Hey everyone! Just a quick update: I've finished re-posting my revisions of All That and a Bag of Chips, so I officially don't have anything in progress on Wattpad at the moment.
          
          I'm currently revising Before You Knew Me offline, and I've spent the past month trying to get back into promoting myself on social media. I've been active on Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky, YouTube, Goodreads, and TikTok... and there are probably more that I'm "supposed" to be on. Why are there sooooo many platforms?  Anyone else remember when it was just Friendster and MySpace?
          
          Anyway, I'd love to connect with you on those other platforms if you're there. I'll be sharing writing updates, book recommendations, and the occasional trans history rabbit hole while I work on my next projects. Drop your username below or look me up! I'm rhymeswithfry or Brian Rhymer everywhere, just like I am here. 

Hey, Tags aren't working rn and I thought I should ask. Would you like an exchange? I find 'Except Richie' interesting, so that's the one I wanted to read. Incase you are, I'll type this under your requests on FBE... My book is The Playbook. 

          Congratulations on the Pride Awards! You can dm me on discord (same username) to collect your winners sticker ❤️ 
          
          We're also having a live reading event of all the winning books on our server! It will be on July 26 at 5pm GMT. There's a link in my bio to join the discord so that you can tune in :)
          
          

Except Richie is officially complete!
          
          I'm ALSO thrilled to share that Except Richie was selected as one of the winners of the 2026 Pride Awards! Huge thanks to @FreeTheLGBT for this honor.
          
          Thank you to everyone who read along, left comments, voted, and encouraged Dylan and Richie while they figured out their feelings.
          
          If you've been waiting until it was finished before diving in... now's the perfect time.
          
          Happy (end of) Pride, everyone. ❤️️‍

Chapter 24 of Except Richie just posted! I'm trying to have this novel done by the end of the month, so my posts will be off-schedule, but more frequent. My goal: get ready for the Watty's. Anyone else planning on submitting a story this year?

New chapter of Except Richie just posted!!!

Hey everyone!
          
          A quick update on Except Richie: there won't be a new chapter this week. Between being a parent, being a teacher, and the end-of-school-year chaos, I simply haven't had the writing time I was hoping for.
          
          I also spent part of last weekend rereading the first 21 chapters and making some adjustments to the outline for the final stretch of the story. Apparently, "fixing one small thing" in the outline turned into "rethinking the entire last quarter of the book." Oops. 
          
          The good news is that I know exactly where the plot is headed now. The less-good news is that outlining took time away from drafting.
          
          Thank you for your patience! I plan to be back on schedule with a new chapter this Monday.
          
          See you then!

HAPPY PRIDE! 
          
          Chapter 20 of Except Richie is up. Enjoy!
          
          And some exciting news: Except Richie made the shortlist for the Pride Awards! I'm looking forward to checking out everyone else's stories, too.
          
          Also, All That and a Bag of Chips is being featured on Wattpad's Queer Joy Spotlight!
          
          It's going to be a great month! ️‍⚧️️‍

Chapter 18 of Except Richie is up. And this one is pretty spicy, so be warned!

I wonder why it’s called Except Richie ngl…. Is it like “anyone except him”? Or maybe something else I’m not getting yet >.<
