@biryaniaftersex hiiii, so i’m writing it with the idea of a novella (so maybe 20-25) but we’ll see :)

@Saaaaraaaa1530 hi!! OMG I ADORE SALT WATER FANS!! thank you. you’re topping the leaderboard for the most ardent salt water fan for sure! 
            
            
            and yes, you’re referring to ‘for the love of god’ on @caramelstreet! it doesn’t have pj references per se. it’s heavily based on greek mythology. if you know the basic gods, you’re good to go! it’s a very different books than my other works. quite heavy on descriptions :) 

@caralogue Thanks for filing a request too. Hopefully, Meghan Kai-Sumiki will lose all the stolen books.

@JonLeePeto hey, this is the worst! sorry this happened to you too and thanks for flagging! just filed a request to take it down! 

@caralogue whatever do you even mean????? That’s literally my one job tch tch tch 

@_blackcoffeenosugar maybe stop making me blush and giggle by saying things like this? 

@caralogue I'll check it out tomorrow, I promise!

@warnerholic hi, thank you for checking in on me! i’m doing good. my instagram is caramelstreet.lit! 

@caralogue YES THANK YOU

@caralogue I'm always interested in knowing more about the process behind any form of art. There have been times when I've mailed certain authors only to ask why a certain character behaved the way they did or why the author chose to make the plot move in a certain direction. I sometimes even ask hypothetical questions like ‘oh, if x character had made a different choice, would x have found happiness?’ or ‘if y character had not died, how would the ending of the story changed?’ 
            I enjoy doing this, never mind the fact that it probably inconveniences authors when I ask for extra bts of their works XD
            I love watching ‘making of’ videos of movies, listening to authors speak of their writing process & planning for their books and watching videos of choreographers explain the idea behind their choreographies. Maybe you could make a compilation like Stars Aligned, where you explain your process for each book you've written. Obviously each book's behind-the-scenes will be spread over multiple chapters, so it'll become an anthology of sorts. 
            
            For AMAs you could make anonymous Google forms where people can ask questions to whichever character they like. Like the one you make for your year-end caraland awards. You could then answer those questions and publish them, character-wise. Bcuz it's anonymous, I'm guessing more people will be willing to participate.
            
            Yeah, we're spoilt, but I'm never one to back down from asking for more :p 
            The worst you can say is no, so I'm gonna shoot my shot anyway! 
            
            Yup, salt water and raspberry ripple are currently in my tbr. Looking to read them soon. You'll obviously see me in the comment section when I finally come around.

@whyirina it’s been so long since i engaged with the val fandom! i’ll keep this in mind for sure! 

@hajarkagalwa thank you! i love your ideas, all of them! but i never knew you were interested in getting to know my writing process. all your questions seem interesting and i’ll make a note of them! but it’s going to take more than a single chapter haha. i’ll think of creating a separate book to hold this behind-the-scenes info.
            
            organizing amas for character on wp is a great idea but i have to work out a way to receive questions and answer them without it being chaotic. using this conversation board wouldn’t really work well. this requires some brainstorming.
            
            another group chat? y’all are spoilt already! 
            
            for now, i’ve posted bonus content for salt water. i know you’ve not read it but i’ll take all of your suggestions into consideration. when i find time, i will def work on them! thank you sm <3
