Hi! I absolutely love the Perfectly Normal series, and I wanted to reach out and ask if you have any updates on your progress for the next installment? It's one of my go-to series to reread, and I'm just dying to know what happens next. Obviously, there's no rush. I'll wait for the rest of my life for the next installment; this series is so good. Regardless, I hope you're doing well! Keep up the great work!

Hi mate, I've gotten absorbed writing fics for the "Scum Villain Self-Saving System" fandom lately. Which is bad news for Harry Potter fans, but also in a way *good* news because it has made me a *much* more active writer than I have been for the past few years, and I've been writing practically every day for the past two months! (If you like that other fandom I have two new fics almost done.)
I have been working at writing in smaller units of time with regular breaks instead of my previously preferred long writing binges to spare my poor permanently injured tendons, and using MS Word's dictation feature when my muse won't let me rest but my arm cries for mercy. It's let me get a lot more writing done, but I am paying the price with low grade pain most days (only a 1 or 2 out of 10 though, so I'm satisfied it's worth it on the whole - I missed my writing hobby a lot).
I keep procrastinating finishing up my long Dramione fic (the fic I injured myself binge-writing) which I have love/hate feelings for now. :P It's next on my to-do list after my two Scum Villain fics are done, as I want to get it FINISHED and out there to share with the world, and out of my mind. (I love so much of what I put into it, I think it's a great fic with new ideas and twists people won't have seen before, I just have struggled with the final couple of chapters, and my resentment of disabling myself writing it.)
I have only made very small progress this year on the next Perfectly Normal fic, adding a few bits and pieces to my bloated planning document. The good news is while it's on hiatus it's not abandoned, and I do still plan to return to it one day. At the moment there's still only a couple of drafted scenes complete to eventually stitch into a coherent narrative, not enough to publish.
Apologies for the late reply - this message got buried in my oft-neglected inbox.

Hello, hope you're ok and don't mind me messaging out the blue! I absolutely loved reading your Dramione, Her Beauty and the Moonlight. I have a podcast reading Dramione fanfics and would love to add a podfic version of that fic on AO3 (all credit and links to original fic, and NFP) - is that something you would be ok with?
