☆ TRIPLE POINT ☆ My very first original novel, Triple Point (with its unfortunate acronym TP), reached 40k reads! Thanks so much to everyone who has read even a little of this story, and I really appreciate your support! (Sorry, I'm a little behind on replying to comments, but I will hopefully get to them soon!) It's been about four years since I started writing that ginormous hunk of +300k words, and while it could use some brushing up, I'm proud of the story I created. ❤️

Ultima Ratio is now complete—again! Thanks so much to everyone who has supported me throughout this amazing—and completely unexpected—journey! Whether you started reading when I began posting this story in October 2022, or if you joined as soon as it was marked complete a few days ago, or even if you've cheered me on from the sidelines, I greatly appreciate all of you!
          
          When I started brainstorming this story—just over two years ago, on April 5, 2022—I definitely hadn't expected it would be offered to join the Wattpad Originals program. It had about 3k reads at the time, and since then, it's grown faster than I ever thought it would! This story has helped me learn so much, and while it was a little tough at times, I'm proud of the story I created, and I'm excited to see where I'll go from here!
          
          If you've been waiting to binge Ultima Ratio, now's the time! Up to chapter 82 is available for FREE, and the last 10 parts can be unlocked for 5 coins each.
          https://www.wattpad.com/story/323611462-ultima-ratio
          
          ☆ ULTIMA RATIO ☆
          
          When UN Army Captain Akira Dunn is sent to investigate an outlandish legend, she doesn't question her orders. Realistically, she knows it's impossible that a goddess lives among them; even less likely is that said immortal is dead set on destroying the world's greatest enemy, Verus Rex.
          
          So when myth becomes reality, and she finds herself face to face with the goddess Danya, Akira begins to feel something she had forgotten over the last fourteen years of war: hope.
          
          Unfortunately, Concordia is far from an easy opponent, and the country in the sky seemingly takes pride in destroying the world beneath them. Danya's defiant personality, coupled with her sporadic outbursts of anger, doesn't help either, and it's Akira's job to keep the temperamental goddess in line.
          
          But Akira refuses to let that stop her. For the sake of their future, and for those that no longer have one, Akira intends to do whatever it takes to end the war once and for all.

          ☆ DREAMSCAPE ☆ Dreamscape was named one of the short story winners for the Saint Vals Ambassador contest! This was the first prompt contest I've been recognized for, so I'm extra excited about this news! When I first saw the prompt, I was reminded of an old idea I had, but I wasn't sure what to do with it until now. Thank you so much to the ambassadors for their hard work organizing this contest, and thanks to everyone who has read Dreamscape so far!

          ☆ TURNING TIDES ☆ Thanks to everyone's amazing support, Turning Tides managed to reach 3k reads the other day! While it may not be a perfect story, it's great to see there are people who enjoy it as much as I do ❤️

Also, a huge shoutout to @ScienceFiction, @adventure, and @action for including UR in their featured stories lists, and I'm so honored to see UR alongside so many other wonderful stories.
          
          For those caught up with the latest chapters, we're in the middle of the final battle! This week, there will be some brand new content that wasn't included the first time, so I hope everyone enjoys it! For free readers, one of my FAVORITE plot twists is coming up this week in chapter 77, "Expect the Unexpected." There was some yelling in the comments the first time around lol
          
          To witness the chaotic heroics of Akira, Danya, and the rest of the Aegis Squad, here's the link!

            For published books, I'm a little behind on my list sadly... but there are a few I read in the past that I remember enjoying! "Don't Call Me Hero" by Eliza Lentzski and "Trigger" by Jessica Webb are a couple I managed to find in my reading history lol On my list to read, I have "Delilah Green Doesn't Care," "Cleat Cute," "This Is How You Lose the Time War," and "The Jasmine Throne."
            
            I have a few favorites on Wattpad, but hopefully you haven't read them already lol Here are a couple of them!

Happy Valentine's Day! Just in time for the holiday about love, I recently posted a short story that explores the power of memories, and how love transcends time and death. It's a bit different from my other works, but I hope you all still enjoy it! Thank you to everyone who has already checked it out. I was so surprised by the support this story received so quickly!! I may or may not have cried tears of joy lol
          
          Here are some comments that just about sum up the reaction so far:
          "This was so beautiful, peaceful, and emotional."
          "This is Neil Gaiman levels of clever."
          "IM GOING TO SMITE YOU LAUREN"

          ★ ULTIMA RATIO ★ New updates! For free readers, be sure to check out chapter 66, which should be unlocked today. Just in time too, because it's THE moment we've been waiting for, and perfect for this holiday, if you know what I mean... 
          
          For readers following along with the latest chapters, check out the rest of Danya's backstory in chapter 75 (one of my favorites!), and see chapter 76 for an amazing find!

BIG NEWS! Triple Point was one of the science fiction winners for the 2023 Amby Awards! I'm so thrilled that my first completed novel (which ended up being more like a trilogy lol) managed to accomplish such an amazing feat, something I never thought would be possible for one of my stories!
          
          It's been almost four years since I started writing it, and nearly three since I finished the first draft. I've made some amazing friends since I began posting to Wattpad in 2021, but I always thought big awards like the Ambys were out of my league. Even when I entered this year, I didn't think I had a chance. Thank you to @Aptionia and @AziaElga, along with so many other members of the @AstaniaCommunity, for being so supportive and helping me build my courage. A huge shout-out to the ambs behind @TheAmbys for reading and judging so many stories, including my own +300k story lol You all are amazing!
          
          Check out the others winners here, and see Triple Point in the link below it!
