My notifications are soooo delayed. It’s irritating me.

Finally got new covers for my stories!! <3

Creators who have stolen my ideas and original plot for Elaina in “Resilience” genuinely make me want to delete my work so they can’t do that anymore. It’s so frustrating and honestly just annoying. I understand finding inspiration in others work, but blatantly taking one’s original ideas or scenes/chapters and calling it your own is really disappointing.
I’m very tempted to delete the “Resilience” series after this continuing to happen multiple times.

@f1_g_4 I wish I could do that, too!! All I can say is that I know when my work was originally posted and when it was written as I have the receipts and first draft for Resilience and Aftermath, and my readers would know who posted what originally. I guess that’s really all I can do/hope for!

@bereeze188 Gosh I am so sorry about this. It’s absolutely horrible that someone can just steal someone’s work and call it their own. I wish there was a way to “watermark” it like photography.

“Resilience” has reached 200,000 reads?!
Wow. There are no words to describe my gratitude at the moment. I never expected this story to reach so many of you—and for so many to have enjoyed it the way they have.
Every read and vote has been greatly appreciated. Every unhinged comment has me giggling and kicking my feet along with you. Every uplifting message has left me teary-eyed.
To hear that so many of you have resonated with Elaina on some level has been incredible. (And I’m relieved to know that so many are as obsessed with Bellamy & Elaina as I am.)
The unwavering support, encouragement, and patience you’ve shown me has been heartwarming.
This story was a labor of love and I’ve enjoyed every minute of crafting it — even when I doubted it at times.
I truly can’t express how thankful I am for all 200,000 of you. From the bottom of my heart, I adore you endlessly.

this is so incredibly deserved “resilience” reaching 200k reads is such a huge milestone, but honestly it’s not surprising at all considering how much heart you poured into this story. the love you have for these characters shines through every chapter, and that’s exactly why so many people connected with elaina, bellamy, and the world you created.
you should be so proud of yourself for building something that made people laugh, cry, scream in the comments, and feel seen all at once. that kind of impact doesn’t happen by accident it comes from talent, passion, and the courage to share your work even through the moments of doubt.
congratulations on 200,000 reads
you absolutely earned every bit of this love.
lullabylib
thank you so much for voting on my story what did you think of it? i really appreciate every vote and all the support, it honestly means so much to me. thank you again for taking the time to read it
lullabylib
@bereeze188 i will consistently support you in everything you do. your work is genuinely amazing, and it really stands out for its quality and effort. you also come across as a truly genuine and down-to-earth person, which makes it even easier to appreciate what you create and who you are.
bereeze188
@lullabylibrary of course!! I’m happy to support where I can, especially to those who have/do support me! <3

i’ve been really curious since reading “we who remain” who did you choose as aaron’s face claim
lullabylib
@bereeze188 ah, that makes sense now. i wasn’t sure if he was an oc like jemma or not—just ignore me, haha.
bereeze188
He’s a preexisting character within the walking dead! The face claims I put in the cast line up are my OCs. The rest of the characters included in the fic are already in the show! :)

i wanted to ask you something, if you don’t mind answering. i totally understand if you’d rather not, but how did you stay motivated to keep writing your bellamy fanfiction? i’ve been working on mine for a few weeks now, and i can’t shake the feeling that i’m wasting my time. i know not everyone is going to vote or comment, but it still feels like i’m writing for no one. did you ever feel like that while you were writing?
bereeze188
@lullabylibrary you’re absolutely right!! It might feel like a defeat, but I actually think it’s shows how dedicated you are to this to want to take your time to make sure it’s exactly how you want it!! Take your time, take some breaks, and when you’re ready to post it again, I have no doubt that it’ll be great!!! <3
lullabylib
@bereeze188 i’ve got it saved on my computer, but i wasn’t happy with how it turned out - i know i can write it better. i’m planning to take some time to rewrite it and maybe publish it once it’s finished, or at least when i feel satisfied with it. i think i rushed it at the start, trying to attract new readers, and didn’t make sure i was happy with it myself. if i’m not happy with it, the readers probably won’t be either.
bereeze188
@lullabylibrary oh no!! Do you have it saved somewhere else for you to go back to it?? I completely understand. I’ve taken down my original work because I’m unhappy with how the plot is going. I haven’t even opened the doc again since I took it down last week. Haven’t even given it a second thought really. I think it’s normal to second guess your work! I do it all the time! I rewrote my entire plot for my fic twice before settling on one that I liked. It almost looked TOTALLY different than what’s posted. But I started writing the first two books offline and had them both polished and finished before publishing here. Hopefully you saved it somewhere in case you change your mind and want to go back to it!

i’ve just finished your “resilience” series and i absolutely loved it. it honestly inspired me so much that i’ve started writing my own bellamy blake fanfiction. your writing really stuck with me and i just wanted to say thank you for sharing it.
bereeze188
@lullabylibrary it took me multiple tries to get mine done and I still haven’t decided if I like them haha. But once you get it down, it gets easier!!
lullabylib
@bereeze188 thank you, i think i’ve finally created one i’m happy with. it took most of the day and came with plenty of frustration, but i got there in the end.
bereeze188
@lullabylibrary there’s an app that partners with Wattpad that I used! I can’t remember the name of it. But I grabbed a picture from Pinterest, edited it, put the title on it, and created the book cover!

As a girl obsessed with space, the moon, and mythology… this moon orbit mission has me in literal tears with every video and update I see.
The first woman to ever orbit the moon, and she’s on the Artemis. A Greek goddess, chariot of the moon, protector of women and young girls. Also the twin sister of Apollo.
I’m an emotional wreck this week, truly.

One detail I added to the “Resilience” series, is that I wrote all 5 books in past tense, but the Epilogue in present tense. I did this as a way to show where they were, versus where they are now. It was such a minor thing, I doubt anyone noticed, but I was proud of it regardless. <3
