I couldn't not post a CaitVi oneshot during Lesbian Visibility Week.  Actually, this one's a two-shot. 
          In Ride the Bus, Vi finds out that Caitlyn has never been to a drinking party, and is determined to remedy that.  Part II (Hangover) is about the aftermath of that party, and Vi is determined to remedy that, too!
          You know the drill - the Wattpad version is slightly abridged from the AO3 version (make good choices)
          Did you get your dose of lesbians this week?  Better squeeze that in now!

"'To your twenty-first,' Vi says, picking up her glass.  
          Ekko shakes his head.  'Mine is for my birthday.  Yours is for confidence.'
          She clinks the glass against the counter and then throws it back, feeling the vodka burn her throat.  'Ye of little faith,' she says.  
          Ekko pours himself another one.  'And this is so I don’t remember you fumbling your girl when I wake up tomorrow.'"
          
          New CaitVi two-shot coming out Friday!  You know the drill: the unabridged version will be on AO3, and the slightly more family-friendly version will be on Wattpad.

A lot of people ask me, "Why doesn't my book have more reads?"  Being good at writing is part of it, sure, but on Wattpad, networking is everything.  You have to put yourself out there!  One of the best ways to do this is through contests, and I have just the one for you!
          
          Any Riordanverse or RR Presents fanfiction is eligible for entry into @A_Demigod_Community 's Triple G Ranch Awards, a voter-based contest.  Completed, ongoing, crossovers, applyfics, etc. are all welcome to compete!  Even if you don't walk away with a prize, you're incredibly likely to walk away with some new readers!  You can even enter multiple books!
          
          So what are you waiting for?  Check it out here: https://www.wattpad.com/story/407222403-the-triple-g-ranch-demigods%27-choice-awards-2026
          
          Right now, TGR is hosting a nomination fest, which means if you nominate someone else's book to the contest, you'll earn a prize!  Make an author's day!

@TheRedSourPatchKid YESSSS AS IT SHOULD, AS IT D E S E R V E S

I've been in denial for days, and I think I'm finally coming to accept that this is a real thing that happened!  
          @/meg_noel_art on Twitter created this amazing piece depicting my CaitVi (Arcane) fanfic, "Spoon Theory."  I am in absolute disbelief.  I have no idea how "Spoon Theory" found its way to CaitVi Twitter, but I am so incredibly thankful for all the love it's received.  
          The art, though!  I am OBSESSED.  I'd seen their art before, so I knew they were good, but Meg absolutely nailed this.  This is exactly how I imagined these characters when writing them, and for someone to show this kind of love to a fic that is so special and vulnerable to me is just... wow.  
          So I would love to share what she created here: https://x.com/meg_noel_art/status/2042400233875718578?s=20
          
          And if you haven't read "Spoon Theory," I would love to invite you to check it out here or on AO3!  And I'm still so happy to report that "Spoon Theory"'s sequel, "When You Go Quiet (I Hate Myself)" is available in full on AO3 (but you can read a snippet here on Wattpad, too!)

A couple of days ago, I was asked, "what's some worldbuilding you've done that you're really proud of?" and I immediately said, "Well, I created an entire boomtown for a Percy Jackson Western AU."  Happy first birthday to Blackjack!

Maybe some of you have seen it already, but @A_Demigod_Community is currently hiring new folks to join our leadership team!  This has been such a valuable experience for me and for many, so I definitely recommend that anyone interested put in an application (:  
          
          "But Red, I really wanna get in, and I know you help choose people, so help me!"
          So here's my list of tips:
          
          - Don't procrastinate, but don't rush, either.  Positions aren't first-come, first-served.  We're going to choose the best applicants.  
          - Put in a good application.  Knowing someone in the Senate isn't enough; you don't have to write an essay, but thoughtful and honest answers are what really seal the deal for an applicant.  
          - Check yourself.  We do take into account word of mouth and our impressions of you outside your application, so make sure you're kind to others on Wattpad.
          - Be active.  We're looking for frequent activity, both with our community activities and on your own account.  You don't have to be a hardcore writer, by any means, but we're trying to find people who spend enough time on this website to be able to commit to a community.  
          
          And those are my tips!  If you have any questions, feel free to ask below, and I'm happy to give you some pointers - I just can't tell you if you're getting in or not, haha!
