Hey everyone~! I wanted to give you all a bit of a life update real quick and let you in on a little secret I've been slowly chipping away at for the past week or so >:3c 
          	I've graduated college!! My degree requirements are complete, and I'm currently waiting on the registrar's office to open again after summer break to have it processed and finalized. (Never be ashamed if you have to take a little extra time to finish, because finishing in itself is such a huge accomplishment! College is HARD!) Ya girl is an English major, but you might've guessed that considering my favorite hobby and pastime.
          	And for the secret... there's always been something that bothered me about the way I ended What Is Home. It seemed so silly despite the deeply disturbing and scarring topics I employed within the story. Looking back on it now, I can only cringe and be grateful for how far I've come since my freshman year of high school. Well, that and one other thing: thanks to a recent trip down Nostalgia Avenue, I've had a burst of inspiration to rewrite the ending entirely! It isn't quite done yet, but once it is I'll be adding a new chapter to WIH and posting it for you all to enjoy :D 
          	I know most of you came to follow me because of my Hetalia stories, and even though I no longer consider myself to be a part of the fandom, I still can't help but think fondly of the amazing online experiences I've had with all of you. So, with that said, I do hope that you'll check out the series I'm currently working on.
          	That's right! Bookie hasn't left at all! She's just writing a much more original and queer story about ghosts and witches. I'm very proud of it, which makes me want to share it with the rest of you very much. 
          	
          	If you made it through that wall of text, I bequeath upon you the most delicious of internet cookies and a sparkly tiara. I hope you're looking forward to the rewrite, and good luck going back to school this lovely September. WUVS!!
          	-Alex (Bookie)

I was just going through old playlists and found a song from your Home series, which I used to read obsessively. Had to come make sure they were still up, that series had an enormous impact on me and still holds a place in my top 5 fics of all time! I hope you're doing well :)

@glitch0_0 oh gosh thank you for keeping me in your thoughts! Don't worry, I don't have any plans to take down the Home series, so they should be here to reread whenever you want

Hi everyone! Hope you've been doing well and having fun in life :3 Just wanted to give you all a heads up that on my stories lately I've been seeing weird copy-pasted spam comments from accounts that I'm 100% sure are bots of some kind. Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea if you all change your passwords and make sure your device security is up to date in case this turns into a real problem for anyone. 
          I don't know exactly what's going on but above all else, don't click on the links! I always go to delete the comments when I get the emails for them, but the comments are gone when I open the browser, soooo.... *shrug* 
          In any case, I hope 2019 treats you well. Happy reading!

Totally random but I want you to know: You had made me cry with We Are Zodiac and it was the second book of yours I have red after What İs Home. Thinking about it still gives me enough nostalgia , 3 years I think it has been!

The prologue for my next installment in Camry, Dude, and Saoirse's story is up on AO3 for everyone to see if you'd like an early little sneak peek! Here's a link to my AO3 profile: http://archiveofourown.org/users/BookBird1497/works
          
          I'll be posting it up here on Wattpad soon, too, but there's more to be done before I can do that (read: gotta get a better cover picture than VLD Shiro dabbing) so look forward to that in a little while! WUVS!

Woah i remember reading 'What is... "Home?"' (and your other Hetalia fics) when i was in 7th grade and loving it so much. In fact, it was the 2nd fanfiction I've read in my entire life.
