So, there’s good news and bad news....... and good news....

So I’ll start with some good news. Oril’s Lilypad is currently going through all the wonderful topic ideas you guys sent in! A list has been complied and I’m going to sit down and order them out, as well as re-tool the blog so it’s a bit more user friendly to find our episodes and see what topics have already been covered, in case you’re looking for something specific.

Now for the bad news. Due to insane amounts of anon hate, Kelsey aka LeviathansLoveDick  has deactivated. Guys, we’re a family. You don’t have to like or agree with other people’s to respect them. Not to mention, there’s Tumblr Savior and Xkit Blacklist if you don’t want to see something. Take a second to install one of those and live and let live. ‘Nuff said. Moving on.

Back to the good news! Kelsey will still be behind the scenes helping to produce content and graphics for us! However, we will not be streaming every week. In order to be able to provide you quality content, not burn out and run out of topics, and still have a life occasionally, we’ll be streaming every other week.  We may stay on Saturday nights after Full Disclosure, but we may change it to Friday nights. If you guys have a preference, I’d love to hear it!

Thanks for sticking with us and we’ll see you soon on the stream!!

Ori @oriona75

We're still around!!

Hey guys! Ori here!!! Just wanted to let you guys know that we got all of your suggestions and we're reviewing them for future content! With it being the end of the school year, we're still taking a hiatus to use this time to focus on family and to compile all these great ideas into future content. We'll be back soon!!! @oriona75

HELP THE LILYPAD!

Hey guys! @oriona75 and @leviathanslovedick here! We won’t be on again this week. We’re running out of topics, unfortunately. If you guys want to see us continue the show, send us in asks with questions or topic ideas. We don’t want to end the show, but without content there is no show. At this point, we’ve kind of exhausted our topic list, so we have to rely on you guys for content. We honestly can’t do this without you guys, so please help us out. Let us know what issues you have with any aspect of the writing process so we can try and help you out. We’re open to also revisiting former topics if there is a specific part you don’t understand. But we can’t do that if we don’t know you need it. We do this for you guys and need your help to keep it going.

Thanks! Ori and Kelsey

Lilypad Hiatus

Hey everyone!!! @oriona75 here. Had a little chat with my girl @leviathanslovedick and we’re both burnt out. Just got a few too many irons in the fire, so to speak. SO, this week, we’re gonna take a break and recharge, spend some time with the fams, maybe work on a few WIPs we’ve been neglecting, whatnot. 

I promise we’ll be back next week rested and recharged and ready to play!!

But don’t forget to catch @spnashley on @fulldisclosureash tonight at 6 Est/ 5 Cst!!! Her awesome guests tonight are @ruby-loves-supernatural and @unadulteratedstorycollector!!! Go show them some love you guys and we may even pop up in chat!!

No Lilypad tonight......

@oriona75 here guys. Bad news kids. Due to illness and RL issues, there will NOT be a Lilypad tonight. I’m coughing so hard, I’m waiting to see blood like President Snow in The Hunger Games. @leviathanslovedick is taking a leave of absence from the show for a while to deal with some RL issues. I had planned to still do the show with @mrswhozeewhatsis but my voice just isn’t gonna make it.

Michelle and I are willing to do the show tomorrow (if I can speak), but we’d like to ask you guys what time would be better?? 8pm EST / 7pm CST OR 7pm EST / 6pm CST.

In the meantime, make sure you catch up on @fulldisclosureash! @spnashley featured one of our own Big Fish from @spnfanficpond, @deansdirtylittlesecretsblog!!! As well as @bkwrm523!!! Go check those guys out and show them some love!!!!
