Whoa! I just saw the new drop. 
          
          What does this 2026 version of WFU encompass? What can we expect?

            Ouuuuu
            
            I can’t wait to read the new version. I do remember thinking that Hyun’s involvement did feel sudden. I think I read one of your comments saying something along those lines too?? 
            
            Wow wow wow! What a treat!

This revision includes minor to moderate changes focused on strengthening continuity, pacing, cultural accuracy, and character development. The relationships between Alex, Chan, Hyunjin, and the rest of the group will develop more naturally, with earlier groundwork added so the trio involvement no longer feel sudden.

I had been thinking a lot about My Pace when I saw the SWM update.  
          
          I had been thinking through the story and how I imagined it the very first time I read through the chapters. I am so in with all the images that your writing conjured in my mind. It’s still one of my favorite Hyun stories that I’ve read.  
          
          I hope this finds you well, girly pop. <3

Thank you!!! I’m about to do an overhaul update on W4U and SWM so I can break down into something less monstrous.  It’ll be a trilogy!

Hey loves,
          
          I just wanted to pop in and give everyone a little life update because I know I’ve been quieter than usual. Life has very much been lifing lately, and apparently it came with a full orchestra, backup dancers, and a smoke machine.
          
          Poly dating is already no joke, especially when you’re still newer to it and figuring out how to balance emotions, schedules, communication, and being a functional human being at the same time. On top of that, work has been absolutely insane. I swear the second the weather got hot, the universe opened the “release the chaos gremlins” cage and sent every single one of them directly to my job.
          
          And because the weather has been nice, family has also been coming and going out of state a lot, so there’s been a lot happening on that front too. Between work, relationships, family, and just trying to keep myself from turning into a burnt piece of toast, I haven’t had the time or energy to write the way I want to.
          
          I’m not abandoning anything. I’m still here, still thinking about my stories, still loving them, and still grateful for all of you. I just needed to be honest that my brain has been running on fumes lately. Thank you for being patient with me, for sticking around, and for giving me room to be a person outside of the words on the page.
          
          Hopefully things calm down soon and I can get back into the writing cave where I belong. Preferably with snacks, caffeine, and fewer emotional side quests.

Hey loves 
          
          Tiny update from me because today turned into A Whole Thing.
          
          I was supposed to go to court this morning to support someone, but I woke up extremely sick and ended up throwing up on and off for hours. It got bad enough that I had to go in and get checked out, but thankfully everything looked okay. They gave me an anti-nausea shot, which helped a ton, and I’m home now resting.
          
          They did tell me to keep an eye on some lower pelvic pain just in case it turns into anything more serious, but for now I’m okay. Mostly exhausted, a little dramatic, and very personally offended by my own body. The stomach apocalypse was not on my schedule today, but apparently my body likes surprise plot twists.
          
          On a much happier note, I’ve officially started working on turning Waiting For Us into something I could potentially publish one day.
          
          It won’t be exactly the same story, obviously. Some things have to change, some things will grow into something new, and the original version will always have its own special place. But I’m honestly really excited about where it’s going. There’s something kind of terrifying and beautiful about taking a story that has meant so much to me and asking, “Okay… what could you become if you got to stand completely on your own?”
          
          So that’s where I’m at today: recovering, resting, drinking fluids like a sad little Victorian child, and slowly poking at the publishable version of Waiting For Us.
          
          Thank you for being patient with me, always. I love you guys, and I’m really excited to share more when I can.

Hey everyone!
          
          I wanted to give a quick update on my current fic plans and completion goals for the rest of this year and into next year.
          
          For the rest of this year, my planned completion order is:
          
          Legend of Asana: Inferno — Avatar: The Last Airbender
          This is my current top priority and should be completed this week.
          
          Merlin
          This will be one of the next fics I focus on finishing.
          
          Stranger Things
          Turned Upside Down is also planned for completion by the end of the year.
          
          Harry Potter
          Also part of the end-of-year completion goal.
          
          House of the Dragon
          Updates will most likely resume when season three is released.
          
          Looking further ahead:
          
          Supernatural — Current goal: 2027.
          Stray Kids — Orbiting Hearts Universe — Current goal: 2027.
          Game of Thrones — This accidentally turned into a massive project with a full lore bible, new characters, and a lot of worldbuilding. Current goal: 2027.
          Grey’s Anatomy — TBD, because there are so many seasons to work through.
          ATLA Graphic Novels / Legend of Korra — This depends on reader feedback. If people want the continuation, the rough goal is graphic novels by the end of 2026 and Legend of Korra by the end of 2027.
          
          For now, Destiny of Souls and Embers of Us are both on hiatus. That does not mean I hate them or will never return to them. They just are not the current priority.
          
          I am also trying very hard not to post any more WIPs until the end of the year. We will see how that goes with the ADHD, especially since Daredevil and Criminal Minds are already trying to drag me into side quests.
          
          Thank you all so much for your patience, comments, votes, reads, and encouragement. I know waiting for updates can be frustrating, so I really appreciate everyone who has stuck around while I try to get organized and finish what is already posted.
          
          Again.
          
          We will see how that goes. ❤️

Hey loves, here’s a proper writing update because my brain is currently juggling multiple universes at once and none of them know how to behave.
          
          I have ADHD, so I tend to go through writing binges depending on which fandom currently has me in a chokehold. That means I bounce around a lot, but I wanted to make a post showing exactly what I’m working on, what still needs editing, and what is going to take me a hot minute to finish.
          
          **Current Projects**
          
          **Orbiting Hearts Universe**
          
          * Hold My Hand (Minsung)
          * Hallucination (IN/OC)
          * As We Are (Seungmin/OC)
          * Second half of Stay With Me (OT8/OCs)
          
          **Baldur’s Gate**
          
          * The Saintsbane Cycle (Evil Durge/Ascended Astarion fic series)
          * Planned as 3 books
          
          **Harry Potter Fanfic Series — The Diana Prince Chronicles**
          
          * Currently on Chamber of Secrets
          * Planned as 3 books
          
          **Supernatural Fanfic Series — Nox Aveum**
          
          * Still in the OC origins starting point
          * Long way to go
          * Planned as around 4–5 books
          
          **Stranger Things Fanfic Series — Upside Down Sisters**
          
          * Currently around season 2/3
          * About 1.5 more books left
          
          **Merlin Fanfic Series — The Rise of Albion**
          
          * Currently on the last book
          
          **What’s Already Written But Needs Editing**
          
          * Merlin series
          * Hold My Hand
          
          Everything else is either being started from scratch or is still deep in development, so a lot of these are going to take me a while to finish. And that is not even including any new ideas that decide to worm their way into my brain uninvited like tiny little chaos demons with a lease agreement.
          
          Thank you all so much for being patient with me while I bounce between fandoms and projects. I promise the stories are still coming, even if my process sometimes looks like a bookshelf exploding in slow motion.

@Sillybeanns no truer words have been spoken. And after I wrote this message. ZUKO CAME IN SWINGING AND SMACKED ME IN THE FACE. SO we have an ATLA fic in progress now. Dusted off the old handwritten journal from my childhood I’ve been saving.

ADHD is synonymous with superpowers, right? I can only do one thing at a time and am steamrolled by decision fatigue constantly.

Are you going to update stay with me because hyunjin needs a baby 

StrongerThanILook

I plan to! I go through writing binges on different fandoms! I will get back to it. Just might be a bit!
            
            I have to finish the other three middle books for Minsung, IN and Seungmin and then I can get to Stay With Me! How I write those changes how Stay With Me goes! But I promise it will get finished!
