Happy New Year. I hope that 2026 is the best year ever for you.

The final chapter of A Pinch of Passion is up! Thank you all so much for all the love you've shown this story these past several months. Like a good meal, a story is best enjoyed with good company, and I couldn't have asked for better people to share it with <3

Huge congrats to the winners of the Aro Ace Awards hosted by the @TripleACommunity! We had a lot of amazing entries this year, and it was an absolute delight to read them all.
          
          In third place, we have The One by @ZonderZorg, a contemporary story featuring Logan, the autistic owner of a wine importing company, and Karina, a novelist coping with the aftermath of a messy divorce, bonding after he saves her from a disaster at sea. We absolutely adored this story’s action-packed beginning and wonderfully efficient, compelling characterization!

          In second place, we have Verbena House by @ominousqueer, a contemporary dark fantasy story featuring witches and vampires, a queerplatonic marriage, and polyamorous romance. We absolutely loved the intricate exploration of how the main characters challenge societal norms and oppression in a setting full of magic and intrigue, and we can hardly wait to see how they will carve out their own unique places in the world!

          Lastly, the GRAND WINNER of the 2nd annual Aro Ace Awards is Our Invisible Threads by @NefertitiFenison, a contemporary new adult found family story about three brilliant college students sharing an apartment in Osaka. The story's unique narrative voice immediately welcomes you with its introspective coziness, and the three main characters' shared intellectual curiosity and thoughtful compassion make their bond incredibly wholesome and compelling in ways that are hard to put into words. We can hardly wait to see them continue to bring out the best in each other as they continue their studies!

          Huge thanks to everyone who entered and to the amazing @-DeeIsDead- for designing the stickers for this year's awards! We can hardly wait to see what awesome stories await us next year <3

We're almost at the end of A Pinch of Passion, and after way too long, it's finally time for Dante to have a proper talk with some very important people <3

          I finally sat down and added polls to A Pinch of Passion this week! For those of you who haven't seen polls on Wattpad before, these are basically just a small, anonymous way for you to engage with the story, although comments are of course always appreciated ;)
          
          I'll gradually be working on adding polls to my other stories over the coming weeks, but that might take a bit since as usual, I have been seriously overthinking things to the point where it took me about 3 hours to finish writing the ones for A Pinch of Passion. I swear half of that was just trying to find the best emojis for each one XD

Much like last week's chapter of A Pinch of Passion, this week's chapter is a real tearjerker, so make sure you have your tissues ready! Cedric's managed to calm Dante down enough to talk things over properly, meaning it's finally time for them to address some old wounds.

          Huge thanks to @Fantasy for adding Reindeer James to their Ambassadors Picks reading list! That was such a lovely surprise to start the holiday season <3

In this week's chapter of A Pinch of Passion, Dante is reacting to Cedric's surprise in the worst possible way. Will Cedric be able to convince him to face his past, or will Dante's fear prevent him from letting himself pursue a happier future?

          Hope everyone in the U.S. had a lovely Thanksgiving! I spent a lot of the day in the kitchen with my mom, so as you can imagine, we had a wonderful time <3

HELOOOO
          
          Thank you for adding Sunrise to your reading list! d=(^o^)=b
          
          I hope you enjoy!

Thanks for adding my book « The Worst S.M.U.T. Ever » into your reading list, I hope you’ll enjoy and mostly have a great laugh while reading it :)

In this week's chapter of A Pinch of Passion, we finally get to see exactly what Cedric has been so freaking nervous about. I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone's reactions to exactly what he's been hiding ;)

          Rat Song and The Selkie's Alpha both made it to the next round of @TheAmbys! Huge congrats to everyone else who made it through <3

As most of you can probably guess, I am a huge sucker for couples getting some time to relax and enjoy cooking with each other. After all the chaos of filming, Dante and Cedric have more than earned a little break <3
          
          ...it's the least I can do considering what's going to happen soon ;)
