Okay, I have an update. Due to the same personal circumstances that kept me from uploading the Epilogue of "An Herb's Guide to Drowning" until Tuesday, I think it's going to be most viable for me to upload all of my @team-chaotix-week prompts today. After that, I *might* be able to log onto here and ao3 for a little bit on Saturday. Beyond that date, though, I have no idea when I'll be able to update my fics or my blog.  Don't worry; none of my accounts are going to become entirely inactive. I've just got a *ton* of personal stuff going on at the moment, something that I can't really explain in detail here. I just wanted to let you all know, because I probably won't be responding to any comments you send me for a little bit.  In the meantime, here's my completed prompts for Team Chaotix Week 2026! Chapter One ("Steakout") is linked above; feel free to read the rest at your leisure. I'll still be working on all my other WIPs in the background, even if I won't be able to upload them for a bit. Again, I apologize for being so cryptic with my reasoning, but I can assure you that I'm alright. I hope you enjoy what I've cooked up here, though, and I can't wait to see you all when I return!  

With Platonic <3,

Without further ado, here’s Maria’s design for Studio Gemini!! I *finally* have a few days to work and post in peace, so the story/art will be steadily truckin’ along for a little bit. Chapter Five is still in the works, but I’ll be sure to let you guys know when I’ve made substantial progress. B)

Thank you all so much again!! I hope you enjoy; feedback is always welcome and appreciated. With Platonic <3,

With Platonic <3,

First on the agenda is Team Chaotix Week 2026! I've been blessed with a pretty decent gap in my schedule, which has given me just enough time to work on those prompts. The week will take place from May 1st through May 7th, and I've gotten four of the seven prompts done so far!

After that is Ballads of Asphodel! This one might take a bit longer; I need to world-build some more before I give you guys any final product.

After that is Studio Gemini! This will probably be the last time that I upload two alternating-POV chapters on the same day- at least, the last time for a long while. After Chapter Six, I plan for the two idiots to be together for a bit...hehe. He. B)

Thanks again for bearing with me, everyone!! And to everyone that's stuck with me for this long...thank you. So, SO very much. Whether or not you enjoyed An Herb's Guide to Drowning throughout all this chaos- 'cause goodness knows, it's not my best work- the fact that you've cared enough to read my works is enough for me.

You guys deserve all the kudos.

With Platonic <3,

...They...they formatted. ...
