Why do I want to write a Gally!TMR fanfic???
          	
          	(Context: I’m not even in the TMR fandom. I just love Will Poulter.)
          	
          	(Even more context: I’m probably not gonna do it since I have so much to write, but it’s a nice pipe dream. One day, maybe.)

OMG guys!!!!!!!!! It's only taken me 5 years, 3 months and 23 days (yes, I had Google do the math for me ><) but I've FINALLY  finished ETOILE!!!!!! I'm so freakin' excited since it has been a LONG time coming. Sometimes I honestly never thought I would make it, but here we are!! I still have two more books (EVERGREEN and my Captain Marvel adaptation) before I can write for Avengers 2012, but I'm closer than ever!!!
          
          I only have the post-credits scene to write for ETOILE, but I'll finish that tomorrow. You can expect the rest of the book to be released this Thursday :)

Hi,
           I just wanted to come on here and formally apologize for my actions in the comment section of your (absolutely phenomenal book) “The Wastelands of Time”
          Maybe like 2 weeks ago I wrote “ROBBED” in reaction to an event (or lack thereof) that happened (or didn’t) in act ii, I’m not sure what chapter because I’m so embarrassed to have done that so I can’t even bring myself to check, especially after seeing your reply to another comment regarding smut and how you write. It is so freaking relatable how you feel like it would fit but you don’t think you can write it successfully (I don’t know if that’s the case now, as the comment was a long time ago, I think) and I have encountered that feeling so many times (I have 17 drafts currently). 
          (I also saw in your bio that you are asexual, and I don’t know your placement on the spectrum, and I obviously am not asking because that’s an extreme violation of your privacy, but if that plays a role in your view of smut, I TOTALLY get it, you should write what you are comfortable with)
          Anyway, I thought I’d clear up some things if you saw my comment (if you didn’t I feel stupid but very happy you were spared the pain of my insensitivity), but I also wanted to spout my feelings on your book.
          OH MY GOSH. This book is everything. This book is literally now my favorite. Not just because of the topic, but because of the writing, which is so lyrical and witty and  (please see what I did there). I could harp about it all day long (and I have to my friends, quite a bit.) but I won’t because the comment box is running out of characters. I’ve read a lot of fanfic, but this one isn’t even top ten or top three, this book is the one. 
          Thank you for giving me the experience of trying to recommend this to people but not saying the website, by detailing the characters like I knew them personally, adoring on the plot, and griping with jealously over the TBT format.
          Thank you for giving me desiderium in book form. <3

@MultiFandSimper Hi! First of all, there are absolutely NO hard feelings about your comment; you're not the first one to say that and probably won't be the last. In fact, I feel like the readers are speaking my mind in those situations since I feel "robbed" myself when I can't write the smut even though I want to XD. I have no problems reading smut, but I just feel super embarrassed and cringey if I try to write it myself. Since you brought it up and I don't mind sharing, I'm aro/ace so real life relationships are off the table for me- which also contributes to my inability to write smut.
            
            I'm so happy that you love my book so much! The first section (with Five and Dolores in the apocalypse) was the first "original" fic I was ever able to finish writing, so it's important to me and it means a lot when people love it just as much as I do. I can't wait to continue writing in August!

I can't get over how perfect the song 'Little Bit Better' by Caleb Hearn is for ETOILE. It's as if he *literally* wrote it with Loki/Eleanora in mind. I mean, 'He underestimates the size of his heart
          He can be laughing, but he's got enough pain to fill up New York City
          I met somebody so full of scars
          The world's on his shoulders, but he won't fall apart' is SO Loki, while 'I met somebody, selfless and kind
          She's got a smile even when she isn't fine
          She can be hurting, but she's got enough love to fill up Tennessee' perfectly describes Eleanora. It's also a total banger, which is always a plus.

@TayAstra2005 I haven’t decided yet, but I do have some ideas if I do the Loki series. It’s just that I’ve already written a book for it (EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD) and IDK if I want to make the commitment a second time, lol. At least *a* scene will probably be included in the epilogue I have planned.

@fivehxrgreeves will your Etoile fic go on to the events of the Loki series?

I had one (1) dream about Newt Scamander and now I want to pick OF MONSTERS & MEN back up again. I fully intend to finish it, of course (as the completionist in me dictates) but I just wish the motivation hadn't come when I'm already committed to finishing my Loki and HTTYD books *insert crying emoji here*

Ooo what was the dream?

Okay, so technically I DID promise myself that I wouldn't publish any more books until I finished some of the ones that I'm currently working on. But there are two exceptions/loopholes to this rule:
          1. The newest season of TUA has come out and takes precedence over everything (which has unfortunately not happened yet)
          OR
          2. Someone else publishes a book FOR me, which is the case :)
          I'm excited to announce that I've decided to, for the first time ever, co-author a FF. I'll be working with @-eattherich to bring you a new Five Hargreeves FF (is anyone surprised? lol.) 
          
          Since it will be posted on their account, let me know if you want dts!!
