So sorry this is late, we had a family wedding that I rather forgot about on Saturday, and Sunday I was in no mental shape to write and needed to prioritize some self care. It's a bit shorter than I'd thought, but it sets up the absolute chonker of a chapter that will be Bel's family party. 

As always, I look forward to your helpful critiques and awesome comments!

I am literally living for this series now, I started on like chapter 20, and have spent the last week catching up on all the chapters, amazing work!

Ingrid A.K Klevstuen

Always makes my day brighter when I get notifications from you, keep on being awesome and taking care of yourself ❤️

Basil

this is so cute!!!!

Arminda Gray

Always prioritize your self-care and mental well-being. That said, THANK YOU FOR THR CHAPTER 💚💚💚 I am so much more invested in this series than I am in nearly every person in my life.

Christopher Holland

Self care and family are important. Hope things are going well for you.

Andy Johnson

If not friend, why friend shaped? Of course friend!

adriana amaya

Omg that last part had me cackling!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 can't wait for the next one! But of course please take care! 😁

Kat 💜

Bel noticed...😈

Nikolas Murphy

Always prioritize yourself first. Your health is far more important! I’d rather have a late chapter then you overly working yourself!

Sunita Buddhu

This is so cute and the perfect finish to a great day!!

Rayna Kenawell

Never apologize for prioritizing self care! I love this chapter. The ending was the best. Eating people and being very friend shaped. 😂❤️

Hannah Kuracina

I loved the Jaws reference, as someone who is short I relate

Peyton Stanley

If not friend why friend shaped?? :'''')

Kat 💜

Also, we love a chonky chapter 😁

?Eli?

Love this! Their family moments are so cute! I love seeing it slowly develop after knowing how it turns out in hells belles! Can’t wait for the next one!

Nicole M

I'm glad you took you-time. This was such a sweet chapter. They are such a cute little family ❤

Peter Psareas

I love your writing whenever it comes or. Anticipation. Excitement at the notice. The joy of opening the chapter and reading it. Then the comments each day and the anticipation of a new chapter. Please don’t rush. This chapter of everyday life is so cool. Lily beginning to realize she might want to stay for Bel, for Sharkie and for herself. I find it hard to believe you are only 28. When you are a famous author I can tell people I read your work before the experts found you.

Alexis Crespo

Best little chapter to lead into the party. Can't wait till this weekend

Samantha Johnson

Short but sweet, and a great setup for a chonky chapter I am drooling to read!

Melissa Thiemann

Nice short and sweet chapter. It helps answer how Sharky started growing and other cute parts. Your an amazing writer. Keep up the great work. And no worries. We all need self care,

Thornblade

As always a complete delight! Really looking forward to the party but this was just such a sweet chapter. Admittedly I speed read this one as I'm on a time crunch but wanted to get it in. I'll come back later and proof read it then. 😜 Cheers!

Amanda

It was so cute!

Ann Sullivan

Awwwwww Sharkie is the best! Loved the hug scene.

Kristin Tronnier

I love this series so much. Thank you. You made my day. I am not sure, but I think on Page 7 it should be "are inferior to your bitchy ass" instead of "than your bitchy ass". I could be wrong though.

Amanda W

Self care is important! Cute chapter! Cannot wait for the family party!

Courtney

I fall in love with series more and more with every chapter 💜

Kat Waterflame

Second paragraph: "...and wrapper her arms around Lily’s waist..." I believe that word should be "wrapped" not "wrapper". :)

Caz

I was just about to go to bed and something made me look at my email, squealed with delight when I saw one from Patreon! Short chapter yes, but very sweet. I can not wait for the next one!

Sam

I cannot wait for Lily to meet Bels mom for the first time. 🤩

C Williams

Sometimes it be how it is when it do, you know?

Kristiane Laucht

Ha, I knew Sharkie wouldn't be a fan of Jaws! Damn, Lily's soul has been through the ringer. She bit him......She Bit Him.....yeah that's the part of the chapter my brain is stuck on.😅

Sorkabeth

Oh, Sharkie is so cute! And I am SO looking forward to the family party! I love that Lily is building her own family! Hell's Belles is absolutely my comfort media right now. (Hmmm...apparently I can't start a new paragraph on mobile, sorry.) I do have a constructive criticism for one moment in this chapter...the soul that Lily calls BeigeWatch is described as "heavyset" which is often (not that you were necessarily using it this way) code for "fat", especially when describing people perceived as women and the Baywatch comparison kind of felt like fat shaming to me. Like, we know that if we were filmed running in slow motion, people would laugh at us. However, I fully support Lily judging the souls fashion choices and I really hate the color beige, so maybe, in this specific case the best way around the uncomfortable bit is just to describe that specific soul a different way or to simply omit the word heavyset? Again, I'm not suggesting that you meant it the way my lived experience led me to hear it, and I don't even know if most fat women would feel the same way, but it felt off when it came out of Lily's mouth. Thanks for listening and truly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for Hell's Belles.

You don’t ever have to apologize for putting out another chapter!! Taking this flexibly, seems to me, is one of the things that allows you to put the time in that’s needed, and one of the big reasons why we get such thoroughly enjoyable writing. There’s been so many big moments for all of the major characters, it’s kind of appropriate to have time, literally, for reflection. Give everyone a chance to put things in context. Kinda like today video - just hella fun!.

Magik Bus

I was so happy to see this in my email! Wonderful as usual! This whole story is definitely going to become a comfort reread.

SeaYaLater

Thank you SO MUCH! I was aiming for equal representation, and ended up body shaming, which was not and is never my intention. Thank you so much for the critique, I will be editing that bit of the chapter asap so that it will not be in the chapter when it is posted to ao3 down the line.

Sorkabeth

Thank you. I'm a little bit like Penny in the 'often too afraid to mention something that bothers me' sort of way, but I KNEW you would want to know if there was something uncomfy in your writing because I know you CARE.

Joedraj22

Sharkie is so freaking cute I love it. Reminds me of my little sister when she was younger!

Ellie

friend shaped! Thanks for that description! Well done!

SeaYaLater

Thank you for channeling Brave Penny 🥰 yeah I plan on putting this through several sensitivity readers in addition to editing to make sure I haven’t said anything else badly or from a place of ignorance!

Kim Bowie

Sharkie's joy at growing is wonderful! I am curious about a thing though. Will this book outrank the videos as "canon"? I mean, it makes sense that this story has given you more time to reflect and make things happen at a pace you prefer rather than the schedule of production on the other app. I just worry about people getting picky about continuity because this is YOUR baby/world and you call the shots.

Celine Gorman

I’ve come to realize that getting to read this, is like reading chapters my best friend use to write and email to me to help edit before she posted or sent it in. I love your writing style and how you describe things, it’s always enough to see it in my mind but not overly explained. I hope the wedding went well and you got some much needed self care and rest! Thanks for everything you do 💛

Talia

That's perfect, Sharkie is so friend shaped!

Torborg

This was such a sweet chapter💛 And Sharkie is definitely friend shaped!

Jes Land

I loved it! Can't wait for the family party. Here are two tiny edits I found. *second paragraph wrapped not wrapper* *where (I) was burned as a witch*

Thomas Forrest

Absolutely loved it! Glad you are taking the time you need for yourself! That being said, I can’t wait to read the chonk chapter!!

CH

I save up chapters so I can read a bunch at a time. You are such a good storyteller. I enjoy your writings very much

GMScooter

I know an author (Larry Corriea) who started his first book a lot like this. He posted his chapters on a forum. When he got to the end, he self published. Have you considered that?

Beth Reilly

When I read about Sharkie weaving through the other kids, the Jaws theme popped into my head and I had a good giggle. You have such a gift for writing!

Kat Brown aka MamaKat

I know two major SF/F authors who did this when their publisher went oob. Sharon Lee and Steve Miller wrote two books that way.

Aj Hawkins

Sharky is indeed very friend shaped

Kat Brown aka MamaKat

Dang! Only one typo! This is a Good Thing™️ because I’m the typo queen. They can not hide from me! Muahahahahaha!

Ivy Lyn

These chapters always make my day ❤️ Thank you for sharing your talent with us!

Marloes

I love all of it but I especially love Bel calling Sharkie "friend shaped". It's so adorable.

GlitchyFirefly

You rock. It's 1 am... Now stop making me feel the feels. Also, page 7, "indigenous people are inferior than (to?) your bitchy arse"
