oops 🙊

...so what if a yeeted the first chapter of a fic onto ao3? knowing full well that i have no clue if/when i'll finish it. but it just keeps languishing on my laptop while i pick away at it here and there.

are we team wait until its finished/mostly finished? or team yeet like there's no tomorrow?

seeking input and/or encouragement for my impulses ☺️

Wait and Hope

Finally read Wait and Hope by @mightbewriting and OMG, my whole world has just exploded. This was my first Dramione fanfic and I'm just over the moon at how much tension, yearning, and romance there was. Reading the book coupled with your Spotify playlist was such a beautiful, intense experience.

It inspired me to draw Draco and Hermione. I wanted to capture all the angst and sadness.

becoming an adult is essentially having all your friends in different cities and permanently missing someone

[mightbewriting]

hello my hellsite friends. if you follow me on instagram, you've already seen this, but. my first book for the adult market is on the way to you, fall 2026. the past two months have been unreal.

i can't wait to introduce you to my wounded and furious author, Parker, and my cool and scathing critic, Selina.

oh, how they loathe each other. real, actual enemies. we're going to have a good time.

some of the editors i spoke to about this book said things along the lines of -- "they hated each other so much in the beginning, i had no idea how you were going to turn things around." which is, of course, the fun of it. >:D

i'll have more regular updates on instagram -- i can't wait for y'all to read this. i think anybody who had a good time with my fanfic will really vibe with this one too.

Sooooo did hermione ever regain her memories??? In wait and hope? I know it doesn’t/shouldn’t matter but I want that for her, for them.

Your guess is a good as mine! Who’s to say, really? Not me! I know nothing!

[mightbewriting]

I've just finished reading The World of Wait and Hope and it was just fantastic! I loved how you explored everyone's stories throughout and especially your use of spacetime and black holes in Beginning and End

Thank you so much! I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed it, especially the timey wimey bits lol. Those have been a bit hit and miss, but I’m glad they worked for you!! Thanks so much for reading!

come home to my heart: 3 weeks to go!

hello friends! i failed to do a march update, so here we are in april, exactly three weeks before Come Home to My Heart releases. i can't believe it. but i come bearing updates!

the updates in question:

Signed copies! You can preorder a signed CHTMH hardback through my local indie, Volumes Books, at this link. Make sure to add what you want for personalization (if anything) in the notes section at checkout!!

I know this is pretty late for a signed preorder link to come up. So, if you already preordered the book elsewhere and want a signed bookplate to stick into the front of your copy, just send me an email at rileyredgate[at]gmail[dot]com with your full mailing address, and I'll mail you a bookplate :)

Event!! The CHTMH launch will be in Chicago at Volumes on Thursday, May 8th, at 6:30 PM. You can reserve a free ticket (or a ticket + book for $20) through Eventbrite, here.

preorders, non-signed, are otherwise available through:

bookshop.org

your local indie

barnes & noble

books-a-million

amazon

if you know Come Home is not your kind of book, but would like to help it find its audience, the following things would mean the world:

reblogging this post!

requesting that your library carry it (if you have the Libby app, you can do this in 30 seconds by searching for the book, tapping ‘Deep Search,’ and then hitting 'Notify Me’)

telling any librarians, booksellers, or teachers you know about it

mentioning the book on social media–Reddit, TikTok, Instagram, anything

mentioning the book to other readers, especially young readers

gifting the book to somebody you think might like it

part of the royalties from the book will be donated to the following amazing LGBTQ+ and housing-focused organizations: 

Covenant House

The Relatives

North Star

The Harriet Hancock Center

The Night Ministry

hugs, RR

what doesn't kill you makes you weird with intimacy

Had a dream last night that i was a knight and this bigger scarier knight had me on the ground and right before he swung his sword at my neck he said smth like "i mourn the loss of life for the tree who will become your coffin" which shouldnt have turned me on like it did but alas

[mightbewriting]

Come back, I have to tell you the plot of a fic I’ll never write and get you excited about it so we can all be disappointed with me later
