Just one chapter tonight, but what a chapter it was! My PC, Gemelle, knows about supernaturals now … and she may have been just the tiniest bit shyly flirtatious with Asher.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels like this, haha.
And yes, yes, yes!! She has done a brilliant job so far, it makes me even more happy that she stumbled across my story.
I hope it was a fun and action-packed chapter for you to read, and thanks once again for the error spotting. Whilst writing chapter 10 over the past few months, I’ve managed to go back and make some edits of my own so hopefully a few more errors will be cleared up for the next big update.
Ahh, you must let me know what you (and Gemelle) thought about A’s reaction to the flirtation.

I’m actually surprised he knew she was flirting! All she did was ask if he was okay. I’m surprised he saw it as anything more than a gesture of kindness. In my mind, Gemelle wasn’t entirely conscious she was flirting with him, and she thinks he’s an asshole - but she saw that moment of concern in his eyes earlier.
Last chapter. Gemelle just danced … with Blaze.
Last chapter for now! I’m writing the last third on chapter 10 as we speak. I hope chapter 9 was enjoyable…
…Especially this scene. The other ros didn’t get this, I thought it would fit B’s route best.
I don’t know how many times I can say thank you for reading the story, and for you great observation skills. So, thank you! Any writer or author would be lucky to have you as an editor.

where is my post?
Update. — 27th June 2023
Happy Pride Month 
to those who have been celebrating. Much love to you all.
It’s been a while since a progress update which isn’t great from me. My thoughts are that I’ll post these at least once a month so readers are always kept in the loop as I feel like I’ve kept you all in the dark recently about what’s been going on. Anywhoo…
Firstly, I finished my undergraduate degree! My results that came out confirmed that I’ll be graduating. I’m graduating with a 1st which is the highest degree classification that can be awarded in the UK — so, this writer is kinda smart and will be throwing a grad cap in the air — so that’s kind of a huge personal accomplishment!
But more importantly, in interactive fiction terms anyway, I finished chapter 10! It’s done. She’s a chunky chapter that’s full of loads of… stuff and drama! There’s so much going on in the chapter: angst, comfort, a new character, found family — so you’re in for a ride, to say the least.
I made a few changes too. The reader can choose/input their own pronouns, your mc can choose whether or not they wear glasses, there are new graphics for those that play with a black background (shown below!), alongside some editorial stuff — new choices etc. It has now been sent off to beta readers.
Soo, as an overview: in eight months I wrote a 10k word dissertation, bagged a degree, got accepted to do a master’s degree, and finished writing a 73k word chapter. So, whilst I hate that this update has been a long time coming, a lot of academic stuff happened in my life which made a lot of things hectic.
I really appreciate you being patient with me. I know it’s not easy or fun waiting for wip updates, but there is a Golden one on the horizon and I hope it will be worth the wait.

HUGE congratulations on the first and the Master’s acceptance, that’s incredible! And the writing is incredible too! I hope you get the chance to chill out and celebrate a bit

Thank you so much for all your support!
And I’m hoping that chapter 10 is a great update to read when it’s out soon! Fingers crossed for that.
I definitely have to plan in some rest days now! It’s always nice to have a bit of self-care.

Congratulations x 4 (i think?)

I’m joining all the congratulators! (Wait, is that a word? 
)
Yes, stuff and drama, my favourite things in the world! I can’t wait to read it. 
Mila’s dissertation: “I’m so big, I have 10k words!”
The 73k chapter 10: “Pfft, amateur.”
Seriously though, it’s impressive, good job, Mila!

Thank you all so much!
I regularly debate which was easier to write… I’m leaning towards Golden’s 10th chapter though, haha.
