୨୧ Introducing the "Alonso Archives" Discord Server!!  ୨୧
          
          Hi my loves,
          
          I am so incredibly excited to be sharing this project with you all! For the longest time I've been searching for a space within the f1 fanfiction writing community where writing is the main focus. Alonso Archives is a Discord server for F1 writers, readers, and anyone who simply loves a good story with a particular love for Fernando Alonso. We have spaces for writing discussions, WIPs, brainstorming, plot help, resources, featured authors and fics, general F1 chat, and plenty of room for people to just hang out. The goal isn't to create another huge fandom server where you get lost in hundreds of channels. I wanted to create something that actually feels like a community, somewhere you can post your new chapter and have people excited to read it, ask for help when you've written yourself into a plot hole, share a ridiculous head canon, or just find someone who gets why you've spent three hours analysing a driver's five-second interaction
          
          And while yes, technically the server is mine, It would not be nearly as good as it is without having some help from a couple friends. O have to give a MASSIVE shout out and Thank You to my friends Maddie and James  for their help getting this server running, who worked through ideas with me, and helped turn what started as a bunch of thoughts into an actual community ♡
          
          So, if you're an F1 writer, reader, fic enjoyer, occasional lurker, chronic WIP starter, professional plot-hole creator, or someone who simply wants to meet more people who love motorsport and storytelling… The Alonso Archives Discord is Open!!!

I just wanna apologize for just disappearing into thin air over the past couple of weeks. Life has thrown me on a Rollercoaster, and there does not seem to be an end insight. From grieving a family members death - to getting into my dream uni - to test series starting - a possible procedure/minor surgery next week. Life has thrown a curveball, and I've seriously been hit square in the face. I'm hoping to have more chapters and stories out soon!! 
          
          Until then,
          
          Lots of love,

Yesterday's Cruel Summer update was the last of the story and although I am sad to see it end. I am excited to introduce you to a brand new story "Between the Sheets". Which is another Fernando Alonso Short Story that centres around his first year in F1. The first information chapter is out now and updates will (hopefully) be every Monday. Thank you always for your support, and I can't wait to introduce you to this new world 
          
          Lots of Love,
          - Lia 

It has been a half a year since I've posted a Wattpad note, and well I do apologize, I thought I ought to explain myself.  I'm sure those of you have read comments on the driver's seat will have probably seen, but Tumblr is my main social media in posting stories. I post one shots, my full stories, BTS , and genuinely everything there. A03 and wattpad are sort of my back up posting accounts. 
          
          Well I started my writing journey on Wattpad, and it will forever hold a special place in my heart, I am a avid tumblr user. So come join me if you want more content, but if you are a wattpad person, no worries, I will still post story updates here.

Will you be updating  Fernando’s story?

Hi, my loves!!
          
          I don't even know what to say. It's been just under five hours since I realized and I still don't know what to say. The Driver's Seat is the number One story under the "Alonso" Tag. I haven't been able to stop thinking about how to thank you all for making this achievement possible. (Was this on my mind the entire time I was doing my Hospitality Course Practical? Yes, but don't tell the teacher that). Your reads, comments, votes and all other interactions have lead to my story being pushed to new readers giving us this spot. 
          
          I know it's not a super big achievement and it can seem small to others, but this is a win for me as It can lead to more readers. All of which I am so grateful for. I love interacting with every single one of you and I hope you will continue to support me. 
          
          The Driver's Seat is only getting started and there is a world of possibilities for us to achieve, I hope we can do it together. 
          
          As always,
          Lots of Love, 
          And lots of excitement,
          
          - Lia

Hi my loves!!
          
          For those of you who are reading Driver's Seat and are waiting for an update, I want to apologize for being super late. I don't see an update coming until the weekend as I really need to edit the next chapter before It gets posted (unlike the latest one).
          
          Unfortunately, I'm only two exams into the season, and I already feel like I'm drowning. Having a social life and writing some of the most important exams of your life is so fun!!! Hahahaha how long do I have left of this?? Joking, kind of. Um, anyway. 
          
          I will try if I can to get it out as soon as I can, but only time will tell!! I have the possibility of it happening on Thursday if something falls through tomorrow (which I have a feeling it will). But I'm not making any promises. 
          
          Sunday's depression is also only starting to wear off now as well (I'm too emotionally invested in this sport for my own good), but until then, Fernando has some luck in my story. 
          
          Hope you are all doing well and that life is treating you even better!!
          
          Lots of love,
          - Lia

          Hello My Loves!!
          
          As the First of May, Fast approaches, the excitement for the newest addition of My "Speed and Sparks" Standalone series, "The Driver's Seat" a Fernando Alonso Fanfiction, Only builds!! I have been writing and planning more than any other story I've ever written and I am so proud of this story. 
          
          Athena and Fernando's story is one so dear to me as our main Character is South African, the same nationality as me. I have wanted to do a South African Character for the longest time and when this story idea came to me I knew it would be the perfect place for her. 
          
          This story has mature content and is rated for 18+ readers.  As with all my stories  there's also talks of mental health issues that may or may not be triggering, but those chapter's will be indicated. 
          
          I can't wait for this story to start being updated and to interact with you all!!
          
          Until then,
          Lot's of Love,
          - Lia ♡

NEW STORY ANNOUCEMENT:
          
          Hello, my loves!!
          
          The countdown is starting. It is the beginning of April, meaning It is a month away until the newest installment of my Formula One Fanfiction Standalone Series starts. Over the next month, there will be updates and sneak peeks of what’s to come, so make sure you are following me!!
          
          I’ve had the desire to do a Fernando Alonso Fanfiction since the hyperfixation started in April last year. (We’re coming full circle). As most of you should know, I did a love triangle short story in January, with the MMC’s being Fernando and Lando, and as Promised, I’m following it up with a full length Standalone for Fernando (Norris Next? Possibly). But I am so, so, so excited about this story, the characters I’ve created, and the entire romance plot of Athena and Fernando. 
          
          I don’t want to give away too much yet, but I can give a Trope Reveal.
          
          The Driver’s Seat
          A Fernando Alonso Fanfiction
          Tropes:
          - Forbidden Romance
          - Friends with Benefits
          - Teammate Romance
          - Age Gap
          - Slow Burn
          - Female F1 Driver
          - Dad’s best friend
          
          AHHHH! I’m so excited!
          
          Until then, watch my socials as more updates are coming!!
          
          As always.

Hello My Loves!!
          
          It's been a while since we last spoke. In the time since I fully uploaded "All That's Left" the love triangle short story centred around Fernando Alonso and Lando Norris.
          
          But I wanted to just post a message and say I'm so grateful to you guys!! At the time of posting, "AutumnDR3" is the number one on the #f1fanfiction chart. I am so so happy and can't explain what an achievement this is. 
          
          And at the same time "Driven By Desire" is the number one on the #cars chart. 
          
          These achievements are nothing short of amazing and I am so grateful to each and every one of you for your support whether it was reading, commenting or voting. It means the world!!
          
          I love you all so so much,
          And I'm sure I'll hear from you soon.
          
          Lots of love,
          - Lia 
          
          (PS: I'm going to start trying to be more active on my Tiktok and Instagram!!)
