::taps mic:: This thing still work?

HI EVERYONE! I'm so sorry I dropped off the face of the earth for a bit there. I was quite sick at the end of May/beginning of June with a major chronic disease flare up, and it's been near impossible to get back into my rhythm with writing fanfic, in part because...

I've signed a book deal!

Two books of mine will be coming out in 2026 (yes, publishing takes 7000 years) with a boutique publisher. They are reimagined versions of earlier AU fanfic works for mine with original characters in similar set ups, so they will look a bit familiar to you when they debut. If you want more info, please DM me and I'll gladly link you to my official author accounts on IG and Twitter.

I cannot tell you all how deeply grateful I am for your readership and encouragement. It's because of the engagement from you all that I felt like I actually had something to say as a writer, and because of that, my dream of being published is on its way to coming true. Thank you thank you thank you.

To celebrate, FINALLY an update to Princess Material! I am determined to finish this story and I hope you'll stick around to its conclusion. Hopefully updating every couple of days to get us there!

In today's installment, Terri has arrived in Portania. Are there more secrets left to uncover?

gAh there's a scene i've already written for ch7 of the wedding planner au and i'm SO excited to get it out there and i'm so hopeful you guys are gonna love it but writing the preamble to it is killing me!!!!

that is literally taking all my time but it's gonna get done. slowly but surely. hang in there guys i'm hoping this one is worth the wait

Ooh, girl, it's going to get worse before it gets better. Good thing they're adorable little idiots in love!

Ship trope I'd love to see more of: "Are we in love? I mean, yeah, probably, but that's a problem for future us. Right now we're just trying to make it through the Plot."

So I watched Prom Pact today and I can't stop picturing it as a portwell au

Gina is ambitious like Mandy and would be 100% focused on getting to her dream university (Harvard could work in this au but because this is portwell let's say it's Duke) and season 1 Gina would definitely be the type of person to get close to someone to get a letter of recommendation (after she gets waitlisted at duke)

Enter EJ, the son of Duke graduate and senator Cash Caswell (side note: big shout-out American Royalty by Aroundthewaygirl)

Canon EJ is so similar to Graham: jock, popular, comes across as self-centered (but he really isn't), and his father always seems to be disappointed in him (doesn't matter how hard he tries to meet his expectations). The only difference between canon EJ and Graham is that EJ has good grades, but he can have bad grades in this au, for the sake of needing a tutor (Gina)

(I'm still trying to figure out who would fit better for Ben, Ashlyn or Carlos)

I'm a sucker for Family Fluff and the feels double when it happen to involve my favorite ships as parents. Portwell as Parents is such a niche and specific trope that I'm craving.

"Dear Theodosia" from Hamilton the Musical is such a sweet lullaby that I can imagine EJ singing to his child. I'm currently reading Aroundthewaygirl's "It Happened One Night" and my heart is melting at the idea of EJ singing a lullaby and lulling baby Serena to sleep.

Hiii again!

I'm so sorry I keep disappearing on y'all! I feel like I drop in, give a random book update, and peace out again.

... which, sorry, I'm going to do today.

The reason I have been so busy is that I have officially released my first novella! It's another re-imagined Portwell AU that I've evolved with original characters. Not Another Hallmark Holiday Movie! has officially become...

THE COWBOY CHRISTMAS GLOW UP

If you are inteteresred in checking it out, it's available on Amazon in e-book and paperback, as well as on Kindle Unlimited. It's also now a full blow adult romance novel, so there are several spicy scenes that are open door.

But this isn't a sales pitch, it's a thank you. One that's in the Acknowledgement at the end of the book. I'll just leave it here.

You all are the reason I kept writing, the reason I decided I could publish, the reason this book made its way onto the world. Thank you times a million, and even that's not enough.

[aroundthewaygirlao3]

Hmm...

[portwellbabes]

Weekly chapter update!!! See if you can catch the Summer I Turned Pretty references as well as a teeny tiny bit of Harry Potter 🫣🤫

Also please leave comments you guys!! I would really appreciate feedback🫶🏽

[aroundthewaygirlao3]

So if I told you I have about 2k words of a jockxcheerleader friends-to- lovers boarding school AU I started last night... you'd be into it?

someone PLEASE write a jock x cheerleader portwell fic or I'll do something drastic like write it myself

[thstarsofsilver]

hey everyone, i'm so sorry i haven't posted ch6 of the portwell wedding planner au yet.

life has been insane and i haven't had the chance to finish the chap - plus i'm battling some insane writer's block because nothing has been going the way i want it to!!!! i write something and then i hate it and just tell myself i'll come back to it in a few hours (spoiler alert: i don't). anyway i'm really hoping it will be done soon. i will try to put out a longer chapter to repent but i have no idea if that will be possible, but something will be out soon i promise

thank u so much for your patience!!!!! <3 to every person who reads my silly little fic i love you so much

[goldengashes]

hey bestie, just wanna say i love your page. idk why r*nas have the need to send you portwell hate when they already won. like you're enjoying your ship on your own blog and they come and hate on you as if their ship isn't happy and sailing 💀

love your content, love you ❤

aw thanks! i don’t take it to heart and i sorta understand. i guess the rinas are a bit agitated by the hsmtmts cancellation. no one wins forever lol! sucks to suck. i mean, at least my ship is immortalized by the most incredible fic, tsbu and many other AUs on ao3 🥰

i try not to instigate fights over ships but boy, do i love entertaining bored anons on tumblr sometimes.

thanks for the love. have a great day <3

[michelleasli]

[aroundthewaygirlao3]

OMG, this is GORGEOUS! Thank you so much for a lovely little Christmas Eve surprise!

hi hi hi! so @aroundthewaygirlao3 has blessed us with a beautiful portwell xmas fic which i absolutely adore (as per usual) so i thought i’d make a moodboard for it! hope you like it <3

go read the salt sugar plum swap if you haven’t already, it’s so so good! and merry christmas if you celebrate 🩷

[kaysonthejackal]

I recently made an ao3 account so I can write seblos and Portwell fics and aus on there

But of course I have zero ideas

[skyeward-otp]

To anyone who's been interested/waiting (not-so) patiently for it. I've finally posted the second piece of my Portwell NYC au. Took a while to get here, but we finally did it. Hope you all enjoy. And I've got two more pieces planned out, so stay tuned for those. :)
