New story! 
          	
          	Title: Semi-Friendly Fire
          	
          	Synopsis: Grey, the lead singer and guitarist of the rock band, Friendly Fire, has more scandals than he does hit records, which is beginning to cause a problem for the band. His manager gives him an ultimatum: Enter into a fake relationship with the "pop prince", Skylar, who is looking to rebrand his image or go on a hiatus and risk replacement for the next album, music video, and promotions. His hands tied, Grey agrees. Much to his surprise, and delight, Skylar isn't the perfect little pop princess he pretends to be. He's cutthroat, feisty, a little wild, and works Grey's nerves like he wouldn't believe; all of which leads to the growing attraction. Because of course Grey can't resist someone that can hold their own, despite the preconceived notions Skylar has about him.
          	
          	Skylar, second guessing his decision to enter into a fake relationship with Grey after their first meeting, doesn't make it easy for the rockstar to get to know him. He's had an awful history with men, and believing that they're all the same, is quick to write Grey off. However, after spending more time getting to know him-in order to really sell the relationship-Skylar starts to have other doubts. Mainly, can he actually keep Grey at an arm's length?

I've made some changes to "In Search Of"
          
          1. The tags have been updated, removing the following: consensual forced feminization, watersports
          
          2. I've added the tag consensual somnophilia
          
          3. If you need to avoid this content, it takes place in Chapter 34.

Thank you so much for reading and voting on my book! Your comments mean so much to me! When I first read A Stroke of Love, I was so captivated by your characters and wanted to write something as beautiful as you had, and the fact that you like my story has really made my day!

Question! 
          
          Do long chapters turn you off as a reader? 
          
          I'm seeing that "a lot of readers" prefer chapters between 1300-2000 words and I typically don't write with a chapter word count in mind. I just write until the characters whisper, 
          
          "This can be continued in the next chapter"

@phoenyxmoon i write chapters that can get super long and reader engagement is still relatively fine for me! sure having chapters above the average length may scare off some but longer chapters def also have their audience here on wattpad, so i'd just focus on what feels best to write for you as a writer :]

@of-wine-and-ecstasy I'm the same way as a reader! I tend to write the way I like to read, but have been thinking more about getting reader engagement.

@phoenyxmoon there isnt really an amount of words that turns me off when i read a story privately (so anything i dont read for review reasons). i think a chapter should go for as long as it feels natural to write or read, which can be 2k, or 5k, or 10k. if the writing flows well, i don't care how long the chapter is! (though i'm also the kind of person that'll happily pause reading in the middle of a chapter and continue where i left off later, which many people dont like doing apparently)
