I participate in very few awards, but the Astania Awards are something I have been looking forward to since they started last year. I am participating this year as well. You should participate too.

@seaselene - Hi ya, Ash, I hope you had a lovely holiday! I spent my time getting packed up, we're getting ready to move back to Northern California--I miss my friends and family. Now, you know I HAVE to read your next book -- I'm dying to know what happens!! You also know much I love your characters and story! I have a little friend I want to send to you, so I really need your address. At least give me your email address so I can at least send you a pic of him. I think you'll like it! Hope all is well with you!
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          Hi ya, @Hi Cat and @Lauren, hope you had a wonderful time off over the holidays! Just wanted to let you know, I'm leaving the book club. I know I still owe Lady Mary her reviews, and I'll finish those up over the weekend. I have so much going on, I just don't have the time. I want you to know how much I've enjoyed working with all these wonderful writers--I will miss them! I will miss you two, too! Best of luck with the club, I will miss it! Hope you had a lovely time off!

Hello dear. I see that you are continuing to read my humble story Modern Crime and hence I have a request I want to put up for you. Basically, I haven't updated/edited the book after advancement arc episode 6, hence those are not the best chapters to read. I hope you'll understand, thank you for your endless support.

@lilac_minded Bro, that’s alright, don’t worry. I’ll just come back again to read the edited part (๑˘︶˘๑).

@seaselene - Ash, you have to read chapter 81! It's really short, but I know you're going to love it. I wrote it especially for you!

@FMClements I’m really excited to read it too! But I’m taking a little break this round—there’s so much cleaning this week, and with the festivals next week, it’s been a bit hectic. I’m not sure I’d be able to finish my assignment properly otherwise. I’ll definitely get back to reading in November though, don’t worry! (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

@XO_Love1316 Hello! You’re most welcome (^▽^) You don’t need to thank me for the feedback—that’s what a book club is for! I really enjoyed reading your story in first-person POV (≧◡≦) Have a lovely day, and your story is wonderful (๑˃ᴗ˂) Bye-bye.

Two years ago, on 23 June 2023, I uploaded the very first part of Heaven in abyss, Hell in paradise. At that time, I had no idea where the story was going or how long it would turn out to be… ( ̄▽ ̄*)ゞ
          
          But today, I’m really grateful. Thank you to everyone who gave this story a chance, who kept reading, who remembered the names and cared about the characters. Your support has meant more than I can say. (╥﹏╥)♡
          
          Volume 1 was completed last year in December. Volume 2 was updated from February to April this year and is currently on hiatus. I do have chapters in the drafts, but I’m still unsure when I’ll be publishing again. (つ﹏<。) Volume 3 is ready — I just need to finalize the pacing, word count, and how I’ll divide the content into chapters. You know… the usual chaos. (¬‿¬ )
          
          There’s no gift this year (I’m tired and a little overworked...) but I wanted to leave behind a small message anyway. Thank you for walking alongside this chaotic journey with me. m(_ _)m
          
          To the old readers — thank you for being here since the beginning!
          To the new readers — welcome! I hope the story brings you some joy.
          To the characters — please stop fighting in my drafts. (ಥ﹏ಥ)
          
          Here’s to two years of heartbreak, healing, chaos, and ghost kings~
          I hope I can keep writing stories that make you feel something. 
          (〃 ̄︶ ̄)人( ̄︶ ̄〃)
          
          With love,
          Ash (one and only in this world)

@seaselene - Hi Ash! Apologies again for being late again....life has been a bit tense, which now seems to be the norm for my family. When it comes to reading your work, I just want to continue reading! It's so good! I'm fine with switching over to the Phoenix Club. It's a little slower than I'd like, because I have to know what's happening to the Water Master! It's less demanding, and I think we could set our own pace as long as we do the minimum. What do you think?

@FMClements Hey! I’m so sorry for the late reply — your message totally got buried in my notifications! (╥﹏╥)
            
            I completely get what you mean though. The regular Astania pace is a lot sometimes. I was thinking something with a lighter load would be way easier to keep up with.
            
            Would you maybe be open to joining the Phoenix Guild of Astania together? It only requires reading four chapters a month, and we could still be partners there if you’re up for it! I didn’t end up joining earlier cause I wasn’t too sure how it worked without a partner — and since partners get the most points, I figured it’d be better with one. 
            
            Let me know what you think!

@seaselene  - Hey Ash! Sorry I haven't been in touch. Life gets a little crazy sometimes. I'm struggling with our book club. The six chapters every 2 weeks is too much. My life is too busy! I don't want to leave, and I certainly want to keep working with you....because you are a wonderful writer and a good friend. What do you think about finding another book club that isn't so stringent so we have time to enjoy our lives? What say you?
