This chart shows (as best I could manage with the information I had) the connections in the LIWEU (literary-inspired webseries extended universe). 

A guide to the lines: Shows connected with solid lines mention each other as real people in video canon. Shows connected with dotted lines have characters who interact through transmedia, including video descriptions. Dashed line connections are for Inseparables in All For One, since those are really their own category. And the tiniest dotted lines are for shows that are fictional in each other’s universes. There are a lot more of those, but if I added all of them, this chart would cease to make any sort of sense.

I only used arrows when the shows are clearly in a weird situation with each other (mutually fictional or just super not on the same page).

We're incredibly honoured to have won three categories in this year's Literary Inspired Webseries Awards!

Best Actor - Steven Christie (George Bates)Best Actress - Chelsea Taylor (Bianca Minola)Best Screen Chemistry - Steven Christie and Adam Bowes (George Squared)

Congratulations to Steven, Chelsea, and Adam for their dedication and hard work, and to the many other members of our cast who were nominated. We are beyond proud!

This goes out to every single fan of Call Me Katie and Nothing Like the Sun who, over the past two years, have made my life an incredibly changed experience.  I’ve read Adam, Myra (@glittergremlins), and Discordia’s goodbye posts and I realised it’s time to stop putting it off and write my own!

By the time of writing, Nothing Like the Sun aired its final episode over two months ago, and I hadn’t been on tumblr to talk about it since the new year! So here it goes, time to say an overdue goodbye to a series, a crew, a cast, and a fandom that has helped shape the person I’ve become in the last two years. 

It's sad to say goodbye to not only this webseries but an experience that has amounted to two years of amazing work from everyone involved. I can never ever speak too highly of the amazing work of @discordiaproductions​. From the beautiful writing, to the careful directing, and stunning camera work, Erin (@girloutofuniform​) Bokkie (@platoniccompliments​) and Carla made me proud to be part of their art. 

And of course if goes without saying that I am indebted to the incredible performances from the cast, both from the first series and the newcomers, you all made me so humbled to be able to act beside you. I could write forever about every single cast member (it’s taking a lot of self control not too) but I would be amiss if I didn’t mention how incredible it was to act beside Adam (@bowesy123​) for two years of my life. Adam and I always seemed to work as a single unit on set when we were together, and those were some of my most favourite moments. I truly could go on and on for days, but for now I want to say how privileged I am to not only call him a fellow castmate, but a friend for life. My biggest takeaway from this series is truly the friendships I have forged with the people who shared this amazing experience!

So I’ll bring this ramble to an end... 

I’m forever thankful for every single person who put this work of art together, and to those of you in the fandom that create incredible art, edits, fiction, and discussions that warmed my heart. I hope it never ends. 

These last two years have been an experience like nothing else, and I'm so proud to have been able to be your Bates. Thank you, all of you!
