Thank you all for following along on this multi-year journey to completion of Wednesday's senior year. I appreciate the patience of my readers for enduring multiple hiatuses during the writing of the Chaos for the Fly sequel - but alas, the official two-part series is complete!

The next continuation in the series will be the College Years Collection. This will be different in format / possibly mixed-POV. There is not enough story left for this to be an official 'trilogy' though I'm sure you can expect me to get carried away with it lmfao. I will be taking a break from the Chaos Universe for the summer and anticipate the third installment will start in September.

A graduate school AU featuring Wednesday x Enid will be up within the next week or two as my Wednesday summer project. Lovely Thorns (and Singing Vultures) will continue to have one-shots featuring OCs from the universe as well.

This probably isn't going to help endear season three to you any.

At least it doesn't seem to have been severe and she is recovering.

😩

Mostly I just can't believe they're still filming. I yearn for the days of a twenty-two episode season that came out every year, shot at a friggin' studio in LA from August - March. Yearn. I just looked and they're predicting it will be at least another year or more before it's out? That's insanity.

The more I think about it, the more flustered I get that this goofy girl will not be Emi. 💔

They don't deserve her.

I'm glad she's okay, but hope she doesn't have long-term damage from this show.

I can't trust any Netflix to utilize a proper wig in the first place, but so help me if they have a fuckass closed front blonde wig on her or anything like Tim Burton allowed hair/makeup to use on her as Angelique in Dark Shadows, I am going to turn it off lol.

Thank you for spending your time reading my works. I’m glad they are loved enough to be worth the reread! 🙏🏼

I am a 90s kid who is in her mid-thirties and old writing habits just don’t die, so I always start on paper. Between Chaos and Karma, I filled a 200 page notebook for the Chaos universe outlines / pre-writes / brain dumps / maps / course schedules / OC biographies / organization hierarchies, etc. Why is this important? Consistency. I like knowing where Wednesday is (supposed lol) to be on a Tuesday afternoon at three PM to keep it consistent, so yes - I make her and Enid a course schedule for myself. I’m actually flustered that to start The College Years, I’ll have to do so in a separate notebook and it doesn’t feel right. 😭

First of all this is very funny to me, and second of all, I haven't used a desk in like...thirteen years - I don't even have a teacher desk in my classroom! And I like to write horizontally lol.

No beach this time! Every few years you and your honey need to visit the holy land where your prophet was born.

(prophet above - we 🫶🏼 attractions in TN, the smoky mtns, caves, all the touristy things in Sevier County, black bears, lazy rivers, and Zaxby's)

I'll always take a prompt if my ask is open, though there is literally no guarantee that i'll happen, lol. I'd say my creativity per Wednesday, even my own Chaos-verse is pretty stunted at the moment, but who knows - maybe the right prompt would get it going. As for what I like in a prompt...In particular, writing about my Chaos OCs is always exciting just because I like thinking about them from other people's POVs. If it makes sense, I know what I already know about them, but when readers send promps with specific questions about my OCs really makes me think about them in different ways, and that's fun to do.

If there is a specific scene that happened "off screen" or to characters other than Wednesday in the Chaos-verse, it's always fun to write other POVs from a certain event we didn't see or through someone else's eyes...

I message today because I remembered about Cabbage Patch Kids and had to ask if there had been consideration of having Holly have those from childhood instead of Care Bears.

But I feel as though with how analytical and sciencey her brain is with plants even as (or maybe especially as) a child she wouldn't have enjoyed them because, "what do you mean these babies came from cabbages? How is that suppose to work?" (Insert a childs dissertation on everything wrong with that.)

I don't know where I was going with this beyond I hope it amused you some.

I did look up what they look like becauae it has been a while since I had seen one and I think there is very little chance Chaosverse Wednesday would have taken one to cuddle.

I hope you have a good time finishing up your Abbott Elementary fic and the fans of it enjoy it.

Thank you for the well wishes! It was great! Though it is VERY IRONIC that you bring up Cabbage Patch Kids because I literally checked off a bucket list item of visiting Babyland General Hospital and witnessing the miracle of Mother Tree giving birth in the very real Cabbage Patch in Georgia on my trip lol. (It was honestly kind of mediocre and I have thoughts and feelings on making this a better attraction. They’ve just got to call me up and I’ll be back to make improvements lol.)

ANYWAY - if you weren’t a babydoll kid, you might not know - but CPK in particular make for terrible cuddle toys. Their bulky, hard heads make it a challenge to properly snuggle in with at night. Now did I tuck my Lullaby Cabbage Patch doll in beside me every night in bed? Yes, but I was curling up with my bear and blankie each night for proper rest.
