Riley Black

@favblondje1 Take all the time you need to feel better. My mom also has an irrational fear of illness she would have a lot of anxiety about everything like any little thing that would happen to our family and she would constantly go to the hospital for anxiety which she got diagnosed for medical anxiety. So please take very good care of yourself and take all the time you need to feel better.

Hey guys, I'm adding this here because I know not all of you are going to read the Author's notes I just added to all of my published works so, here it is. 
          
          I wanted to share something important with you all.
          
          I’ve decided to take a hiatus from posting on social media. If you follow me for book updates or general content, I’m so sorry—but I don’t know how long I’ll be away.
          
          I struggle with severe medical anxiety, including a phobia called emetophobia, which I’ve had since childhood. Lately, it’s become the worst it’s ever been, morphing into another form of anxiety that’s led to compulsive behaviors I can’t seem to shake.
          
          For example, months ago I saw a TikTok about uneven pupils being a sign of something serious, and ever since, I’ve been obsessively checking mine out of fear something’s wrong. My family’s growing frustrated, and honestly, I’m exhausted. Living in constant panic feels like my life is unraveling.
          
          I think I’ve also developed an irrational fear of serious illness. My great-grandfather passed away from cancer three years ago, my grandma and a beloved teacher were both diagnosed with breast cancer my senior year (thankfully they beat it), and my grandad died of a stroke when I was a freshman. Since then, I’ve been terrified I’ll wake up one day with something terminal. It’s torture, and it’s getting harder to manage.
          
          So, I think it’s best I step back from social media to focus on my mental, emotional, and physical health. I may still post new story chapters occasionally, but please don’t pressure me—I’ll share things at my own pace.
          
          Thank you for understanding, and for all your love and support.
          
          Love you guys,
          Rileyyyyyyy out <3

.00 of the new version of Star-Crossed is out everybody!
          
          .01 should be out in a few hours hopefully! Maybe less!!
          
          --Riley out!!!!

Hello!
          
          Those of you reading Star-Crossed might have just seen all of the chapters disappear!
          
          That is because I'm making a little change to it! 
          
          I hated the filler of years one and two because they're essentially all fluff and very very useless to the actual storyline I have plotted, so I'm reposting these chapters today with some twists!
          
          Star-Crossed is now starting smack dab at the beginning of Harry and Natalie's third year at Hogwarts, so Prisoner of Azkaban era is our starting date here. 
          
          I hope you guys are about as excited for this change as I am, because this year is going to be chock FULL of the drama. 
          
          All ramping up for the real stuff in years four and five. 
          
          Hopefully I solidly establish their history within the first two years, because there is a fair cast of OC characters used, and I want their history to be well built since we're doing quite a time skip. 
          
           (I also want to say, I am raising character ages for this story, because there are some DARK themes discussed and developed on, so in third year these characters will be a minimum of Fifteen)
          
          So Star-Crossed fans, be on the look-out for revised chapters coming today!
          
          -I LOVE Y'ALLL, Riley out ;))

Hey guys!
          
          I'm making this announcement in the hopes I never have to make an announcement like this ever again. 
          
          Solely because I am TIRED of feeling as though I have to plead my case to you guys on a daily basis. 
          
          I work full time, I'm in the middle of studying to be a screenwriter, and I'm also working on publishing a real full-length novel. 
          
          I wish I had a steadier schedule to get chapters out for you guys, but I don't given my schedule for work and the rest of my obligations. 
          
          I know it may come as a surprise to a lot of you, but I have a real life outside of publishing these funny little stories on Wattpad! 
          
          I'm not just a fic pumping machine as I am continuously treated by a good handful of you guys, and I am absolutely tired of being treated as though I am one. 
          
          I write when I have time and motivation, and sometimes those two things are in a short supply. 
          
          I'm almost to the point of blocking those of you who consistently badger me about updating on both my accounts here and on Tiktok. 
          
          The lack of respect is truly astounding, and just...ugh. 
          
          So, please, think before you comment such things. 
          
          Think about how maybe this person who you don't even know personally besides from behind a screen could possibly have a LOT more important things going on in their lives other than sticking to a schedule you've made up for them in your own head. 
          
          --Riley out.

Please come back and update lone star this plaatform doesn't have enough outer range fans let alone ones who can write ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ

will you publish soft and sin? :(

Woman, you got me watching Aemond Targaryen edits. I AM LOSING IT

I followed you and liked some of your post and saved them to my "To Read List" on tiktok. I think it blocked me because I tried to look up your account on there. I LITERALLY WANT TO CRY!!!

Hi everyone!!
          
          Just some quick updates for you.
          
          Estimating chapter five of These Ashes Between us should be out by this Saturday.
          
          Estimating chapter three of Smoke and Mirrors could be out by Sunday at the latest.
          
          Chapter thirty nine of Of Shadows and Starlight will probably be out by tonight or tomorrow.
          
          Chapter One of Soft as Sin is in the works, and will probably be out by next week!
          
          And just another thing. I don’t just really give out my TikTok account to strangers, but if you do end up following me, I do want to let you know, if you spam like my posts you will likely end up blocked because it shadowbans my account from the algorithm, and I like my followers to get their content!!
          
          —I LOVE YOU GUYS!! Riley out <3
