I wasn't able to do much writing yesterday, since I was out in the city all day with my Mama-San.

@Dandan0_3 Yeah, I've got no clue, though you still aren't showing up in my follower list. Please don't apologize, I know you have a *ton* on your plate. I've just been highly discouraged because, as I said in this announcement, it's pretty much been a full-blown ghost town on my page from *everyone*, not just a small handful of you guys, and, unfortunately, *still* hasn't let up. I've definitely been better, but, as always, I'll try my hardest to power through this crap & persevere. <3 Stay safe, stay hydrated, keep your gorgeous, tiara/flower crown-adorned head held high, & know that I'm sending infinite bear hugs, well-wishes, & starbursts of light your way, my darling Dani. <333 ~Forever yours, Lizzie

@SunsetMercer Hi love, not exactly sure why wattpad keeps unfollowing people I've followed for a while, so I apologize about that. I'm sorry for my silence. I've been busy outside of here--I've got a surgery coming up that I have to do a bunch of pre-op testing for. And I've been exhausted because of some medical issues. I can hardly focus to write my own stories, and I don't like giving comment waves if my brain is not with it. As you know. I hope you are okay♡ ♡Dani

LISTEN UP! @MDjarin17 @AthenaPersephone9 @SkullantacySmith @Dandan0_3 @Marie_jkkkkkkk @UrGirlADHD @starisdepressed @eggywegggyi2 @E_Walsh @sfridley @SilverShadowwalker @Milicaorevi7 @mimia_k @melanindreamerrr @M-Sollene @B1ana_Vack3r @MvonSchantz ~ ~ ~ I've officially discontinued "All-Star Awards". The amount of boundary-breaking on "All-Star", "More Than Fate", & "Sunset Boulevard" done by Zenderfall was the final straw for me. I tried my best to see my contest through, to keep it running, & that has been a bittersweet rollercoaster I've been on since Fall '24. Enough was enough. I deleted "All-Star" & my 'All-Star Entries' reading list. It's over. ~ ~ ~ To those of you who *have* been patient, respectful of my established boundaries at *all* times while on my page, & have cheered me on constantly, I can't thank you enough. I hope you know how much I cherish our friendships & how much I ADORE having you in this little community of mine. <3 ~ ~ ~ To *all* of my followers, if you want nothing to do with me or my page now that "All-Star" isn't happening anymore, just unfollow & leave. Only continue following me if you *are* willing to abide by *all* of my established boundaries at *all* times, whether you're engaging with my message board or one of my books. I don't have *any* time, patience, or love for those who *refuse* to respect boundaries & *won't* behave in a genuinely respectful manner. ~ ~ ~ For those of you who are new, *all* of my fanfic series are completely *fandom-blind friendly*, so even if you aren't familiar with the given saga's fandom, you can still enjoy my books within 'em. <3 As long as you abide by *all* of my boundaries while on my page & ask respectful, appropriate questions when necessary, we should get along just fine. ~ ~ ~ Since "All-Star" is done for, I'll be working on SB in place of it {referring back to the recent list of projects I said I'd be focusing on for the time being}. ~ ~ ~ Stay safe out there. <3 ~Love, Lizzie Lupin

@MDjarin17 Thank you, darling. I appreciate every bit of sincere support you guys have given me. <3 I don't know...we'll just have to wait & see what happens. ~Love, in every lifetime & universe, Pearls

@eggywegggyi2 Yeah, it is, & the 'this is why we can't have nice things' sentiment was one of my first thoughts when I made my final decision regarding "All-Star"'s fate. I'm...I'm slowly getting through it. Hoping to make some writing progress tonight on my current projects, & maybe even a few to-be-debuted ones, if my headspace allows. <3 Thank you for sticking around, love. I appreciate it & dearly hope you'll continue to enjoy the various adventures I write once you're ready to dive back into 'em. <33 Stay safe & hydrated out there, my friend. <333 ~Love, Lizzie

I'm done being online for the night. Some not-so-pleasant things happened online, & now, I legitimately feel sick to my stomach.
I'll--hopefully--be in the right headspace to come back online later today {Sunday, 3/22} after I unwind from the stress & get a good night's sleep.
Until we meet again.

@SunsetMercer No need to thank me, Pearls. I'm sorry your night didn't improve, but I'm glad you took some down-time before going to bed. Yes, hopefully that won't happen again for a while. Most people are fairly good about it.

@MDjarin17 Thank you, my sweet Freddie-Fay. My night didn't really improve; I just gave myself a bit of time to unwind before I went to bed. <3 I'll be explaining what happened in further detail during my next announcement, but, in short, it was the result of a ridiculous amount of boundary-breaking from one user. Fingers crossed that I won't have to deal with anything like it again for a long time. Thank you, yet again, for your unconditional love & support. It means everything to me. <3333 ~Forever yours, Rosie-Riveter

Welcome to the weekend, sweetsparks. <3 @MDjarin17 @AthenaPersephone9 @SkullantacySmith @Dandan0_3 @Marie_jkkkkkkk @UrGirlADHD @starisdepressed @eggywegggyi2 @E_Walsh @sfridley ~ ~ ~ Mine has been pretty bittersweet thus far, unfortunately, but I'm hoping things will start brightening up soon, both on the writing side of things, as well as sincere, boundary-abiding comment waves on my works, fingers crossed. <33 ~ ~ ~ Based off the feedback you gave on my semi-recent message board questionnaire, my main writing focus will be on the following books- ~ "More Than Fate"- Book 1 of my fandom-blind friendly Jasper Hale x Fem OC saga, More Than Anything. One of my most-loved books by fandom long-haulers & newcomers alike. {Stars Ms. Mackenzie "Kansas" Forge} ~ "Of Schemes & Sparks"- Book 1 of my fandom-blind friendly Carlos De Vil x Fem OC series, The Spark Saga. Slowly getting closer to being a popular source of excitement for you guys. {Stars Ms. Elodie "Gracie" Grace} ~ "The Scarlet Start"- Book 1 of my fandom-blind friendly Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events saga, The Curious Chronicles. My first fanfic series in which the rating is 'Mature' & the leading lady is *NOT* paired off romantically with a canon character. Seems to be on the same level as OS&S, popularity-wise, for the time being. The main canon source material I'm drawing from is the 3-Season Netflix adaptation, with--possibly--a few book-only easter eggs tossed in the mix. {Stars Ms. Morgan "Dahlia" Baudelaire} {There is *NO* explicitly sensual content!} ~ ~ ~ I will also be sparing some time to continue working on these side projects- ~ "From Shadows to Starlight"- My fandom-blind friendly imagine series & one-shot companion collection to MTA. ~ "Toil & Trouble"- My fandom-blind friendly imagine series & one-shot companion collection to my MitM saga trifecta. ~ To-Be-Debuted compendium... ~ "All-Star Awards" {MANY SPOTS OPEN!!!} ~ ~ ~ That's it for right now. ~All of my love, Lizzie

Happy Thursday, my loves.

Please don't forget to fully read & reply to all 5 as soon as you're able to. As you know, every bit of sincere input means the world to me. ~ ~ ~ Next, "All-Star", my awards that's been running since Fall '24- ~ It *IS* still *WIDE OPENNNN* for book entry submissions. ~ If you know anyone, reader and/or writer, {yourself included} who would like to submit 1 or more entries for consideration in it, or even just sincerely read & engage with it--while abiding by *ALL* of my established boundaries, of course--then, by all means, recommend "All-Star" to 'em, ask me any respectful & appropriate questions you've got regarding any part of it, etc. ~ I really don't want to have to discontinue "All-Star", so the more sincere, boundary-abiding souls you can rec it to, the merrier. ~ As of right now, I'm planning on writing & posting a new "All-Star" chapter on April 4th {a Saturday}. Hopefully, by then, there'll be a noticeable *increase* of genuine, boundary-respecting "All-Star" entry submissions in *multiple* categories. ~ ~ ~ Last, but certainly not least, your girl's comment wave & message catch-up- ~ I'm almost caught up on replying to the recent messages from you guys. ~ Comment waves... *That* will be a much longer process, since I was behind on 'em before my hiatus, due to my mental struggles. Your continued patience with my delays is truly appreciated. ~Love, Lizzie

@Dandan0_3 Yeah, I've had moments like that myself a fair number of times. Double-checking is always a good strategy to use. <3 Thank you so very much, my love. Yes, ma'am, fingers crossed! <33 Of course, & I always appreciate the heartfelt reassurances from you angels. <333 It hasn't been too bad so far, & I'm hoping to be productive writing-wise before my night ends. <3 ~Love, forever & always, Lizzie

Hi lovely♡
I just wanted to pop in and say I fully intend on picking up on SB today.♡
My appointment yesterday didn't go as well as I'd hoped and I got some not so pleasant news. So my headspace wasn't with it to fully engage.
I just wanted to let you know so you didn't feel like I forgot about you♡♡
Love you always and forever,
♡Dani
Dandan0_3
@SunsetMercer Hi lovely♡ Sorry for falling behind on these notifs. As far as my appointment goes--it's okay. I knew ahead of time that it might not go as well as I had hoped. I will be having a surgery in the near future, but have some testing to complete before that can happen. So, it is going to be a lot of appointments and recovery, but with that I hope to start feeling a lot better! Thank you for always being so sweet and understanding, my lovely Lizzie. You are a gem and I love you dearly! ♡ Dani

Nope, screw the rest of my hiatus. I would've liked to *officially* return under *much* better circumstances, but the universe does not seem to be inclined to swing in my favor on that count.
~ ~ ~
I posted a very important announcement 2 days ago that hasn't gotten a single reply yet. It contains several detailed questions for *all* of you to honestly & respectfully answer once you have the proper headspace & window of time to do so.
~ ~ ~
Due to the absence of lovely, lengthy, boundary-abiding comment waves that's been plaguing my page worse than a Dementor for more than a week now, I don't have any new chapters to share, since my writing inspiration & motivation have been running on stray fumes lately.
The most I've been able to manage on a somewhat okay day has been a few new dialogue threads I've added to the rough draft of "VII"'s 'Our Leading Ladies {Part 12}' chapter.
~ ~ ~
I'm hoping with all my storyteller might that things will improve. It's all I really *can* do at this point...
You guys know the drill.

I've still got a long way to go, but I know I'll eventually beat my writer's block & second-guessing back to the Tartarus hole they crawled out of, especially when I've got darling, sweet-as-sugar sisters like you, Dani, & Melia by my side. <33333 ~All of my love, Lizzie Lupin

@SunsetMercer I'm caught up now, and I do apologize for being a neglectful muppet. I hope my (extra) long response to your previous announcement helps. I do adore your graphics and having to make my own for this awards I'm trying to host after the lovely human I was working with's tablet broke has been a nightmare, but I am trying... I think they'll be alright... I hope they will. It's about the judging anyway and how smoothly it all runs and that's what I'm good at anyway. So.. I know whatever you've created, whether writing or graphics, will be adored because YOU are adored. I'm sorry your hiatus had to end this way, my love, I do hope you're able to still find some comfort and respite in everything going on and that things continue to go swimmingly for you behind the scenes with your Nana. Again, so happy to hear that she's cancer free! Adore you across every multiverse, ~ Eve

Every single one is important & all sincere, respectful feedback is welcome.} 2) Are you in need of a catch-up list of books from me? {I ask because most of you are behind on reading more than one of my projects & I don't want anyone to lose track.} 3) Do you have *any* sincere, appropriate questions/concerns for me regarding my page-wide boundaries and/or books? {Per usual, I'll be glad to answer 'em to the best of my ability} 4) Out of my *currently published* works, which ones do you *MOST* want to see new chapters of after my hiatus ends, & why? {Give as much reasoning as you'd like} 5) Out of my *future* projects I've hinted at, which ones do you *MOST* want to see debuted in the near future, & why? {Give as much reasoning as your heart desires} ~ ~ ~ I hope everyone is doing alright--staying safe, hydrated, & giving themselves plenty of downtime. I haven't directly heard from most of you in a week, if not longer, & I'd be lying if I said I wasn't getting worried. You aren't just my darling audience members. You're my sweetsparks, my friends, my community. I've been missing the vibrance & serotonin boosts your beautiful presence brings to this internet corner I've cultivated over the years.
