Hey guys! Sorry for the lack of updates these past weeks. I've been working without a day off for a while now and was finally able to secure two days off a week. With that being said, I will be rewriting Part 1 of Act 1 for No Time To Die. Rewatching The Last Kingdom has made me realize that my fanfic is severely lacking in in-depth character description, development, and in most instances fails to show any kind of connection between characters. Alot of the relationships between characters are also highly unrealistic given the situations they find themselves in. Most characters bond to quickly or are much to friendly toward those they realistically would not be. Overall, it lacks the elements that make a fanfic enjoyable and that make you feel connected to the characters, atleast in my opinion. I will spend my available time updating chapters to fit my vision for the fanfic before moving on to publishing new chapters. The most effect way to grab a reader's attention to ensure they want to continue reading, and I cannot imagine that in its current form there are many who are eagerly awaiting new chapters due to the crappy writing at the beginning. As always, feel free to leave any feedback you have.

Hey guys! Sorry about the lack of updates on my TLK Fanfic. I got two jobs three weeks ago and it has taken me a while to adjust to both schedules. I have been drafting chapters in my freetime and will be posting them one after the other once I have finished. Again, I'm really sorry for the lack of updates but working two jobs is exhausting. I hope you all are having a good week. Look forward to more updates soon.

Sorry for the long wait for Chapter Nine, school work really kicked my a$$ over the break. The next chapter should be up within 2 to 3 days. I'll be working on the next few chapters after Chapter Nine is published and will be publishing them one after the other. Again, sorry for the wait. Hopefully as the school year comes to a close, I will have more time to write.

Is Chapter Seven not showing as published for anyone else? For whatever reason, on my screen it shows as unpublished even though I know I did.

Update on this: I had to go into the app on my phone and reupload. Not sure why that happened but apparently various features in Wattpad have been breaking lately.

Spring Break is coming up in two weeks. I'm setting aside time throughout that week off to go back and rewrite earlier Chapters. I'll be adding things like more descriptions, different dialogue, and editing out any errors that slipped past me before publishing. In the Meantime, I will still be updating and adding new chapters. Updates may not be as frequent as they have been this past week as I will be putting my studies first. As always, feel free to leave any feedback you have on the Chapters. Thank you!

I have begun posting To Time To Die on Ao3. It's a lot different than Wattpad, but I found that it offers my stories and a certain level of flexibility that Wattpad doesn't. Chapters are going to look a bit different until I gain more experience with the platform and figure out how to get things to look the way I want. You may also notice that I have dropped the Cast List, Act 1, and Act 1 Part 1 Chapters for now. Until I know whether or not gifs work/can be uploaded on Ao3, I will be refraining from including these Chapters, as they are heavily GIF based and offer little, if any, writing along with them.

So uh...funny enough. Shortly after I posted this I figured out how to use GIFs in Ao3 and I was super pissed.

The internet's not been working right on my phone so I'll be sticking to the computer for now. That being said, updates may be more irregular for a little bit while I settle back into my school schedule. I have a lot of work assigned this semester which is impacting my ability to write. I hope to have Chapter 4 of No Time To Die up soon, but I'm not motivated to write the current section and cannot view the show to rewatch episodes, which is not helping at all.  Quick reminder, just because you don't see anything published doesn't mean I am not writing. I am currently trying to practice writing more descriptive scenes, as I struggle with adding too much dialogue and not enough description of setting. I am considering publishing some Drabbles related to my current work. However, I'm not sure if that's a good idea as it may spoil some ideas I have for Act 2. As always, you're welcome to leave any feedback on the chapters or share your ideas on how I can improve.

Hey guys! Sorry for the lack of updates on my TLK fanfic recently. My wifi/internet has been acting up and I've got school work from hełł. My hope is to update it sometime this week, preferably before Wednesday as I will be having family over then.

Hello there! I don't know if any of you read these but I recently got two accounts who commented on my recently updated story, so I like to put a little PSA out there. 
          
          If you see any accounts advertising outside writing sites or claiming they like your works, please please do not respond. If an outside source wanted to share your work on their site they would do one of two things: do it without your permission (which happens alot sadly) or you would get a message from the official Wattpad account letting you know of this offer. Another way you can easily tell it's a bot is by viewing the profile of the user who messaged you. If you see no works on the site and it has been joined for a while or only recently joined, chances are it's a bot. These accounts will also lack a bio. and be following multiple people with no followers. If you see one of these accounts, please try to report it.
