Chapter 6 is up!! I’m aiming to have this wrapped up by Chapter 10, your girl is tired and unmotivated but we must persist. No idea what’s next after this story, but I do want to also finish up my Wolfstar story One Night Stand You. After that it will either be going through my notes to find an idea or turning one of my Drarry Drabbles into its own short story. 
          	
          	I feel like at this point in time though I’m just best suited for one shots. It’s so hard to re-craft a full universe and I really enjoy being able to sit down and write 2-20k words and close the document. 
          	
          	We shall see. Sometimes I just HAVE to write an idea down so here’s hoping something jumps out at me in the next couple of weeks.

Chapter 5 of the Drarry story is up!! I’m so sorry it took 5 months for an update. I don’t ~quite~ know where this one is going, I have a super vague idea. I can’t even give a remaining chapter estimate, not that I’m good at those anyway, if you know you know haha. 
          
          I hope you’re all enjoying the end of the summer!! My best wishes to you all.

@Pearlshipper12345 it’s just frustrating because I genuinely love to write and I feel so stuck most days. I just have to carry on

@SettleDown1D yeah it’s not great. Ive been on and off Wattpad for 9 years tbh since I only find decent stores every other 9 months if I look deep enough. I only come on here now for your stories and one other author I really like. I was literally gonna delete Wattpad until I found you with POYH and that other story from that other author. I found those stories around the same time as each other and you guys are my only hope for this app tbh

Happy almost August. I hope you’re getting ready for the salt air and rust on your doors. We are not so back but we’re kind of back? I have been grasping at straws trying to find some form of motivation to write. This was supposed to be a quick little one shot about Remus storming into a hair salon and meeting Sirius and it grew to over 5k words. 
          
          My goal was to post this on my birthday, but it didn’t feel complete last week so I sat on it and added another 2K words. Another trip around the sun for me, so here’s my birthday gift to all of you. 
          
          I’m still figuring things out so I unfortunately do not have a set update schedule for anything at all. This idea was about a year or so old and finally went up as I was reading through my 200+ notes of story ideas. 
          
          Do you all have a preference for an update? Let me know if you want One Night Stand You or Where Do We Go When We Go updated next and I’ll see what I can do. 
          
          Best,

Happy late birthday!! You’re amazing tbh, I haven’t had much time to read but I have been missing you <3 no preference since either one will be good to receive which ever one comes to you first honestly and whichever feels right to continue first. Hope things go good for you love<33

petrasallow

heyyy!! I’m just here to say I love your writing, you’re really talented. THE SLOW BURN IS KILLING ME THO

SettleDown1D

@petrasallow I honestly prefer writing the pre-relationship portion of my fics as opposed to when they get together. Once they’re finally together I tend to get more writer’s block haha. 
            
            Thank you for the kind comment! I’m all for constructive criticism but unfortunately that’s not what the comments have been. I just delete them now and move on my way, but I wanted to leave a gentle reminder that I am in fact a person lol. 
            
            Ghosts has a fully completed sequel!! I had so much fun with the world building I continued their adventure into their eighth year of Hogwarts. 
            
            I hope you enjoy my other works just as much <3 one of my personal favorites that I’ve written is Late Night Talking. On AO3 the crowd favorite is Qudditch Qualms, everyone loves Scorpius and he was a delight to write!

@SettleDown1D lmao yes, I’m reading ghost (insert sobs) even though the slow burn is SLOW burning, I kind of love it. A lot of drarry fanfics tend to rush into everything and it just seems unrealistic.  Like, wdym Harry jumped on Draco and they kissed in the first chapter.  
            I saw that you’ve been getting some mean comments, so I want to reassure you even more, you’re SO talented. I’m genuinely sad to say goodbye to ghost but can’t wait to read your other works!<3
            This is probably one of my favorite drarry fanfics of all time lol.

SettleDown1D

Thank you so much!! I have a feeling you’re reading Ghosts haha. I really wanted to focus on the relationship building in that story before they actually got together. Not all of my stories burn that slowly though! If you like quick get togethers I have a book of drabbles/one shots. Thank you for reading

Some of you really need to remember that there is a person behind your comments. I’m so tired. Fanfic writers literally provide free entertainment get off your pedestals and write yourself if you don’t like something

@SettleDown1D ohhh no rush no rush I was just asking ;)

SettleDown1D

@ABEL_BENNY_7 yes I’m still working on it! I really love the plot of that one, it just gets tiresome trying to come up with new and exciting mission ideas. I don’t want to just keep referencing that things happened, I’d love to show them in real time, and that takes a lot I time and energy that I haven’t had lately. I’ll have to do a reread to refresh my mind on the plot so I can start the next chapter!

Hi, I'm glad you're finding time to get back to writing. I apologize if the way I ask this sounds... insensitive, I'm not at all meaning for it to be. I have an idea for my own story, and I wanted to ask you your opinion on it. I absolutely love your writing and you're one of if not my absolute favorite author, so I wanted to pick your brain. Could I share my idea with you and get your opinion? If not that's perfectly okay. Again, I'm sorry if I sound insensitive, I'm really not trying to be.

SettleDown1D

And if I finally finish my rewrite of POYH that I started summer of 2023… 
          
          My brain is bouncing between ideas right now and I feel as if it’s time I rework Piece of Your Heart. This is one of my only works I have never done a re-read of. I know this is how some of you found me so I will treat the story very delicately and leave the old version up, as requested in years past. 
          
          For now, the new version will be published on my AO3, UnlostDrarry. I highly recommend checking my account out if you haven’t already. There’s one or two stories up on there that haven’t made their way to wattpad, and AO3 always gets my most polished versions. 
          
          With that being said, I’m still working on the next chapter of One Night Stand You! I’ve hit a bit of a road block in terms of writing after getting 3k words in so bear with me. 
          
          Happy pride month everyone!! I know the world is in a delicate state right now and there is so much going on, but I truly wish you all the best. You’re all valid despite what the uneducated may try to make you feel <3
          
          All of my love as always, 
          J <3

@SettleDown1D you welcome!!<3 my first story from you was Ghost! And I’ve been meaning to read that one after since I love long stories! I can’t wait to read it fully for your new edited one !<3

SettleDown1D

@Bookwormer_foreverr thank you!! <3 I’m hoping to fall in love with the story all over again after editing and rewriting it. It was my first ever completed fic, so I think it’s time it gets its due diligence

@gloomybunii it’s honestly so surreal seeing where I started back in 2020 with Drarry and comparing it where I am now with my writing. I’m trying not to change the story plot too much, but there are definitely some parts of it that I cringe at so that is being fixed. I’m going to be honest, other than when people comment on specific lines I have never done a reread of the fic. It’s my only story that I haven’t re-read. Ghosts, ISTTIMI, and Therapy I reread to edit when they were put on AO3. Late Night Talking and Quidditch Qualms I reread every few months when I need inspiration to write. Those two are definitely up there in terms of favorites

Hi everyone, here’s your quarterly “the author is still alive” post. Thank you to everyone who’s left me kind comments/messages, I’ve truly appreciated it. There’s still lots going on in my personal life that I’m working through, but things should be a little bit brighter and a little bit easier next week. 
          
          I’ve written a little bit of the next chapter of One Night Stand You, my latest Wolfstar story. For the first time in months, I’ve finally written a brand new Drarry idea down! Inspiration has been severely lacking lately due to current circumstances, so it was so nice to be able to finally catch a glimpse of that old spark. 
          
          Wishing you all the best, and I’m hoping to return sooner rather than later. 
          
          J <3

@gloomybunii smooth seas don’t make good sailors or whatever Neck Deep said. I actually hit a nice little patch tonight and the next Wolfstar chapter now has over 2500 words written for it. I miss writing so much so being able to write again today really helped. I’m going to write again until I fall asleep
