Hi everyone, it's been a while.
          
          Let me do a little context before the main message: 
          While I've been gone, I've been struggling with mental health and university and some health stuff (I'm okay-ish now) and I'd been struggling to write more for my fan-fictions. 
          I recently started writing my fan-fictions again and really got into it. 
          
          Since I've got a few things that are quite stressful going on, I really do need this outlet. So I've decided to come back, while I said it was due to the copyright concern I think it was more to do with how stressed I was at the time. Thankfully, I'm hoping to publish the first Act of my MCU story sometime this week, although it might get pushed back a little. 
          
          Since I left, I've made some hefty progress on my MCU story. Not only is act one and act two written (may need a little editing) but act three is currently in the works. I hope to make a trilogy out of the MCU story and have organised my fan-fictions into a large spreadsheet on my computer to help me further be organised. 
          
          Moving forward, I plan to put fan-fictions on here and keep this as the hub for my fan stories. 
          
          Currently I am planning to put: 
          MCU, PB, X-Men, SW, DW  on this website (the full names of these abbreviations will be in my description).
          
          Thank you for reading this and I'll do my best to publish the first Act soon!

Hi everyone,
          I really didn't want to have to write this but I need to add my comment and add a warning.
          
          Let's start with the comment. There's a current situation (in case you don't know) where people are being paid/offering services for binding fanfiction into physical books. I love the TikToks where people bind books for themselves. However when people are being PAID to bind FANFICTION, the situation is different. Fanfiction has always been a grey zone for copyright. When we write fanfiction, we're using characters/locations/companies that someone else has written and make money from.
          In the future, legislation/laws/bills could be passed BANNING fanfiction from the internet and maybe even punishing those who write it (but I'm not a law expert, punishing authors might not happen and it would just be sueing but it's a risk that COULD happen). 
          
          Authors on A03 have been having their work binded as books, which is why this has become a serious thing that people need to address and spread awareness for. 
          This has been a big factor of why I've always said I would NEVER take money for my fanfictions. I've always been of the belief that copyright is serious, and fanfiction should be something to be really careful with. Seeing some people ignore this fact of copyright, it just ruins it for the rest of us. So speaking about this and spreading awareness of what might happen is CRUCIAL. 
          
          I have no links to anyone who does this, but it's mainly located on Etsy. I haven't seen them yet, but I've seen examples online of stores that HAVE done this. We can report stores and get them taken down, but we just have to stay aware and try to stop this from going any further before it gets WORSE.
          
          Personally, I'm going to remove my work from the internet until this situation resolves. If this situation worsens or never resolves, fanfiction will just become a personal hobby that will be for my eyes and my friends' eyes only.
          
          I don't wish to scare, just make people aware. 
          Thanks.

Had a busy day today, but the chapter's out now. Finally. 
          Glad I can finally push this one out, I've been excited to get more chapters out.

I did a silly thing lol, I published the chapter without a title... Anyway, it's fixed now. 
          As I type this, I'm working on the coming chapters and the series while watching Doctor Who.
          Hope your day is going well.

So, this is mostly a rant but it's relevant enough. 
          
          I've been doing story planning and notes on my iPad, and I've been designing recent book covers on my iPad. 
          Last night I went through the painful process of forgetting my passcode to it. I normally have it recorded somewhere but I couldn't find it. 
          
          I reset my iPad last night and updated it (as I was trying to do before). Now I've lost a few things, but thankfully only a few. My story notes are all safe (thankfully) but my book covers are gone (unless I screen shotted them or already uploaded them to the hidden book on Wattled). For my following Hellfire books, this isn't the case so I'm redoing them. The first Hellfire book cover redesign is FULLY safe and has been a screenshot on my iPad for some time. My MCU (which you'll see in the teaser later on at midnight) book cover was also safe. 
          
          Any character design elements I had (Concept art or sketching) are all gone, unfortunately. I will either look at starting the same pictures again from memory or I could look at improving it, I'm not sure what I'll do regarding the finished pieces that are now gone but I'm just glad my iPad's updated and I don't have to worry about this again. 
          
          Won't lie, a really horrible way to start the year but it's finished and I just have to rebuild from here.

Hi everyone, first of all: Merry Christmas (Or Happy Holidays, whichever you prefer). I unfortunately don't have a Christmas themed chapter coming on the 1st January, but I'm able to start teasing my next series: My MCU series. 
          I'll be announcing the story but I won't be posting it just yet. I don't have a set release date, but I'm aiming to have the first act done by April/May. I'm really hoping to have the first act done before my birthday. 
          
          On January 1st, I'll be kicking off the new year with a new story announcement which I'll be revealing the title and the description. I'm so excited to get this story started. I'll explain how the story will work in the official announcement but I can't wait to get started and publish. 
          
          As for Hellfire, I'll still publish a chapter a month. Once I have more free time, I'm still hoping to increase the amount but I'm not sure when that might be. 
          
          In case you haven't heard this already, I'm proud of you. You've made it another year. It's been hard recently, not just with the cost of living crisis (uk) but also the general hate and phobias that have been on the rise. Whether this be horrible wars or bigoted hate.
          whatever your situation, I'm proud you've made it through and I wish you another year. I wish for a year of safety and protection, which if you don't have now: I wish for it to come true.

Hi everyone, I've been so busy with University that I've been relying on my previously written chapters. Chapter Eight is now up but it's not been as edited as I would like, I'll probably return to it at a later date, but I'm happy with it in its current state.
          I will add to this with a reply when I've edited it fully.

Hi everyone, I've been doing some thinking. While I love writing Hellfire, I'm finding I'm having a motivation issue. To solve this, I'm going to start planning out my MCU fanfiction. This fanfiction was created primarily for me, to give me something to help me process emotions and mental health. The MCU fanfiction will be shared, but I will share them one act at a time. I have no date to announce yet, but I plan to release Act one and then Act Two and then Act Three. This might change if I end up finishing the story incredibly fast, but I'm not sure that I will. 
          The MCU fanfiction will be three novels (but will expanded once Thunderbolts and Captain America: New World Order is released in the future).
          I will be setting up the story on my page, but I'll specify the release date at a later time.

Apologies for any spamming (if you get any) I'm updating chapters again

Hi everyone, I completely forgot to update last night since I've had a busy few days so I'll be posting the new chapter later today. 
          I will also be adding to my instagram account too, so make sure to take a look if you haven't.
