Between The Crystals, Heartfire, and The Virus Within #1 have just joined a 7 week read-for-free event!
          	FYI: BTC will be fully posted and completed during this time.
          	
          	(For some reason, ads have reappeared in those stories. I'm not sure why, and have emailed Wattpad to see if they can fix it.)

          	  Wattpad was kind enough to include it in the promo, so I'm happy you got to read it again!
          	  I'm hoping to publish it in print/ebook next year.  :)

Hey Crystal, do you have a discord server or community? If so can I get a link to it?

CrystalScherer

@Chrysalis_The_Vessel 
            Yes, I have a Discord server for followers: discord.gg/GhPzVetSYK
            It's pretty quiet right now, since I'm working on a story offline, but there's a number of regulars.

            Also, if you're looking for a place to hang out with fellow Wattpad authors, share your book, or participate in book clubs, there is a Wattpad Dreamland discord server that's open to everyone.
            
            https://discord.gg/dreamlandcommunity 
            
            There is a section for sharing books near the bottom (please only post in the proper channels!), and there are plenty of channels to talk about writing in general. (Many people mute some/most of the discord channels since there are so many things going on.)

Hey, I just wanted to double check something with you... I noticed 4 of your books are on AO3, I just wanted to double check that it is indeed your account and not just someone re posting your work. The works that are on there are Upon Wings of Change, Looking To Belong, Dawn of the Starships and When The Heart Sings. I think I posted a comment back in 2024 when I found it on AO3. Now back then I didn't think it was a fake account because you only posted 4 of your books and knowing some of them are under contract made me believe it was genuinely you since otherwise they'd probably post all your stories right? Anyways you haven't replied to any comments (which if you're not used to the AO3 platform or don't really check on it that's totally understandable) but since you reply to loads of the wattpad fans it seemed unlike you a bit. 
          
          Anyways I figured I'd check with you just in case. I can send you links if you need them but yeah, love you and all your work. I hope you're taking good care of yourself bye bye<3

@NatsuMalo 
            Thanks for swinging by! I did cross-post those four stories on several platforms, including AO3. 
            I checked, but I don't see any comment notifications on AO3, so I'm not sure how to find them on that site?

Hey crystal, I just found your Amazon page recently and have a question,  are you planning on putting any of your zombie books on there? If so I'd 1000000% buy them all just to let my family read them

CrystalScherer

@Chrysalis_The_Vessel 
            Eventually, yes!  Right now they're in exclusive contracts with Wattpad. A Different Virus Heartfire should be coming out late this year. No ETA on The Virus Within.

Hey, sorry but I believe I asked this a couple of years ago when Wattpad first came out with their audio feature and just want a potential update. Your Wattpad Originals A Different Virus and The Virus Within Series, is it possible to get them on Audible or are they exclusively on Wattpad? I love those books and would love to be able to listen to them again, especially since I don't really have the time to sit down and read anymore.

@CrystalScherer AWESOME!!! I don't mind waiting for an audiobook version since its my preferred method of reading right now. Just hearing that A Different Virus is under revision for publishing has me gushing with excitement!

            Right now, they're exclusive to Wattpad.
            A Different Virus is under revision for publishing, hopefully late this year, although audiobooks take longer.
            
            I don't think the audio features returned to the Paid stories. Although they are back on my free stories (the loud ads drive me crazy. Lol.) (I do have audiobooks of some of my other stories on Amazon, such as Upon Wings of Change, Looking to Belong, Dawn of the Starships, etc).

I use to listen to A Different Virus when Wattpad had their audio feature, but I'm unaware if they returned the feature at all. I honestly don't come on Wattpad as often as I did back then, only when checking on updates.

Slowly working through Heartfire, and I was wondering: when will that be in print? I remember you saying later this year, is that still true?
          I read print books better, and I could definitely take it more places with an offline version!

CrystalScherer

@Starfirealt 
            Yes! I'm hoping it's ready for publishing later this year, probably Nov or Dec - it really depends how much free time I get to work on it and the availability of professional editors and their speed.

Hi Crystal! I just finished the virus within series and thoroughly enjoyed reading it<3 
          Not gonna lie, I read each book in 2 - 3 days per book
          I was wondering if you were planning to do a sequel or some sort of afterward? 
          I know myself and likely many others would eat up anything you may choose to add<3
          
          I can't wait for when you're able to sell physical copies and will most definitely be biding my time until then! 
          If a night stalker can be patient for the name of the game I can most definitely wait like a dog waiting for you to drop a crumb

@CodieBrown378 
            It's definitely a cool opening if someone wanted to write a fanfiction, although Trinity was firmly established as not feeling romantic love, so I can't really deviate that far from the zombie rules I made. (Unless she took the cure, which we know she wouldn't, or got hit by another random drug, but Louise is gone.)

@CrystalScherer I know you don't usually write romance but the chemistry between trinity and that mutated terror (I forget his name) is very interesting to me. Trinity may not feel romantic attraction but even just reading about him following her around like a puppy (even more than he did) would be really fun lol. Thats just my wishful thinking though. I love your books!

            I can't really think of a way to continue past the 5 books, other than a scene of Trinity and her father.
            But I do have plans to work on Daniel's POV one day, starting from when he was human. Despite him and Trinity being in so many scenes, they really lived very different lives.
            
            I appreciate the patience! Anything with writing takes so much time, and it never happens as fast as I expect or want.  :)

I love your books so much, I noticed that Between The Crystals has Season 1 on it, is it part of a series you'll be uploading in the future?

CrystalScherer

@BabyBlueKMT 
            Instead of splitting the series into 4 "books", we kept them all in one "book".
            I'm not sure why Wattpad added Season 1 as a subtitle? I checked, but there doesn't seem to be any way for me to remove it.
            The book/series is completed though.
