Erm, so...just as I was contemplating to scrap a big chunk of Lex Sacrata and rewrite it with an ebemies-to-lovers conflict instead...I was notified that the story was apparently passed on to Wattpad staff for further consideration, lol.
I'm still at odds on how exactly to continue it, but this is a nice little boost to have! Maybe it'll help me get back in the groove and figure out what I really wanna do with this story. If you've read and enjoyed it so far, I would love to have your feedback ❤️

@SunKatt awwww ❤️ I do agree, though, their friendship is really sweet! You'll be happy to know I've had another think about it and decided to leave it as is, I would have had to change too many things to fit in that conflict and I didn't want to rewrite the whole story.
@alcoholandcaffeine it’s not that I’m not a fan of that but I like the way the Queen and Elliot( sorry if that’s wrong) are already friends and he likes her, it’s sweet. Although her head guard is a close second
Definitely worth finishing
Anddddd that's it, 10 chapters, approximately 15k words! They're not great, but it's honest work, lol. If anything, I'm just happy I got to write. So if you've got a moment, maybe you'd like to read ❤️

@ElizabethYWells Well done!! Maybe you can work on completing it? I imagine the actual wait, if Wattpad does respond at all, will be longer than end of August.
Chapter 4 of Lex Sacrata just dropped, and I have a note for those of you who have been reading it so far - I realised I've nearly got 15k words written already, so I decided to enter the @justwriteit 10-chapter challenge. That means two things: 1. I had to reorganize my chapters into 1500-word chunks, to make sure I'll have 10 of them in 15k words. As a result, only the second half of chapter 4 is new content. The rest has not changed, except for minor fillers to smooth out the transitions. 2. I will have to spam-post the other 6 chapters before the end of the week because I won't have any time afterwards. Quality may not be top-notch. If you made it this far - thank you, and check out the story here: https://www.wattpad.com/story/348661938-lex-sacrata
Felt cute, might delete later lol. I've been brewing a lil vampire story for a bit (I know, I know...) and decided to test run the first couple chapters on here as well. You can check it out if you're feeling so inclined.

If you've read my selkies, you might know the way I do speculative fiction is as realistic as possible, so you may find my vampires somewhat different from the standard Dracula-inspired fare. Whether that's good or bad, remains to be seen!
Hey, friends! After 8 years of incongnito membership, I've decided to try publishing on Inkitt as well. For now I'm putting Seacliff up over there (same content, reorganized chapters due to different wordcount expectations), you can find it under the same title, and me, under the same author name (Maria Killjoy). Hope to see you there!
Just learned this morning that The Spying Cat made it into the top 25 of The Historical Award hosted by @HistoricalFiction ❤️ If you haven't already, you can read The Spying Cat here: https://www.wattpad.com/story/335034465-the-spying-cat-onc-2023
The Spying Cat is now an @OpenNovellaContest shortlister! I was never sure that I'd be able to finish this story I published on a whim, let alone that it would make it this far! I really am quite glad, and proud, and grateful :) To celebrate, I put together some historical fun facts you might be interested in checking out: https://www.wattpad.com/1348333948-the-spying-cat-onc-2023-shortlister-author%27s-note Thank you ❤️
I've crunched out the last few chapters in a bit of a hurry but - it is done! The Spying Cat is marked complete ❤️ Just in time for the ONC deadline. It's my first time making it this far and I'm pretty pleased with the story I managed to tell in 3 months under 40k words.
Hope you also enjoy binging it:
