I almost thought I would sit out ONC this year, as no prompts spoke to me when the list first dropped. But... somehow, an idea--filled with orcs, tea, and revolution--started brewing and it turned into this:

          ONC 2025, here we go! I'm looking forward to sharing this story with you all and to reading all your amazing and inventive stories as well.

It's becoming a tradition at this point, so of course, I wrote a Halloween chapter for SLB this year as well! Tune in to see what Robin and Tyler and their kids (yes, kids, because this bonus chapter is set 10 years after the events of SLB) dressed up as for the occasion!

After a long break (longer than I had intended), Bitter Treats is back again! And I'm committed to finally finishing this story in the coming months!
          
          In this new chapter, Robin and Tyler go to the beach and an important word for the relationship is spoken for the first time. Then, there is bubbles. So many bubbles.

My entry for the Shortys is up! Just in the nick of time! 
          
          It's a story based around Swedish Midsummer, with some elements of magical realism, written in a bit of an experimental format (very short chapters that each represent a different flower). In a way, it's a companion story to First Frost, which represented Swedish winter (there is no character or lore overlap though, just the same vibes).
          
          If this sounds appealing to you, please give it a read! (it's quite short, coming in at around 2.8k in total)

If you ever wished you could listen to Sweet Little Birds instead of reading it, now is your chance as text-to-speech was just added to all chapters in the story. So take the opportunity to delve into the adventures of Robin and Tyler through this new feature!
          
          Note that I don't have any control over which stories of mine this feature is added or when, nor do I know why this specific story got the feature at this point. But I'm happy it happened as it makes it possible for readers of different abilities and in different situations to partake in the story.

"Where is Araminta Green ?" Is an interesting tale and you tell it very well.The same is true for all your stories.

OMG! "Sweet Little Birds" hit 100k reads today! I'm not one to celebrate often (as my anxiousness about seeming braggy or delusional gets in the way) but I'm going to allow myself to rejoice about this one because I truly never thought a story of mine would hit this milestone. Thank you to everyone who has checked out this story and contributed to making this happen! I appreciate every read, vote, and comment <3
          
          And I am still planning to write that sequel eventually... I just have too many projects ongoing or planned. First on my agenda is finishing Bitter Treats though!

I apologize if anyone has been spammed with updates for "Where is Araminta Green?" tonight. I just finished a revision of the whole story for the Wattys which is the cause for this sudden influx of chapters! (I had to unpublish the old chapters to replace with revised versions + add two new chapters)
          
          The story is mainly the same, so if anyone was mid-reading I think you're safe to continue, but there are two additional chapters added (chapter 6, which is a previous chapter that I split in two after adding a new scene to the sequence, and chapter 13, which is a reframed version of a pivotal scene). Some chapters have also changed names since the previous names in many cases felt hurried and uninspired.
          
          Here is the new version of the story if anyone wants to check it out!

I'm seeing many new users follow me and/or add Sweet Little Birds to their reading lists, which is of course awesome and I welcome you all! I can't help but wonder though how readers are finding my story (especially since it's not ranking well and is not featured) so if you're someone who recently started to follow me (and doesn't know me from a book club or other author community), how did you find your way here? It would be great to have that insight because, without it, any influx of readers is just a storm in a water glass that can't be replicated.

Hey i saw you were judging somewhere and you write too, may i ask you if you'd be glad to join a community where there are awards for stories, graphics, bios, etc, shops for them and all where writers, reviewers, judges, etc, all work together?
