Hello!! So, sorry my tumblr is garbage and rarely tells me when people message or inbox me so I apologize if this has been sitting here for a long time. 

Thank you so much for reading the series and enjoying it so much! I truly appreciate all the support.

My personal life has kinda imploded over the last couple of months but I am finally getting it back on track. As we speak I legit have chapter 4 of 12.16 to Infinity open and being worked on. I’m not sure when it will be up but yes I am actively working on it and honestly it’s my goal to have it up this week. Crossing my fingers that will actually happen lol 

Sorry for the long wait but thank you so much for your patience. I love all of my readers so much. You guys are legit the best and keep me motivated. <3

Have a bonus throwback magazine cover I made for the original 12.16.1991 that Howard came across in his Google deep dive into Tony’s life. <3

A continuation of the previous snippet of the future 12.16 verse :D

“Why don’t we all go out and get some air? Maybe go play down by the lake or take Gerald for a stroll?” Howard finally suggested, feeling like he might actually hyperventilate if he didn’t get out of the house and distract himself now.

“Can we swim?” Morgan asked hopefully, even though it was nearing the end of fall and the water was getting too cold to swim in.

“Maybe not swim, but we can sit on the dock and stick our feet in the water,” Maria conceded, ever the compromiser.

“Maybe you’ll even catch a fish with your big toe,” Howard teased and tickled the little girl's side, delighting in her playful laughter.

1. If you’re an author, how many WIPs do you currently have? (Be honest!)

Oh boy. Ummmmm. Let me check my docs...22. :D That’s actually a lot less than I thought.

18. Do you have a fic reading/writing routine?

When  I was posting 12.16.1991 I did. Friday nights I would plot the chapter with all of the big events I needed to happen i.e. “Tony talks to Maria”, “Ross shows up”, “Howard asks about Obadiah.” Then on Sat-Mon I write though to be honest the bulk of the work was always done on Mondays because that was my day off of work. Then edit and post on Monday night/Tues morning.

Reading not so much of a routine but I read constantly to try and keep up with the trends and see what has been doe or not and what seems to work and what doesn’t.

19. What’s your favorite character headcanon? 

I don’t have a particular one that I can think of. lol I’m terrible at these. 

I guess one is that Tony had pretty much been in love with Pepper since they first met because she was the only one that didn’t take any of his bullshit. He had the ring picked out for her BEFORE Afghanistan but he could never work out the right way to ask her out and have her understand how serious he was for a date, let alone propose marriage even though he’d always known that she was it for him. When he came back he tried to tell her on the rooftop but he was still struggling too much with becoming a better person and didn’t think it was fair to drag her into his bullshit when he was still figuring it all out. 

Thank you!!! Happy New Year to you in France! Hope 2021 is looking good. <3

5. Which WIP is first on your list to complete this year? Will you post a snippet?

I answered this on my main page too so I am copying it here. :D

The 12.16 series is always going to be on my list to add and post more on. However, the ABSOLUTE number 1 story that I want to finish is “No Expectations” AKA the Meet the Parents fic. I started writing it in 2019 and then 12.16 took over. lol So, without a doubt I want to get that one done ASAP.

Snippet: “No Expectations”

“Now are you nervous?” she grinned.

He seemed a little pale in the afternoon light and if he were feeling anything like she was then butterflies were filling his stomach. Of course he would never let her know that though.

“Nope, I’m great. How do I look?” he asked, running a hand through his newly shortened hair.

“Like you’re contemplating running away,” she joked purposefully ignoring his features.

“And you were worried about MY behavior on this trip. You are positively hateful today, Pep.”

She said nothing but brought her hands up to rest on either side of his cheeks. Tony leaned into the touch and nuzzled her palms gently. “Hey. Stop worrying. Everything is going to be fine.”

He sighed gently and closed his eyes beneath her touch. “Worried? Who’s worried?”

“Relax,” she whispered to him again and pulled his lips to meet hers in a kiss, soft and warm. He could feel some of the anxiousness began to ebb and he swore that Pepper’s kisses were literally magic. They almost always had the ability to make him forget everything going on around them. He deepened the kiss in response, arms snaking their way around her waist to pull her closer to him.

“Ahem…” a voice cleared loudly from somewhere off to the side and Tony’s eyes shot open, shocked at just how quickly he could forget his surroundings as his body jumped back from Pepper’s as if he had just been burned.

Standing in the now open doorway were Pepper’s parents.

A nervous laugh escaped Tony's lips as his mind went blank and his words faltered in his throat. Of all the ways that this first meeting had played out in his mind he never anticipated screwing up out of the gate this bad. Out of ideas, Tony did what he always did in times of crisis. He smiled and looked to Pepper to save him.

15. Do you foresee any personal or professional obstacles this year, that would keep you from creating fanworks?

Well, I just quit my job. lmao That was a pretty big obstacle cause that place was so awful and toxic so I’m glad to be rid of it. lol Um aside from that, just whatever normal factors. I have 3 kids that are 8,7, and 2 so they are all tiny terrors that can interfere. lol But other than that, I am taking this time off of work specifically to work on writing as well. SO! That is the plan! I hope to make so much content for ya’ll!
