Hoping everyone's weekend is off to a beautiful start! <33
          ~ ~ ~
          Current status-
          
          ~ Still fully caught up on reading & replying to SoC comments.
          
          ~ Haven't made any new chapter rough draft progress YET. There's still plenty of hours left in my day for that to change.
          ~ ~ ~
          I'd like to extend yet another thank-you to my darling sweetsparks--Elaine, Eggy, & Ra-Ra--for their delightfully insightful waves of thoughts, theories, & everything else of the sort on "Storms of Change" & "More Than Fate"! <333
          
          Seeing the abundant adoration for the start of Lorelai Halloway's adventures & the continuous enthusiasm for Ms. Mackenzie Forge's saga is IMMENSELY encouraging & I'm endlessly thankful for every bit of your sincere, boundary-respecting support! <3333
          ~ ~ ~
          If you have *NOT* done so already, please make sure to carefully read & reply to my last announcement; it contains the remarkable bouts of progress I made yesterday & an important 'going-the-extra-mile' way that you guys can help spread the word about SoC, if you feel so inclined! <33333
          
          One thing I forgot to put in that announcement, though, regarding the latter information, is that checking the 'Announce to followers' button, like I do for all of my announcements, would *increase* the reach of your word-spreading contributions tenfold. <3
          ~ ~ ~
          As always, stay safe, stay hydrated, & stay tuned for more updates throughout the day! <33
          
          ~All of my love, Lizzie

Well, my darlings, we're nearing the end of what has been a satisfyingly sweet & productive day! <33
          ~ ~ ~
          ~ I've just finished reading & replying to *ALL* current comment waves on "Storms of Change".
          
          ~ Throughout the day, I successfully typed up & sent off the reading catch-up lists that were kindly requested by a few of my beloved sweetsparks.
          
          ~ Earlier, I was able to debut SoC's prologue & 'Act I' chapters without any fuss.
          
          ~ And, last, but certainly not least, I made a little bit more progress in writing the *rough draft* for Ch. 1 of SoC! <333
          ~ ~ ~
          If any of you would like to help spread the word about my latest project, "Storms of Change {Henry Mills x OC}" through a public announcement on your message board, you *have* my permission to do so as long as you *abide* by the guidelines listed below-
          
          ~ Only do it on *your* message board. I do *NOT* condone posting unsolicited promos *anywhere* on others' pages.
          
          ~ You are *NOT* obligated to do this, and I *only* expect those of you who are *sincerely* interested in Lorelai's saga to consider doing it.
          
          ~ Make sure to *tag* me, so I can see the shout-out & thank you personally.
          
          ~ *Don't* forget to include my *boundary-respecting* policy & that the book is *fandom-blind friendly* somewhere in the post.
          
          ~ Anything else you include in the shout-out is up to you; sincere & respectful thoughts on the book, what measure of intrigue you believe it holds, etc.
          
          Like I said, it's just a going-the-extra-mile way to help your girl out by spreading the word about one of my books. <33
          ~ ~ ~
          This is my last announcement for the night. I'll be back online tomorrow with more status updates, awake & ready to answer questions, reply to any new comment waves, & just be here with all of you. <333
          
          Good night, & may your dreams be sweet. <3333
          
          ~Love you now, love you always, Lizzie

Happy Friday, folks! <33
          ~ ~ ~
          I've just debuted the next 2 intro chapters of "Storms of Change {Henry Mills x OC}"! <333
          
          Yes, I was originally going to wait until I finished writing Ch. 1, so I could debut all 3 chapters in a nice little back-to-back row, but writer's block has crept up on me again, so I need to step away from that rough draft for a little while. <3
          ~ ~ ~
          Until inspiration comes back to me for that, I'm going to eat lunch & fully catch up on the current SoC comment waves, as well as the most recent comment waves on "More Than Fate". <33
          
          After that, I'm going to balance my focus between a few of my *other* projects' upcoming chapters. <333
          ~ ~ ~
          Right now, I'm HOPING--fingers crossed--that I'll at least be able to finish writing a few rough drafts before I go to bed tonight. <3
          
          If I manage to achieve that, I'll be able to edit & post those chapters throughout the weekend! <3333
          ~ ~ ~
          Well, I'm pretty sure that covers all of my current updates. Please make sure to *fully* read & reply to my last announcement if you *haven't* already! <33
          
          Looking forward to seeing my audience in "Storms of Change" grow! <333
          
          Stay safe, stay hydrated, & don't forget to be respectful of *ALL* my page-wide boundaries! <33333
          
          ~Love, Lizzie Lupin

If Book 1 of my OUAT series has your interest in the *slightest*, you'll want to take in my status update regarding "Storms of Change" below! <33
          ~ ~ ~
          I've just finished writing the *rough drafts* for SoC's next 2 chapters. To *avoid* falling back into writer's block/burnout territory, I'm going to step offline for a few hours & enjoy a nice little break. <3
          
          Then, once I feel energized again, I'll finish & edit those 2 chapters, as well as Ch. 1, & post 'em for your reading entertainment! <33
          ~ ~ ~
          Last, but certainly not least, either *later tonight* after dinner or *early* tomorrow once I'm fully awake, I will resume catching up on reading & replying to your comment waves. <333
          ~ ~ ~
          Regarding "Storms of Change {Henry Mills x OC}", I ask the points below of *EVERYONE*-
          
          ~ Consider giving it a fair chance once you're *FULLY* caught up on reading the current chapters of my projects that you've *already* dived into. {Per usual, if you need a reading catch-up list from me, all you have to do is ask.}
          
          ~ Don't forget, just like *ALL* of my other fanfics--"Magic in the Making", "Of Schemes & Sparks", "More Than Fate", "The Scarlet Start", etc.--SoC and its future installments *ARE* fandom-blind friendly. Theatre kid's honor!
          
          ~ Yes, it *IS* Mature-rated, just like TSS & QC. However, just like those books, the adult rating is *NOT* because of any sensual/smut content. I've put 'Mature' in place because SoC & the rest of Half A Heart will contain *graphic & melancholy* elements in various capacities throughout the *entire* saga.
          
          ~ I'm *IMMENSELY* grateful to every *genuine* soul who gives my new adventure a chance. If you end up enjoying the ride, AMAZING; it'd be lovely to have you by my side. If it doesn't end up keeping your interest, fair enough. There are plenty of other fandom-blind friendly books on my page for you to check out.
          ~ ~ ~
          Please *DON'T* hesitate to reach out if you've got questions for me about my boundaries and/or books. <3
          
          ~Love, Lizzie

Good morning/afternoon/evening, my darlings! <33
          ~ ~ ~
          I've just debuted the first *4* intro chapters of my latest project, "Storms of Change {Henry Mills x OC}"; Book 1 of Half A Heart!!! <3333
          ~ ~ ~
          Originally, I planned on holding off on its debut until after completing "Vault II", but since I've hit a nasty bout of writer's block with that book's finale, I decided to publish the chapter's I've worked hard at crafting & editing for the past week or so, give or take. <3
          ~ ~ ~
          I hope everyone will give this new adventure a fair chance, &, as always, I look forward to your lovely, boundary-abiding comment waves on it once *you* are fully prepared to dive in! <33333
          ~ ~ ~
          Fair warning- I *WILL* be offline intermittently for the next few hours, since I need to get ready to head out to the movie theater with my dad, and still need to eat lunch. <3
          
          So, if any messages and/or comment waves you shoot my way don't get very fast responses during the next half of the day, you've got a good idea why. <33
          ~ ~ ~
          Please make sure to respect *ALL* of my established boundaries at *ALL* times, no matter where you are on my page. <3
          ~ ~ ~
          With all of that jazz out of the way, I hope you'll enjoy my take on Storybrooke & welcome Ms. Lorelai Halloway into your hearts as I have. <3333
          
          ~Love you 3000, Lizzie Lupin

Good evening! If you *haven't* already, please fully read & reply to my previous announcement once you have a good window of time & the proper headspace to! <3
          ~ ~ ~
          Upcoming Book Updates-
          
          - In a few hours, give or take, you will *FINALLY* be getting the 2-chapter finale of "Vault II"! <333
          
          - Then, later tonight, I will be *debuting* Book 1 of Half A Heart--my Once Upon A Time saga--"Storms of Change {Henry Mills x OC}"! You guys will *most likely* have the first 7-8 chapters of it to enjoy tonight! <3333
          ~ ~ ~
          Now, two important questions for everyone-
          
          1) Who, out of my *interested* audience members, *IS* alright with me potentially dedicating some "Storms of Change" chapters to 'em?
          
          2) Does *anyone* need me to make them a *reading catch-up list* of my *currently published* books that they've been enjoying, but have *NOT* fully caught up on yet? {If so, please let me know so I can set aside time to type up a list for you.}
          ~ ~ ~
          I don't have any other updates right now. My next announcement won't be made until after I finish & debut the final 2 chapters of my 2nd Graphics Vault. <3
          
          As always, stay safe, stay hydrated, & have a gorgeous day/night! <33
          
          ~Love you 3000, Lizzie
          
          P.S. Due to the recent site-wide phishing attempts from various sketchy accounts, I'm *NOT* able to include a taglist in my announcements anymore.

Hi, everyone. Yes, your girl is *officially* back from hiatus. <3
          ~ ~ ~
          Unfortunately, I *think* Wattpad's acting up again.
          
          So, about an hour or two ago, I came back online & started replying to a few of your messages here on my board.
          
          But, when I refreshed the page, every reply I wrote & sent was *gone*. I tried refreshing my page a few more times; nothing. Logged out of my account, waited a few minutes, and signed back in. Still nothing.
          ~ ~ ~
          These are the sweetsparks I sent message replies to- Elaine {@AthenaPersephone9}, Bell {@sfridley}, Deliah {@SkullantacySmith}, & Ra-Ra {@B1ana_Vack3r}.
          
          If the four of you could check your notifications & see if my replies made it to you, I'd be *immensely* grateful. <33
          
          If you *did* receive my replies, you know the drill; carefully read & reply to 'em when you have a decent window of time & are in the right headspace to respond.
          
          However, if my message replies did *NOT* reach you, please let me know ASAP so I can try to resend 'em. *ALL* of my messages contained important info, & I'd like to get this issue taken care of before the end of the night. <3
          ~ ~ ~
          Per usual, if anyone has genuine, respectful, & appropriate questions to voice regarding *any* of my currently published projects and/or page-wide boundaries, please reach out to me, & I'll gladly help to the best of my ability. <33
          ~ ~ ~
          I made a fair bit of project progress during my hiatus, despite some crappy things that happened on & offline throughout it, so--if all goes nicely enough-- you guys will be getting some sweet bouts of new content from yours truly in the days ahead. <333
          ~ ~ ~
          Stay safe, stay hydrated! I hope everyone had a BEAUTIFUL Pride Month! <3333
          
          ~Love, Lizzie Lupin

Hi there <3
          
          I hope your hiatus is going well and you are having a safe, healthy, and happy time off the app.
          
          Excited to see you when you get back and take care of yourself :)

I hope your hiatus is going well, you’re eating and drinking.
          I love you <33

Hi, angel! I just wanted to stop in and say that I hope your hiatus is going well. And I hope that you’re able to make some good writing progress! ♡
          A little update on my situation, my mental health is starting to get better. I’m almost at the point where I can read and leave genuine, heartfelt comments on your works and I can’t wait for when I *do* get to that point!
          Love from my side of the universe,
          ♡ Bell
