I posted another book poll/questionnaire chapter in "Sunset Boulevard" late last night. Just like the previous one, 'Compassionate & True', ALL of my sweet, sincere, boundary-respecting audience members who ARE fully caught up & invested in at least 2 of my current fanfic projects {"The Scarlet Start", "More Than Fate", etc.} CAN read & engage with this chapter from start to finish, even if they haven't gotten the chance to start reading SB from its start just yet. <3 @MDjarin17 @AthenaPersephone9 @SkullantacySmith @Dandan0_3 @Marie_jkkkkkkk @UrGirlADHD @starisdepressed @E_Walsh
          ~ ~ ~
          The only other steadfast conditions I have for anyone who wants to read the new chapter, 'Come What May', are the following-
          
          ~ You must FULLY read & engage with the previous chapter, 'Compassionate & True', BEFORE diving into the newly posted one.
          
          ~ If you ARE reading these chapters, you MUST intend on reading "Sunset Boulevard" in its ENTIRETY later on down the line.
          ~ ~ ~
          As always, I'm super psyched to hear everyone's thoughts, theories, & everything in between in this new chapter, & I hope you'll enjoy reading it just as much as I ADORED putting it together! <33
          
          Stay safe, stay hydrated, stay tuned for more updates from yours truly, & give yourself grace, no matter what trials & tribulations you might be going through. <333
          
          ~Love, Lizzie

Nice to meet you, Lizzie!
            :) okay! I don't know how far into your fanfics I'll end up reading-- not because I think they're not good, ofc. I'm sure they are! I'm just not good at sticking to one story lol. And yes, I will respect your boundries, of course.

            I hope you'll enjoy exploring whichever stories of mine strike your interest. ALL of my fanfics are completely fandom-blind friendly & if you aren't sure where to start, I'd be more than happy to give you a few recs out of my currently published projects to consider checking out! <333

          If you have *NOT* done so already, read & reply--sincerely & appropriately--to my 2 latest announcements as SOON as you have time & are in the RIGHT headspace to do so.
          
          I don't know if you've fully read a given announcement when you don't give a sincere, boundary-respecting reply to it.
          ~ ~ ~
          I've made myself, my requests, & my page boundaries *crystal-clear*. If you *CAN'T* understand & respect *ALL* of the above, my page is *NOT* for you. Plain & simple.
          
          It is *NOT* quantum physics.
          
          I have *NOT* made any unreasonable requests.
          
          I *AM* getting fed up with having to wait once in a bloody blue moon for new, sweet, sincere, boundary-abiding comment waves to pour in on my various works that I constantly pour my heart, mind, & soul into.
          
          I *DON'T* know what else to say to get my points across in a civil, assertive way.
          ~ ~ ~
          There, I've said my piece. And, hopefully, I won't have to repeat myself again--or, at the very least, not for a long time--because it's no fun for me or the select few darling sweetsparks of mine who *HAVE* been active members of my community through my latest highs & lows.

@SunsetMercer I'm sorry to hear this! It has to be frustrating to continually have to repeat the same thing over and over. I hope you get some sweet comments soon. I'm still struggling to find the time with all the planning and organising I'm doing to fill that hole for you. Fingers crossed I get a moment soon! ♥️

            Not quite 100% just yet, since my stupid runny nose is sticking around, & my voice hasn't fully recovered, but your girl's getting there, slowly but surely. <3

          My one-&-only announcement yesterday didn't get a single reply.
          
          It's been more than a week since the last time I got sweet, sincere, boundary-respecting comment waves on any of my stories.
          ~ ~ ~
          I'm currently working on the "SB" book poll chapter that I originally planned on posting as a New Year's Eve treat, which didn't end up happening due to me having been under the weather at the time.
          
          Hopefully, by the time I finish & post it later this evening, a decent handful of you will be ready to engage with it to the fullest.
          
          If you want to be one of those souls, I recommend finding time to catch up on the following projects-
          
          ~ "More Than Fate {Jasper Hale x OC}"
          
          ~ "Of Schemes & Sparks {Carlos De Vil x OC}"
          
          ~ "The Scarlet Start {Book I}" {My latest book; a fandom-blind friendly ASOUE adventure}
          
          ~ "Magic in the Making {Fred Weasley x OC}"
          
          ~ "Sunset's Graphics Vault II"
          ~ ~ ~
          I hope you guys understand where I'm coming from & respect what I've been doing my best to express. <3
          
          ~Love, Lizzie
          
          P.S. Please make sure to fully read my previous message when you have time & the right headspace for it. <3

@UrGirlADHD Yes, ma'am, I do, indeed, & I look forward to hearing more of your amazing thoughts, theories, & everything in between once *you* are rested & ready to return down my story-filled yellow brick road. <3333

            Yes, I've been eating & drinking plenty, as always, especially while nearing the end of the cold I caught at some point during this past holiday season.
            
            I'm not doing as amazing as I'd like to be doing emotionally & mentally, though, especially with the absence of sweet, sincere, boundary-respecting comment waves over the past several days, as well as the lack of replies to my latest announcement, which I posted 9 hours ago.

          As soon as you have time & are in the right headspace to do so, please, for the love of everything good & decent, catch up on my projects' current chapters. <3
          
          Just to be clear, no one is being singled out with that. Many of you have fallen behind in reading a hefty number of your girl's current adventures, from "More Than Fate" & "The Scarlet Start" to "Vault II" & "Sunset Boulevard". It's just a fact, nothing more, nothing less. <3
          ~ ~ ~
          And, if you're among the few who have already finished reading the current chapters of every project of mine that's caught your interest, I dearly hope you'll consider giving the others a whole-hearted chance! <33
          
          As I've said time & time again, *ALL* of my fanfics are completely fandom-blind friendly, *NONE* of 'em have explicit sensual content, & *EVERY* single one of 'em has a sweet-as-sugar balance of platonic & romantic dynamics for your reading enjoyment! <333
          ~ ~ ~
          There is *NO* shame in needing to ask me a question or two about *ANY* of my projects, boundaries, etc. I'm here, happy to help, as long as you make sure to do so respectfully & appropriately! <3
          
          Sincere comment waves are encouraged, newcomers to my adventures are welcome, & boundary-respecters are appreciated more than this girl's heart can express! <333
          ~ ~ ~
          Now, with all that jazz in mind, let's start this year off right, yeah? <3

          Unfortunately, I haven't quite left this stupid cold behind me, but I think--& hope--I'm almost there.
          ~ ~ ~
          I've just finished editing & re-posting the 'Intro' & 'Prologue' chapters in "Of Schemes & Sparks", so I've at least achieved something on the writing side of things.
          
          And, fingers crossed, tomorrow I'll be able to start '26 off right by finishing & posting the following chapters:
          
          ~ "Of Schemes & Sparks" 'Chapter 1: Beyond the Barrier' & 'Chapter 2: Roommate 101'
          
          ~ "More Than Fate" 'Chapter 13: Deserved Delights'
          
          ~ "Toil & Trouble" 'Tonight'
          
          ~ "From Shadows to Starlight" 'A Lovely Time for Misfit Toys {Part 1}'
          ~ ~ ~
          Thank you, once again, for your continued grace & patience regarding delays in new chapters, comment replies, etc. <33
          
          May 2026 be much kinder to all of us in our various endeavors on & offline. Sending hopes of good health, lovely company, delicious treats, beautiful memory-making, & magical adventures to each & every one of you. <333

          So, it seems that the universe is NOT leaning in your girl's favor presently.
          
          The writing & chapter-posting goals I'd hoped to achieve yesterday--Sunday--were knocked out of reach thanks to whatever the hell I've fallen under the weather with.
          
          So, thanks to that sudden pile of dragon crap, I didn't get a single bit of writing, let alone brainstorming, done yesterday. Which, as you guys can likely imagine--knowing me--has yours truly feeling worse for wear than I already do.
          ~ ~ ~
          While I work on getting back to 100%, I'm to *try* to limit my time online & focus on relaxing, recovering, & cuddling close with my darling Molly. <3

          Since I won't be in the right headspace to verbally engage with any of you until I return to my healthy, misery-free self, most of my time online will just be spent keeping an eye on my notifs--to ensure that ALL of my boundaries are being respected in full--and reading any new comment waves that get shot my way, in order to raise my spirits & see what thoughts, theories, & everything in between that you lovely lot have to share regarding my various adventures. <33
          ~ ~ ~
          Once I DO reach 100%, or, at the very least, a decent halfway point, I'll return to writing, as well as the slow & steady process of my comment wave & message reply catch-up spree. <3
          
          Until we speak again, I wish you all a beautiful night & sweet-as-sugar dreams. Stay safe out there, my darling sweetsparks. <333

@SkullantacySmith Yeah, a tricky task, but one I've been fairly successful in, regardless. <333
            
            I did, indeed, &, as usual, my adorable Molly was a great help. <3333
