WEC is taken down for the foreseeable future, it needed to be done for my own sake of giving the project the attention it needs to be finished off. It will be reuploaded at some point.
          
          I'm starting to work on other camren fics atm, probably won't have anything new published until the end of the year at the earliest. 
          
          I will be mainly reading when I am on here, just putting this message out for anyone that stumbles across that I am still very much so active on this account and more content is coming soon.
          
          But I'm focused on reading and writing behind the scenes for a while, I need the mental reset. 
          
          I'm looking forward to coming back fully reset with fresh fics ✨
          
          Keep well and stay safe! ❤

A year ago to the date is when I first published BA31st which is crazyyyy, the fact it's close to 22k too is so fucking cool to see!
          
          Thank you to anyone who read/plans to read/ re-reads etc... it means the absolute world to me, this story will always hold a special place in my heart <3
          
          I will be releasing a bonus glimpse in the future chapter hopefully sometime this month as a little something which the real ones will see and read ;)
          
          I have other works planned, I'm not as talkative on here but I still check in a few times a week. I look forward to reading some fresh camren fics super soon! I'm so close to finishing WEC, at the finish line pretty much and plan to pick up reading a bit again.
          
          Getting back into writing has been amazing honestly, I hopefully plan to learn to edit a bit to help promo my stories on tt but we'll see if I actually stick by it lol 
          
          Anyway, seriously this story means so much to me and I will always take the opportunity to voice that. It isn't perfect but I love it sm and I am proud of it, it also isn't the end for that universe...
          
          A prequel is planned.
          
          I have 3 camren fics planned and OOF I am really excited to get stuck into those, not that anyone would notice much but I will not be active here as in putting out new stories for a little while once I finish WEC.
          
          I have discovered I do not like writing as I go and would much prefer to be hella backlogged/finish the entire fic before I publish it. 
          
          I'll probably drop another announcement soon when this actually begins and no one may read these things but I still like to pop in with the odd update/milestone talk. 
          
          Much love and stay safe!

OMG 20K reads on BA31st! O_O
          
          I know no one will probably read this but imma still yap on because this milestone in particular means so fucking much to me. For some reason when I got back into writing 20k was the number which became my ultimate goal.
          
          Why? I have no idea but I said 20k and stuck to it. I genuinely thought it would take a few years for one of my stories to reach that goal but I have been secretly hoping that BA hit it by the year mark of when I published the story.
          
          This is insane to me, I cannot believe I hit my ultimate goal for one story and honestly that genuinely is me so happy and over the moon that anything beyond that for any of my fics is literally just an added bonus. 
          
          This story was originally planned as a short story btw lol
          
          I am so grateful I didn't stick with the short story idea, I pushed myself so freaking much during that fic, I put my all into it and to see it being appreciated it genuinely is so fucking endearing and means so much to me. 
          
          Hitting this milestone has reminded me to never give up even when going through difficult spells like I have recently. I have been dealing with a lot of burn out but after a much needed reset and now this. I am so ready to kick myself up the ass and get my head back in the game. 
          
          Thank you to everyone who gave the story a chance, I hope you all enjoy(ed) reading it as much as I did writing it! 
          
          BTW Bonus chapter for BA will be dropping at some point as a special celebratory thanks and little glimpse into the future which serves as what a sequel could of looked like if I had chosen to write one. 
          
          Also, in coming months there will be a prequel release but that's all I'm gonna say for now ;)
          
          Thank you all so much, especially to those voting/commenting etc.. which keeps keep the book active.
          
          There's much more camren content to come! I will be taking a break from actively publishing anything once WEC is finished but I will be writing a lot behind the scenes and I am so excited! 
          
          -rain <3

So did anyone get any of the 5H merch? What are your thoughts?
          
          Personally I only copped a t-shirt because it was a nice stonewash colour and it's specially for the anniversary of my fav album but if it hadn't of been for the album I wouldn't of gotten anything.
          
          Also SUPER fucking expensive, the shipping was the same price as the shirt for me like wow lol 
          
          Anyone see Camila's story on insta though... (⊙ˍ⊙)

I cannot function in the heat. I am going through my THIRD FUCKING HEATWAVE within the past month or so and it's legit killing any motivation I have for writing or reading atm.
          
          I know it's dead socially on here and most people don't read these things but I actually miss being on track with updating and I miss reading sm honestly.
          
          Hoping to get back on track asap before I take my break off from writing soonish.
          
          fuck the heat, fuck humidity. My Irish ass cannot handle this (ㆆ_ㆆ)
          
          I want my below 10C and constant rain back pleaseeeee and thank you mother nature <3

This might be an controversial take but I think Camila's first album is her best honestly.
          
          I still love romance and cxoxo well I am trying to like but I don't think it's for me personally.
          
          Tbf though I think I listen to her first the most so I am holding a bias but idk with all the emotion from stuff with the girls, her and Lauren's connection breaking down and all she was going through I think it really fuelled a lyrical masterpiece.
          
          The songs are fucking beautiful, in ways I can't even describe the emotion that album elicits from me.
          
          I also think 'I Have Questions' is so so overlooked, to be fair she doesn't talk about that song anymore for obvious reasons but yeah it's one of the most soul touching and relatable songs I have ever listened to.
          
          Really hoping for some old Camila vibes in CC5, I wouldn't mind a mixture of experimentation still but I really crave those old sounding melodies and whimsical lyricism from her.

Can anyone who makes video edits help me out pleaseeee
          
          Super new to this, wanting to learn so my main thing is where do you guys get your clips? I wanna make 5h, camren and overall c and l edits but cant seem to download any vids and heard people saying about screen recording to get your clips instead?
          
          What editors do you guys use? I have canva premium and was thinking of starting off using that 
          
          Overall any tips and tricks to help out please, I'm gonna be taking it serious once I finish my works after the summer here but wanna get a head start and know the basics.
          
          It's gonna be mainly a hobby but still wanna put in the effort it deserves to make some decent edits and have some fun.
          
          Thank you to anyone who responds! <3

I love camila sm but istg if this shawmila shitshow sparks again I'm genuinely gonna be so annoyed broooo (especially since shown seems happy with his new gf).
          
          They were so much better as good mates(I actually really liked their friendship), here's hoping they at least don't get back together but if they do then it is what it is and I wish the best for them.
          
          I wanna also add and make it clear, I'm not one of those camren shippers that thinks the girls would ever have a thing again because to me that ship sailed a long long ass time ago.
          
          I don't mind either of them having partners at all but there is something about shawmila that seems so forced to me. 
          
          Like forcing two really good mates to take a romantic step and it just looks hella weird, that's just how I see them and not to mention how much it was shoved in our faces in the media lol 
          
          But fr if they do end up together again all I can hope is that they can have more privacy around their relationship and work through their issues they had in the past.
          
          But I don't think they are meant to be, just like Camila and Lauren too. I think both those ships irl have sailed their courses and served their purpose. 
          
          Hoping our girl takes some much needed time for herself, also Lauren too cause I think they both need it. 
          
          Last post about this for the time being, needed to get this outta my system lol

I had to quickly pop in and comment on the fact apparently Camila and Henry have broken up.
          
          Sad for her, sucks for them both and hope it ended mutually. I will always lowkey be a camren shipper but I'm a realistic one that the girls aren't ever gonna be friends again never mind anything beyond that.
          
          Twitter is crazy, I checked in and damn the Camila peeps, camren shippers and shawmila shippers are fucking going at it. 
          
          I swear this will always be weird to me how invested people get in the private lives of celebrities and this is even more so why people hate RPF shipping and I cannot blame them. 
          
          People are so invasive and obsessed, like bro she's probably super upset rn so why tf are people obsessed with saying she needs a new fella or to get back with Shawn? 
          
          Even people saying about her and Lauren both being single at the same time for the first time in a hot minute like c'mon it's ridiculous. 
          
          Idk how they do it cause I wouldn't be able to handle people just not respecting basic boundaries. 
          
          Love my girly, hope she heals and comes back even stronger.
          
          I do hope she focuses on herself for awhile and doesn't just jump into another relationship but at the end of the day it is her life. But we sometimes need time for ourselves and I think that is what C needs for the time being. 
          
          Sorry for the mini rant, I just wanted to come here and talk about it. 
          
          What is everyone else thinking? Remember even if we disagree it can still remain respectful and civil, we're all entitled to our own opinions :)
          
          Gotta go edit my note about Henry and Camila in one of my BA chaps now lol

what camren fics do you recommend??
