Alana come backkkkkkk!!!!!!

How do you guys like the new banner? It’s finally official! 

I've been doing fairly well with publishing and reading lately, but I have to prepare for the move tomorrow, so I won't be as active as I get settled at Disney. The Okami awards should start posting shout-outs and results fairly soon, and I am excited to get back to reading. See you guys soon!

Thank you guys for applying to the Okami awards! We are officially closed for judging! We launched about a week ago and the fact that we were able to find participants this quickly is simply amazing. Results will take at least 3 weeks to be processed, so ganbate everyone!

Hollywood has been chaotic. I didn't fall in love with it when I first got here, but it's slowly growing on me and now I can't imagine my life not moving there. So, officially, I will be moving back to Hollywood when I graduate from college. But, there are at least 2 years between now and then. I leave California in a couple of weeks, which is sad, but I truly enjoyed my time here and will never forget it. Focusing so much on my offline life has resulted in radio silence here, but I have some good news. Expect some *very* regular updates starting next month. If you're one of my Discord buddies, you know why. More on that later!

I love your ideas of your stories. I can't wait to start reading them. Keep writing, I love to see more. 

As you guys can see, I finally got started on The Gemini rewrite! Basically, the rewrite changes the “villain” of the book, since I was misleading with the villain in the first draft and with so many things going on I just felt like it wasn’t worth it. This version is more straight forward but there’s still going to be a lot of chaos and mystery, I promise (maybe more chaos though). I completely rewrote chapter 9, so I would recommend going through that again. Everything else is pretty normal. I will let you know when I’m back up to 17 (where I was before the rewrite) and in the meantime there are going to be weekly updates of Blackout. Okay, time to hike up to the Hollywood sign i guess. 

Okay, I move to Hollywood tomorrow so I'm just gonna rapid-fire go over some things. 
          1. Happy pride! No matter where you are in your journey, you deserve to be proud of who you are. Wishing everyone in the LGBT+ community the best month <3
          2. The Gemini is being rewritten, I'm taking it on as my summer project.
          3. In exchange for The Gemini, I'm periodically publishing a revamped edition of Blackout, my first ever book. 
          4. BORDERVERSE SEASON 3 JUDGES: I'm done with the reads! I have loved sampling your work and writing some kooky comments. If you didn't redeem your judging prizes, they do not have an expiration date. Reach out to me with your book and we can chat. 
          5. Since I'm a free reader once more, I'm turning my eyes to some of my friends' works, and can't wait to read. That's right, looking at you @AziaElga . If you're in the Ayultri reading list, expect me soon lol. 
          6. Follow @KirukkanGuild , you might have an award to look forward to in the future. 
          
          That's all! I have to get back to packing and freaking out. I'll see you in California!
