I've been struggling with the world-building of 'The SpellCasters' Quest,' my next project which I'm currently writing behind the scenes. Though I'm more attuned to a fantasy world set in something that would be parallel to our olden days, transportation(particularly the modern one) has proven to be integral in shaping my male lead's character. And thus I am torn between keeping it as a low-fantasy or exploring the steam punk genre.
          	
          	THUS if any of you have any steampunk recommendations, I'd love to check them out! Particularly movies and series. I'll take book recommendations as well. Light and PG or Dark and gritty, anything goes!

Wattpad why!!!!!!!????? *falls to the ground and slams fists while crying in anguish* Why must you make me read comments that potentially contain SPOILERS for stories I am yet to read!!!! PLEASE can we have a feature to CHOOSE what I wish to see and NOT to wish to see?!!! AAARGHHH!!

@ShigureShinyGaze What!! The social feed is the first thing I see when I tap the bell icon so I can't really avoid it unless I rely on my peripheral vision! If only I were in your shoes!

@rikaaraji468 I rarely open Wattpad nowadays and usually only log in when I'm updating my story or responding to comments. So I can't really relate to that personally eheh. :-)

@RedPetal49 Ah, I hadn't fully considered that about my own stories. Ugh. I will keep that in mind when I comment AoT as well.

Hey…
          
          I don’t even know how to thank you for completing my book. You were incredibly proactive, eager, and genuinely involved throughout the journey. Seeing how inquisitive and invested you were in the story made me truly happy.
          
          A simple “thank you” honestly doesn’t feel enough.
          
          I’ll catch up with your reads soon, and I’d really love for us to continue our R4R in the same spirit.
          
           I hope you’d be interested in reading the sequel as well—it’ll be set in the 21st century this time, unlike the mythological and spiritual backdrop of Devil Princess.
          
          I hope I am not asking for too much (nervous)?

@ArchuArchie Don't worry about it, truly! Your story was really engaging and took me for a ride! Your craft is incredible and I'll absolutely be joining in the sequel (Though not immediately since I tend to do my reading systematically. It might take me a while to get to the sequel, but I will!)
            
            Also, I hope you don't plan on marathoning me just because I marathoned you, lol. Read at your own pace ❤️

Hey!! 
          
          There’s a Netflix series called Love Through a Prism.
          The story is set in medieval London, where a Japanese student, Lilli Ichijoin, joins a university to study art.
          And guess what? The very first episode instantly reminded me of the first chapter of your book. The way Claire travels to Freesia, searches for the address, and slowly finds her way around...it felt strangely similar.
          Not completely, of course, but the atmosphere and those little moments in the episode really made me think of Claire.

@ArchuArchie That's really interesting! I hadn't heard of the show until now. I'm taking this as a recommendation from you to me. :D

'To Charm A Knight' is finally marked Complete! Right on schedule, too.... after a whole year and 5 months. What a ride it has been..full of bumps, blocks, second-guesses, fun and love. Can't believe I made it to the finish line. A tremendous thank you to everyone who read, voted and shared their thoughts. All the support meant and still means so much to me, and kept me going ❤️
          
          I'll take a short break, probably. Much is taking place in my life outside wattpad, but I'll try as much as I can to catch up on the stories I'd been reading before.
          
          My next project was supposed to be another full length novel but I'm pretty drained after finishing the sado-masochistic headache that was Claire and Raziel's story. So, I've decided to embark on a short, fun and sweet ride that won't take much of my mental and emotional energy. Name: The SpellCasters' Quest. I won't start posting it till June...or July, though. If the blurb catches your interest, feel free to add it to your library so you don't miss future updates.
          
          Toodles! Until our next meeting in a comment section or conversation board somewhere.
