Hello guys! Like I promised, I'm back with the surprise!
          	
          	Before that, a quick life update: this week has been crazy hectic, but I got a 10/10 on both of my exams, yeeey! My schedule is still completely full, and since I couldn't update all my books this week, Reader of the Week is running for two weeks instead. I'll announce the winner next Sunday. Because it’s a double round, the winner gets to read the first unreleased chapter of The Devil's Doll and choose another prize! 
          	
          	Now, let’s talk about the surprise. What would you say if I told you I'm planning to write a parallel universe where characters from all of my different books can finally meet? :)
          	
          	We’ll decide the pairings through Insta stories. You tell me a pair you want to see (like TMD Jun and Starboy Ruby), I’ll take the most requested ones, and you guys vote for the winner. I’ll write the chapters on my Seventeen Imagines book weekly.
          	
          	I already have a few duos in mind that I know you are absolutely going to love, and this is the perfect chance for us to just have fun and get creative. You can literally choose whoever you want, even a crazy duo like IH Nabi and DID Joshua. The characters can be from any of my books, even the ones that haven't been updated yet. The very first crossover (a little gift from me) will drop next week. It was supposed to come out this week, but things just got too busy.
          	
          	Huge thanks to my gc, buddyverse, for inspiring this idea when talking about how cool a crossover would be :) 
          	
          	Please leave me some feedback and let me know if you love this idea or if it's just a crazy thought in my head. I'm completely open to your requests and ideas, whether it's a specific duo or a whole group of characters meeting up. Let me know if you have any questions ^^
          	
          	Also, I was supposed to update TMD today, but I couldn't finish the chapter in time :( I really hope you guys understand. Don't worry, daily updates start next week, so get ready!

Hey guys! 
          
          I totally forgot to announce the Reader of the Week winner over here too! As some of you probably already saw on instagram, a huge congratulations to @youthis17! The game has officially restarted now, so everyone has a brand new chance to win.
          
          I wanted to pop in and let you know that I’ve edited the descriptions for all of my books. I included the tropes and plot breakdowns this time, so it'll be super easy for you to check them out and see what catches your eye.
          
          Also, this week is going to be pretty rough for me. I have my final thesis presentation and my bachelor exam both happening. You know I always try to keep you guys updated on my life, so don't worry, I'll definitely let you know how it all goes. After that, next week is graduation, and in two weeks I have my master's entrance exam. Things are about to get incredibly hectic, but I'm going to be here updating you as much as I possibly can :)
          
          On the bright side, I have a surprise coming up for you this weekend once I'm finally done with all this thesis stress. Plus, as you know, Troublemaker is so close to being completed. Guess who is going to start a new book right after? You guys are going to decide which one it will be ^^
          I hope you’re as excited as I am, because ugh, I have so many surprises lined up for you.
          
          Anyway, please take care of yourselves, and make sure to stay hydrated and eat well. Love you guys!♡

THE FIRST WINNER IS HERE!
          
          Hey guys! I am officially back to announce the very first winner of our Reader of the Week game.
          
          Before I drop the name, I just want to say that choosing only one person was absolute hell, in the best way possible! You guys went completely feral in the comment sections and made this so hard for me. The good news? This is a weekly thing, so everyone is going to get a chance to win ^^
          
          Without further ado...our very first crown goes to @prettylittlething000! Congratulations dear!
          
          I just posted a story over on my instagram listing the top readers who caught my eye this week, and it’s pretty obvious why she took the title. Not only is she always supportive, but she dropped over 80 comments on each new chapter (my notifications were screaming and I loved it). Plus, I caught her recommending my books on a message board, which means the world to me. Thank you so much!
          
          Go ahead and DM me on instagram to claim your prize!
          
          For everyone else, round 2 starts RIGHT NOW! If the people I mentioned in my IG story keep up this incredible energy, you have a massive head start for next week. 
          
          Let's keep it fun, keep it fair play, and see who takes the next crown. Good luck, guys! I love you ♡

itsmiawmiaww

Thank you so much for updating despite your busy schedule! I'll always do my best to vote on every chapter you post!!♡

Hey! Thank you so much for reaching out and saying this, really. It means a lot to me <3 I’m really glad you’re enjoying my books and I will keep doing my best to update as much as I can!❤️

Hey guys! I’m back with the official details for the Reader of the Week game!
          
          For those of you who have instagram, you can see the full slide breakdown over on my profile (@the8buddy). But if you don't have IG, don't worry! Here is exactly how it works and how you can win:
          
          How to Play (The Rules):
          
          - Follow me here on Wattpad (and on Instagram if you have it).
          - Vote on every new chapter update.
          - Leave quality comments/feedback (give me your actual thoughts and chaotic theories).
          - Read and interact with at least two of my ongoing books.
          
          The Rewards (Winner picks ONE):
          
          - Classified spoilers: Major plot secrets that stay strictly between us (please, please).
          - Exclusive Q&A: Ask me anything about the plots, my characters, my life and I'll answer honestly.
          - Time travel: Read the next chapter of ANY of my books before I officially post it.
          
          The fine print:
          I’ll pick a new winner every single week (or every two weeks if life gets crazy and I don't update enough). Winners will be announced right here on this board and on my IG stories. If you win and don't have insta to DM me, just send me a message right here and we can find a way together to claim your prize (I'm open to other apps as well, such as Snapchat, Tiktok, X etc.)
          
          Tracking starts right now with my latest updates. Good luck, guys!

GUYS GUYS!!
          
          So, I know a lot of you will be done with exams soon too, and summer vacation is coming yeyyy! I won't officially be done with school until the end of july because of my master's entrance exam and my bachelor's exam, but I am still going to try to be super active. I'm hoping for daily updates so we can start the new books!
          
          Anyways, here is the thing: I was thinking of making a game for "Reader of the week" or "Reader of the month" (we can choose which one together later). Basically, the most active reader (based on a few criteria) will win, and they can choose one of three rewards: big spoilers, a Q&A session where they can ask me anything, or getting to read the next chapter of whatever book they want before I officially update it (you can come up with different ideas). I was thinking we should do this weekly so more people have a chance to win. I'm waiting for your opinions because I am pretty excited about this.
          
          Also, if you guys have any other ideas, I would be the happiest to hear them! And don't forget about the free writing courses I was talking about on Instagram!! I will officially set up a sign up sheet after I am done with uni, and everyone is welcome!
          
          Okay, that's really it for now. Time to go back to writing :) I will update today hihi
           
          Love you, guys, take care! ♡
