ATTENTION, SWEETSPARKS! @MDjarin17 @AthenaPersephone9 @SkullantacySmith @Dandan0_3 @Marie_jkkkkkkk @UrGirlADHD @starisdepressed @eggywegggyi2 @E_Walsh @sfridley ~ ~ ~ Week 1 of my hiatus is drawing closer to an end. Unfortunately, I've noticed that only 2 of you replied to my sign-off announcement last Monday, &, only 1 of you has used my hiatus as time to catch up on any of my books thus far. ~ ~ ~ So, with that said, as well as taking my current physical, mental, & emotional batteries into account, I've decided to extend my hiatus. Instead of returning from it on 3/9, I will be back online with all of you darling souls starting on Wednesday, March 11th {aka, me & my Nana's birthday}. *You'll see that I updated that change in my bio.* ~ ~ ~ I wish you all good health, lovely company, ever-enchanting adventures, & gorgeous goal achievements. <333 May you use the rest of my hiatus wisely. <3333 Until the 11th, I bid you adieu. <33333 ~Forever yours, Lizzie Lupin P.S. Please don't forget that I never know if you've fully read an announcement unless you give a genuine, boundary-abiding reply. Make sure to read my previous announcement as soon as you have time & the right headspace. <3

@SunsetMercer Take as much time as you need. I hope to brighten your day a little bit this week with some comment waves before work starts up again. Enjoy your time away and fingers crossed your batteries are recharged when you decide to come back. Enjoy your time with your family and your nana! ♥️

@SunsetMercer Hi my lovely♡ I apologize. Aside from things tying up with my story, I've had some personal things happening outside of this app and those have taken a lot of my focus. Catching up on all my reads has been a process, but please know it's not that I'm ignoring your works. I just unfortunately have a limited amount of focus at the moment. And I don't like to read things if my focus isn't there. It isn't fair to the author I'm trying to support. So, I do promise to catch up, but it might be a few more days before I have some time to truly focus. I hope your hiatus starts giving you a mental reprieve and you get some well deserved rest♡ ♡always, Dani

@SunsetMercer Oh, bugger, yet I understand. At the same time, it shall be all the more reason to properly celebrate your return, my darling Lizzie Love. I hope you do continue to enjoy your respite! I am working diligently to catch up on a few of my own things and such and then I shall be diving into your worlds once more so I can leave you so many comment waves while you are gone! I miss you!

Alright, my darlings. It's time... @MDjarin17 @AthenaPersephone9 @SkullantacySmith @Dandan0_3 @Marie_jkkkkkkk @UrGirlADHD @starisdepressed @eggywegggyi2 @E_Walsh @sfridley ~ ~ ~ *ALWAYS read CAREFULLY & reply in a SINCERE, RESPECTFUL manner.* This is my official pre-hiatus sign-off. As of right now, I won't be back from hiatus until March 9th. Just like my previous hiatuses, if I need to extend it, I *WILL* pop on here & announce the change. ~ ~ ~ During this hiatus, I will be recharging my mental, physical, emotional, & creative batteries. As well as spending much-needed quality time with my family, especially my Nana, since her condition is still uncertain. And, of course, when I am in the proper headspace to do so, I will be happily writing highly anticipated chapters & brainstorming for my current & future works. ~ ~ ~ While I will *NOT* be online here with all of you sweet-as-snickerdoodles souls, I *WILL* be able to read every new, beautiful, boundary-abiding comment wave you leave on my projects as the given wave shows up in my phone's inbox! ~ ~ ~ I expect & trust that *ALL* of you will continue to abide by my established, crystal-clear, page-wide boundaries at *ALL* times when I'm gone, just like you do when I'm present. They apply to *ALL* of my books, as well as this handy-dandy message board! ~ ~ ~ My hiatus is 3 weeks long. That means you guys are getting 3 whole weeks--21 DAYS--to catch up on whichever books of mine have struck your interest, give my other published projects a chance, and/or re-read favorites *WITHOUT* having to worry about new chapters being added to your respective catch-up stacks. {*ALL* of my fanfics *ARE* fandom-blind friendly} I hope that you guys will use this time wisely. You're a gorgeous/dapper, clever, & endlessly creative bunch. You have my unconditional respect, trust, & adoration. Please *DON'T* give me *ANY* reason to regret that. ~ ~ ~ Until we meet again. <333 ~All of my love, Lady Lizzie Lupin

@SunsetMercer Enjoy your hiatus! Take as much time as you need to recharge and reignite the creative spark. I'm looking forward to everything you have in store for us.

This is the *FINAL* day before I leave on hiatus, my loves! <3 @MDjarin17 @AthenaPersephone9 @SkullantacySmith @Dandan0_3 @Marie_jkkkkkkk @UrGirlADHD @starisdepressed @eggywegggyi2 @E_Walsh @sfridley ~ ~ ~ Once I make my sign-off announcement later this evening, I will *NOT* be back until Monday, March 9th! ~ ~ ~ As I said earlier this week, use the time while I'm *still* online wisely! If you have *ANY* questions regarding my established page-wide boundaries, ask them! If you need a reading catch-up list, let me know! If you'd like me to give you 1 or more book recs out of my currently published projects, do *NOT* hesitate to reach out! ~ ~ ~ The day *IS* going to fly by faster than you think. Do *NOT* waste it. ~Love, Lizzie

@SunsetMercer I wish I was online with you before this, but I hope all of my messages on your board cheer you up when you return from your hiatus. Hopefully, I'll be able to catch up on Kenzie's story this half-term while you're on hiatus.

I highly advise that you use this time while I'm still online with you wisely. <3 Also, if you haven't done so already, please make sure to *CAREFULLY* read & reply to my 'Friendly Reminders' announcement from Thursday! <33 ~ ~ ~ That's all for now, my loves.

@sfridley Oh, that's right, you did read all of OS&S' intro chapters. Sorry, that was my mistake. I've been a little scatter-brained lately. <3 I hope you'll enjoy Chapter 1 once you're ready to dive back into Elodie's world! <33 ~Love, Lizzie

Friendly reminders:
~ Today is Thursday {2/12}. I will be starting my hiatus on Monday {2/16}. This means that anyone who needs a catch-up list, would like a book rec or two from me out of my currently published projects, etc. *BEFORE* March 9th *ONLY* has until my hiatus sign-off *THIS* Sunday evening to send the given message(s) my way.
~ Lovely, sincere, boundary-abiding comment waves are *FOREVER* appreciated & encouraged on *ALL* of my books. They give me *PHENOMENAL* feedback from you, my audience members, show that you are *GENUINELY* invested in the projects I share, & ignite my inspiration & motivation better than *ANY* match.
~ If *ANYONE* has legitimate, respectful questions to voice regarding my established boundaries, current books, *AND/OR* future projects, all they have to do is ask, & I'll be *MORE* than happy to answer 'em as soon as I have a suitable window of time & the right headspace to do so.
~ ~ ~
Stay safe wherever you are. Stay hydrated as best as you can. Stay tuned for more updates from yours truly. Keep your gorgeous, tiara/flower crown-adorned heads held high. <333
~Love, in every lifetime & universe, Lizzie

@SunsetMercer I hope your hiatus is going well since you posted this. Thank you for the update and reminder. Hopefully, I can get some reading done this week since I have the week off, but I won't make any promises as there is the odd thing to do this week offline. Fingers crossed though because I miss reading about Kenzie! ♥️

@eggywegggyi2 Hiya, love! Fingers crossed that it'll be a sweetly satisfying one! <3 Great question, & I'm so glad you've enjoyed "The Scarlet Start" thus far!!! <33 Honestly, I'm not quite sure how soon 'Chapter 1: Calm As Clockwork' will be finished & debuted. I'm *hoping* to be able to post it, along with *MANY* other highly anticipated chapters within the first few days after my hiatus ends, fingers crossed. But, those are just goals I'm hoping to achieve, not guarantees. <3 Once again, I'm over the moon that TSS has caught your interest so much already, & it's always a treat to have you along for the various wild rides of my adventures that are right up your alley! <3333 Thank you kindly, sir! I hope you've had a beautiful Valentine's Day with your loved ones, too! <33333 ~Forever yours, Lizzie Lupin

Please make sure you *FULLY READ & REPLY TO* yesterday's announcement as soon as you have the time & headspace to do so! It has *VERY IMPORTANT* information regarding the hiatus I've mentioned recently & a More Than Anything saga-centric question for my beloved Fate-Weavers! Thus far, only 2 sweet souls have replied to it. <3 @MDjarin17 @AthenaPersephone9 @SkullantacySmith @Dandan0_3 @Marie_jkkkkkkk @UrGirlADHD @starisdepressed @eggywegggyi2 @E_Walsh @sfridley ~Love, Lizzie

Listen up, my darlings! Some important decisions have been made! <3 @MDjarin17 @AthenaPersephone9 @SkullantacySmith @Dandan0_3 @Marie_jkkkkkkk @UrGirlADHD @starisdepressed @eggywegggyi2 @E_Walsh @sfridley ~ ~ ~ First & foremost, my hiatus. Starting on Monday, February 16th, I will be taking a hiatus from my page. <3 At the moment, I'm planning on coming back from the hiatus above on Monday, March 9th. <3 This way, I'll still be active on here with all of you for the rest of this week, especially with Valentine's Day right around the corner, & I'll be back from my hiatus before my birthday- Wednesday, March 11th. <33 ~ ~ ~ Before my next hiatus begins, I'm HOPING to give you guys plenty of new content to enjoy during my absence, as well as any of my currently published chapters you're catching up on. <3 If all goes according to plan, my beloved fanfics & respective collections will be getting quite a bit of love throughout the rest of this week. <33 ~ ~ ~ Now, I have an important question for my darling Fate-Weavers {invested audience members of MTA}. ~ Would you be interested in me adding an 'Act I' chapter in between "More Than Fate"'s prologue & Chapter 1, or do you want me to save that type of chapter addition for Book 2, "More Than Friends", instead, & why? *You know the drill; give as much reasoning as you're comfortable with & answer in an honest, respectful manner. <3* ~Love, Lizzie
SkullantacySmith
@SunsetMercer I hope the hiatus goes well for you and you're able to relax a bit offline. I apologise for not being around the last week before you went on hiatus. As for the question, I'm kind of borderline on it. So long as it serves a purpose to the overall story, then absolutely go ahead with it. It would also act (no pun intended) as a good reference to their theatre kid personalities too.

@SunsetMercer My days are all blurring together with the work I'm doing on this new show... I love it but I hate it as well. I feel like a rubbish mum and friend of late because I'm just more busy and in my head than I'd like to be... I'll find the balance. I'll straighten that tiara eventually. Adore you always, ~Eve

@E_Walsh Thank you so much, darling. That type of reassurance means everything, especially with, as you said, the obstacles I've been dealing with personally & creatively lately. <33 It's lovely--as always--to hear from you again, & I dearly hope that things haven't been too stressful for you & your beloved mini-Avengers. <333 Fingers crossed that the rest of this week will be beautiful for both of us. <3333 Fair enough, sweetheart. I'll think it over & see what I can do. <3 In the meantime, I hope the rest of your day is filled with magical adventures, whether they're of the reading sort, writing variety, or a bit of both. <33 May you & yours stay safe, stay hydrated, & keep your beautiful, tiara/flower crown-adorned heads held high. <333 ~Forever yours, Lizzie-Love
