava too while writing her sometimes, but I also feel like the characters start writing themselves after a while. Avelina is stubborn by nature, once she’s decided something, she digs her heels in. That’s a big part of why it takes her so long. I also don’t think Ava really knows what love is, not in a healthy way. She didn’t grow up with much of it, so letting herself feel that deeply for someone like Sebastian feels… foolish to her. Unsafe. So she resists, even when it hurts. But I totally get what you mean, it definitely took them a while xD I’d absolutely love to write an actual book one day. Writing fanfics has helped me so much, because it lets me play, I can write what I want: funny chapters, spicy chapters, long, short, messy, self-indulgent… and not stress too much about “rules.” One day, when I finally do write a real book, I’ll definitely let everyone here know. Hugs n kisses <3
I just realised they don’t let emojis on messages appear (Rude), wanted to make it clear that my issue had a laughing face emoji next to it so I didn’t seem like an asshole lmao
Hear ye, hear ye!
As a little treat for getting Knightfall just a few reads away from 20k (!!!) I’m dropping FOUR chapters today.
And yes… you guessed it. One of them is your first real taste of spice.
So get comfy, put the playlist on, read in peace (and preferably alone), and brace yourselves—
It’s about to get intense in here.

@Striderwitch That's absolutely amazing ❣️Ur story has been on my tbr list for soooooo long ~ I'll just start now nd support for you reaching this big goal ✨
I have a question about, “Strife”. I’ve finished the book, and am currently in the 2nd chapter of Oblivion.
My question is… What happened to Natty, or Poppy? They were good friends with MC in fifth year of Hogwarts Legacy. But they are never mentioned in Strife? What happened?
Or what about all the animals collected in the vivariums, in the Room Of Requirement? Were they abandoned?
I may be looking into a bit much, but I’m curious…
@JorjaaaaM20 Thank you so much!! And haha, I accidentally caught your earlier message (whoops), and I totally get what you mean. I always make each MC their own person and I love introducing non-canon elements. Ava in Spite is meant to be very isolated, with Vivienne as pretty much her only real friend, so yeah, she’s definitely fallen out of touch with others. Same way the MC in Hogwarts Legacy isn’t actually Professor Black’s niece, but in my stories… I bend things to fit the vibe and the character. I just really enjoy making stuff up and reshaping the world a bit. I’m so happy you’re enjoying them <3
Ahh, okay the book is GREAT btw. One of the best pieces of literature I’ve ever read, on Wattpad!!!
@JorjaaaaM20 Hello! Great question. The short version is that five years have passed, and a lot can change in five years. People fall out of touch, priorities shift, and yes, perhaps some animals were released back into the wild during that time. It isn’t spelled out in detail because this book keeps a tight focus on the romance and central plot. In Avelina’s close POV you only hear what’s front-of-mind for her right now. If she isn’t actively thinking about old friends (or certain side threads), they won’t surface on the page. I totally get the confusion, consider it intentional time-skip haze. Life moved on during her years away, and we’re catching up alongside her. <3
I really wish someone would create a hogwarts legacy/Sebastian Sallow inspired tattoo
I haven’t long started your work Spite and it’s absolutely incredible! I have been wanting to dive into FanFics made for Sebastian Sallow since replaying HL again.
have just read chapter 29 and may I say….wow . I couldn’t put it down I was hooked, an amazing slow burn from enemies to acquaintances to enemies again and possible lovers!
I cannot wait to continue and read your other works also
I’m so glad this reached you! I have been writing this year myself but a walking dead fanfic but have come to a jolt unfortunately now I have finished the series and not watching it anymore I have lost motivation to write it at the moment due to being in another mode like Harry Potter/HL lately haha :) x
@xoshannonrosexo Aww, this is so sweet, thank you! I wrote Spite over a year ago and started posting it earlier this year. I’ve learned so much since writing it, but it’ll always have a special place in my heart. I’m genuinely honoured that people enjoy it. Thank you for taking the time to tell me, messages like this mean the world and keep me writing. Can’t wait to see your notifications pop up, I’ll be looking out for them. ;)
ATTENTION, my chaos gremlins—
Knightfall just hit 10k overnight (who let that happen??). To say thank you, I’m doing a double drop today: two chapters, and one of them is longer, and a very juicy sneak peek you’ve been begging for.
Hydrate. Brace yourselves. See you in the comments in a few.
Hugs n kisses,
/ Strider
Hey babes!
Knightfall is about to hit 10k (?!), which is wild. For newcomers: new chapters land daily, and—without spoilers—we’re inching toward the “things actually happen” zone (gasp). It’s a slow burn, though, so “closer” is… relative. I’m also doing a light typo sweep on Spite and Oblivion soon—did a quick pass on Imperio and Passion earlier, but Spite hasn’t had a polish since I wrote it. If you see updates, that’s why—plot stays the same. You’re all too good at catching weird sentences, so now I actually have to fix them xD
Always,
/ Strider
Happy Halloween, lovelies!
Technically the spooky day was yesterday here, but it’s Saturday—so I’m keeping the celebration going.
As a little treat I’m dropping two extra-long chapters of Knightfall today. Expect swoony, tense, can’t-look-away moments—the kind that keep you glued to the screen. Can’t wait to hear what you think.
Also—50K reads on Spite?!
I’m honestly speechless. I have no idea how it blew up like this, but I am so, so grateful to every single one of you who read, commented, voted, and shared. Your messages—calling it one of the best things you’ve read, sending screenshots, leaving thoughts—have left me in actual tears. This story was a labour of love and I can’t believe you let it into your days.
Love,
/ Strider
Good day to you Knightfall lovers!
4K reads in about a week?! I’m stunned, thrilled, and crying glitter. To say thank you I’m dropping three chapters today — and Chapter 23 is a little… well, let’s just say… claustrophobic.
Can’t wait to hear which line makes you swoon.
xo,
