Two Truths and The Antagonist were such wonderful, life-giving bright spots in the hardest year and I’m wondering if there might be any upcoming serial fiction on the horizon?

i’m so happy the stories were bright spots for you!!!! they felt that way for me too!!!! <3

writing update under the cut

okay the main thing i’ve been working on is a horror-adjacent story and i KNOW no one will want it but i had to write something totally out of my comfort zone to stretch some new genre muscles and just be totally garbage at it so i can eventually get better. i don’t know if it'll even be worth sharing anywhere but the characters have taken over my mind so!! fun!!! we love challenges!!!

with that said!!! i’m still always always always playing around in my happy place of sports romances!!! the way i typically work is that i have ten trillion WIPs and i just pick at all of them for months until one of them achieves critical mass and becomes The Story. none of them have done that yet so i have no timelines for you but atp i think the contenders are, in order from most to least goofy in tone and lowkey least to most likely to happen:

extremely bro friends with benefits-turned-colleagues (this one is a lot of fun but it may happen as a ‘two truths’ kind of thing where i write it as a pick-me-up next time something goes wrong in my life)

friendzoned husbands (i LOVE the protagonist but trying to make an established relationship sustain a romance novel would be writing on hard mode with very bad odds of success)

nicky (i hate sequels and nicky is way too close to adam to be a convenient spinoff character, this exists IN SPITE of me and solely because i love him and his future wife and their story)

disgraced villain and tragic beloved golden boy meet (again???) in the minors (i’ve known these characters and this story for YEARS, it’s a ‘when’ not an ‘if’ but last time i worked on it i had a thought that would change the entire thing so. still experimenting.)

reread two truths and antagonist back to back, and wow, what an emotional rollercoaster! I can only imagine what the experience of writing the stories so close in succession must have felt. it made me appreciate all the more how distinctive each of your characters and their relationship dynamics are. they're all so precious to me and I love them SO much, extra kudos to you for creating such real, lovable protagonists (even if they don't see themselves that way!)

i tried writing a fun thing one time and then the universe had to remind me that actually my purpose is to inflict hideous sadness on fictional guys

i think you guys have a magical ability to sense when i'm having an I'm Trash At Writing spell and send healing anons accordingly
