pbpb update!

WOW it’s been a hot minute. The last update was a year and a half ago?? ah, 2019. simpler times. hope everyone’s been staying safe and healthy.... SO. i’ll give anyone who’s still around the tl;dr: 1) with bright eyes and bright hopes, I hopped onto the querying train, and it was choo-choo full speed ahead. no bites. edited the manuscript again. got an agent offer. 2) i then proceeded to TURN THEM DOWN LOL (for various reasons) 3) for a long while was tossed by very dramatic waves of despair (did I make the wrong choice? have I thrown my life and work away? have i PEAKED?!). lots of tears were shed. dramatic weeping in the nights. 4) eventually came to the realization that I wanted this story published specifically thru traditional routes because of unhealthy and supervillain-esque reasons. so I’ve decided to turn from that dark path by posting the entirety of my story for free on wattpad LMAO 5) cue more tossing and turning so here we are! it occurs to me that i’ve bought into the worldview that if your work doesn’t generate income, then it has no worth. if you can’t make money off of it, it has no value. i think with this, im taking a sure but no less trepidatious step toward freeing myself from that belief. and also just, not turning into a sith. that’s kinda important too. Here’s the link. aspects of it are wildly different from how it was before (asian setting, female protag, star-omen-magic system), but i hope it brings you joy and enjoyment nonetheless. socially distanced kisses, grendel

I also read PBPB on AO3 while it was out and was sad and concerned when it suddenly vanished. I am *so* glad to see your updates. Your writing is beautiful and evocative and I only hoped that you’d taken it down because you wanted to publish it. That may not have been the original reason, but that’s where we are now and I am so so happy for you. Best of luck with this whole process, you magnificent soul. I look forward to reading your work in the future ❤️

Hi! First of all sorry for my English, second I just want to say that I read pbpb back when it was still on ao3 and I loved it so so much that I checked everyday if there was a new chapter. Your writing is extraordinary and seeing that you want to publish pbpb makes me so happy!! I hope that all goes well with the agent (for you because you deserve it and also for me because I'm dying to read it again!!!) Good luck!!!

no apologies needed for your english!! and thank you so, so much! ;;;;
