Hey y'all, it's an update. 
          
          I imagine all of you have very shiny, very pointy pitchforks by now. 
          
          I've been working on the site these last few days. Part of the delay was definitely research related—what I can and can't do. How to do it, blah. Boring shit. The other part is just... LIFE. The world is so heavy, we definitely need the fluffy idiots back! 
          
          But anyway, I am working on getting things set up, and that these things are being finicky. There are many moving parts and wires to jiggle in my effort to have a nice space and not a bug-filled nightmare. (I am also slightly insane.) While I have tried to not be overly ambitious, I probably am. (Ask me how long I worked on a privacy policy today...)
          
          But everything will return, and it is in the works. I haven't been hit by a bus. Or a meteor. So stay tuned and thank you for your (never ending) patience.

Is there any way I can buy a copy? I miss these books so much.

Hi! I love your vampire stories so much and have been devastated since I can’t read Amaranthine anymore on Wattpad! I can’t find it on your main card page but is there a different way I can read it? 

**All my fanfictions have been removed from Wattpad and will not return.**
          
          This is due to the recent scraping of AO3 (April 2025) for the purpose of training generative AI. I did not consent to this and I have good reason to believe that most of my stories have been stolen from AO3. 
          
          So how is that Wattpad's problem? I don't think either site is doing enough to stop the theft of work. Not that it mattered in the end, but my stories were archive-locked on AO3 for 5 months and it did not matter. They were still compromised. I do not even have that option on Wattpad. 
          
          I also haven't been able to find out what Wattpad does to prevent scraping of works. 
          
          Because of this, I do not have much faith or trust left for these platforms. But I also know how many of you love this story, this world, and of course, our boys, WinTeam. So, I will be self-hosting my fanfictions off of AO3 and off of Wattpad. This will make them permanently safe and free.
          
          I completely understand if you don't want to sign up for yet another site, I won't pressure you. I will just leave the option for you to decide and let you know where Amaranthine lives so you can visit when you want to.
          
          Once I've built the website, it'll be on my carrd link.
          
          Thank you. 

I told myself that November would be the return to writing and it has been so far. I have updated Ch. 1 of Cooking Club to remove some errors it had in it. So most of my "writing" so far has actually been editing, but I am still trying to get back in the swing of things.

Dropping in to say that today I went to the Unicorn Cafe from Amaranthine. :3 
          
          I know I'm a big dumb nerd but it made me happy to sit in "Win and Team's seat," drink what Team did, and see this place in real life. :''')
          
          I put some pictures up on Twitter!

Small update. I am in Thailand and had the surgery I needed. There might be another surgery before I leave. Not sure. I'm doing well. Minimal pain. I know "surgery" is a scary word, but my life is not in danger, and the Thai medical system is very good!
          
          I wish I could send pictures as I have seen a few neat things/places, but mostly have been stuck in the hospital or close to it for a week. 
          
          Hope everyone is doing well!

Been doing a terrible job of replying to comments. I hope to get through them today and take a tiny-ish break from working every freaking day. Who knows maybe I'll also make a cover or something for one of my other stories or write a few sentences of fiction. 
          
          I miss writing.

Hello it's me again. I keep seeing stuff on reddit about people's stories and accounts getting deleted. I don't think my stories violate any of the ToS, but... JUST IN CASE:
          ***My stuff is on AO3. /More of my stuff/ is on AO3.***
          
          To be real, the only reason I started putting some stuff on WP was because I was concerned it would be copy/pasted and stolen. To my knowledge, that hasn't happened. (Woo.) 
          
          The plan was always to have AO3 and wattpad be more or less similar in what I had posted, but god do I have a love/hate relationship with making covers. -_- 
          
          Anyway... This is just a PSA that if Amaranthine and this acct goes poof, it isn't lost. And don't worry, I back-up all of my writing. If you do read Amaranthine on AO3, just note that the chapter numbers are not the same, but the content is.

Noticed some new folks on Amaranthine. Hi! <waves>
          
          
          Just dropping in to say that fics are continuing to be on hold due to work and life, unfortunately. I do have more stuff to read on AO3, but haaaaa it's more WIPs.  :x
          
          No stories are dropped, mind you. I intend to finish everything I have started, but yeah, medical stuff threw me a curve ball. Sorry.
