Hello there!
          	
          	I dunno if anyone out there … but if anyone is and happen to be interested, I published the remaining chapters of The Taming of Frankie Carrozza so it’s in its essentially* completed form. 
          	
          	*it’s choppy af, hasn’t been edited or looked at in years. And parts have been edited so other parts won’t make sense, and most of it is left unedited. But I couldn’t just let them sit anymore.
          	
          	One of my New Year’s resolution is to rewrite it so
          	I’m going to post a remastered version. Been tbinkjng of doing it for ages so needs must. It will still be much the same story, keeping the trajectory basically the same. But it’s going to revolve around Charlie investigating Frankie for the disappearance of a mutual friend. 
          	
          	Well, how you’re doing well. Whoever reads this :)
          	
          	Good luck!
          	Colm

Hope you're doing well, just wanted to say that Emerald Fennell has you on her mood board cause Saltburn? Yeah, it was giving me deja vu. 

Kimberellaellaayyayy

@Kimberellaellaayyayy of course you loved saltburn! Love that, have to say I feel much of my current love for it comes from fanfiction that extends the story well past what fennell could have dreamed up for it. Also, been alright I guess living to live and all that. So happy to hear from you though, also stoked to see the updates, looking forward to them. Glad that you're doing well!

hey colm!
          bit of a weird question but do you have an inspiration source in the way you write?
          I absolutely LOVE it and  want to start writing too and I love this particular 'style' of writing, which I can't really identify.TTFC was genuinely the best thing I've ever read and it made me love reading AND writing.

I'LL DEFINITELY BE POSTING MY WRITING ON HERE

Hi folks, 
          
          **Update for any readers of The Taming of Frankie Carrozza**
          
          I was supposed to release the rest of the story the other day but I got distracted — sorry! I will soon though. As in tonight.
          
          Promise x
          
          I haven’t used Wattpad in a while — or do much writing anymore really for that matter. I just come on here every so often to lie about updating this story but never actually doing so. The story has been “finished” for a really long time now, I’m just forever re-editing it, never fully happy with it. And then I stopped writing. But I keep thinking about this story every so often, about properly finishing it, as there’s nothing worse than an unfinished story.
          
          So rather than editing this story, I’m just going to release the remaining chapter drafts—unedited, jumbled and probably shite—and start over.  I was just going to delete this version but I think that would be unfair to anyone who’ve read it so far. But do bear in mind I’ve not looked at them in ages and won’t be doing so for my own sake. 
          
          So I’m going to publish a new version alongside this one. It will be much about the same thing and much of the same things will still happen—-same beginning, middle and end to some extent. I just think I can broaden the love story between them better and the plot. It’ll be about two friends who fall in love at a British boarding school except it will be surrounding a murder mystery. When mutual friend and mad magician John Fox vanishes for good during his magic act at Denton’s Talent Show, in the months to follow his disappearance, Charley begins to suspect Frankie’s involvement and attempts to gain access to his exclusive Chese Club Society so as to investigate him and its odd members. 
          Hope you don’t mind. 
          
          Be good,
          Colm

I'm a ghost reader but I wanted to say this:
            Whatever you decide to give us Colm, we will be happy to read. It doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs to exist in this world because however it turns out, your writing and this story will break and mend our hearts and maybe break them again but in a great way lol
            
            P.s. I'm a singer-songwriter and I may have written a song inspired by TTOFC a couple of years ago. I just wanted to let you know your art inspires.

The Taming of Frankie Carozza is the best thing I've ever read on Wattpad, literally, and I've been on here for yearrrs. It's also the best love story I've read in general, no questions asked. Charlie's pov is excellent, the writing amazing, Frankie: iconic. I love you Colm for ever writing this, I know it's not done but this deserves a beautiful physical copy to go with the beautiful writing and beautiful story. If this book was published I'd be handing it left and right to anyone who would care for a queer love story. I hope you get to finish this one day <3 
          
          Love from France <3

I second that most definitely…
