Welcome to the newest Fizz Hangout! Every Friday, you all can stop by the weekly Fizz Hangout post and ask questions (to us or to your fellow patrons), discuss recent bonus scenes and/or podcasts with each other, and catch up on all the goodies you might've missed!

HANGOUT QUESTION: we love seeing your response to questions about the Addictedverse, and it helps facilitate some awesome discussions! Each week, there'll be a new "hangout question" that you can answer in the comments, if you wish!

Which Cobalt sibling are you most excited to read about as a side character? We're not talking POV. So which Cobalt are you eager to get from someone else's perspective?

 Weekly Recap

Happy Friday, magical & heroic beauties! What a week it's been. We're in the process of decompressing and catching up on a bunch of things we let fall to the wayside during our deadlines. We've also been getting back into reading for fun and organizing our offices. We have a little short window before we're back in the editing trenches, so we're excited for the change of pace. We've often discussed how the top of this year has been our most challenging year yet in terms of deadlines, and we're so very close to seeing the light at the end of the tunnel!

We also received our release schedule for our upcoming six book series...ahem Cobalt Empire. And we think you all will LOVE what we have planned. There is one particular release date that has us very excited. We can't give away too much, so all we can say is that this series won't take 6 years to finish!

Here on Patreon, we're so excited to be discussing Webs We Weave and Audrey Cobalt on the pod this month. Plus, Frog and Quinn have our hearts. Patreon continues to be our happy place, so thank you all for being here with us. And in case you missed it, here's what went down this week:

Andrea

Definitely Beckett 💙 so happy to hear you’re getting some down time for a little while

Lois

I wanna see Beckett and Eliot from their siblings povs. Maybe Charlie from Eliot’s and Beckett more than anyone

Donnae🤍

Audrey!! In a bonus scene she said that Ben is her closest sibling. I can’t wait to see her from Ben’s POV🥹

cass (ben’s version)

i love getting little pieces of information, but at the same time it kills me!!! i need to know!!!

Miranda

Eliot! Enjoy your downtime! 💗 Any shows you plan on catching up on?

Rachel Parsons

I’m excited to see Eliot and how his brothers and Audrey view him! He’s my favorite cobalt brother other than Charlie 💙

Hayat

It’s less about which cobalt sibling specifically I get to read about and more about getting it from Harriet’s perspective. Thus far we’ve only ever gotten li povs from people who are both used to being around these families due to work reasons and also usually older than the famous ones themselves. I really think Harriet’s pov as an “outsider” who is in the same age group as most famous ones will be super interesting!

Bri

I'm so excited to see more of everyone but especially Charlie!!! Enjoy your down time! <3 I'm SO excited for the Cobalt Empire, I still can't believe we're talking about dates and releases for it lol!

Angelina (Charlies version) ♟️

CHARLIEEEEE AHAHAHAHA I'm far too predictable but I think it's FASCINATING how we see him through many POVs throughout like us and all representations of him are wildly different I'm really interested to see him in Becketts POV vs Bens or Eliots AGHHHHHHHHHHH RELEASE DATES FOR CE DYING DEAD Sooo glad you guys have some time after all the craziness to just chill

Natalie 👽🤍

ELLIOT ALICE COBALT. looks like Connor with the personality of Rose 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼 that’s my man

Yasti

I hope you both find some time to get some proper rest! 😇🩷 I am actually dying to see Audrey from Ben’s POV, so I can’t wait for BB! With there being 7 Cobalts though, there are so many interesting combinations to answer this question. Some other ones I’m excited for: • Jane from Charlie’s POV!! 🏆 (it’s not a want it’s a need! This relationship fascinates me, I love it) • Charlie from Joana’s POV • Audrey from Harriet’s POV • Tom from Charlie’s and Eliot’s POVs • Ben from Charlie’s POV (I feel like this one is a really obvious and popular one but I couldn’t resist) I could go on and on but I shall restrain myself!! Omg the release date teases are evil 😭 Idk what I’m going to do when September rolls around. Probably explode with excitement. I’m so amped for BB that I can’t even wildly speculate on who book 2 will be about at this point 😂 Sending love! x

Kelsey🤍

I’m just so excited to see the cobalts from the cobalts pov!

Cam

beckett from ben and charlie's povs and eliot from tom and audrey! and I'm excited to see more of jane through all her siblings' eyes especially now that she's a mom 💕

Arrow

Tom! I can’t wait to see him from other POVs and to read his book! I’m also most excited for his book, but I am so eager to see him as a side character in Burn Bright at the moment!

claireeeee

anyone know when the monthly podcast is gonna drop?? im so excited for this one!

claireeeee

Hi im new to patreon this month. Is it normal that there have been no new bonus scenes so far? Or is it just a slow month? How often do they come out?

Krista & Becca Ritchie

During our deadline months, most of the content will come out toward the end of the month. We try our best to spread the bonuses throughout the month, but sometimes it takes us longer to write certain ones (especially if they're lengthier), so you might see more things like extras and fun teasers at the top of the month and then the big content toward the end 🩷 Thank you so so much for being here and all the support!! And we hope you enjoy everything on our Patreon 🫶

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We're prepping it soon! We're hoping to get the written content out first this month and then the podcasts afterward since they're bigger pods with the deep-dive in the mix 🩷

Krista & Becca Ritchie

He's one of my top favs in Burn Bright (I will go on the record saying this 😂) I want to mention someone else, but I will restrain myself 🤣 xoxo B

anna

Eliot from any Cobalt's pov! And Charlie in Beckett's and vice versa. The twin relationships in the addictedverse are some of my favorites. 🤗

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Interview with a Vampire season 2! Krista said it's amazing, and I've yet to have time to binge-watch it all. I can't wait!!

Dana Buscher

Elliot, I adore his theatrics with Everyone♥️

claireeeee

Yes!!! I love it and I’m so grateful for everything y’all post! Y’all are the best!!

Abby (Eliot’s version)

Release schedule?? It’s actually happening 🥹 like I know it’s happening (duh Abby 🙄) but is it weird that every little reveal makes it feel more real? More like we’re finally here after all this time? The next couple years are going to be such a gift 💙 Oh and the question of the day - i can’t wait to see Eliot through his brothers’ eyes! But really if I’m being honest, I just need all the Cobalts any way I can get them!

AJ

Eliot Alice, always 💙

Lily💌

Audrey 100%!!! I can’t wait to see what chaos she causes🤣🤣 But super excited to see all of the Cobalts from Ben’s POV especially as he sees himself as the outlier <3

shi luvs st.cobalt

No restraints necessary! We are great secret keepers, right guys? (everyone agree with me please 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↔️). (lol jk jk. I’ll let you keep your secrets ~~ 🤎)

Abby (Eliot’s version)

Literally me when I read it - COME BACK YOU CAN TELL US WE WONT TELL KRISTA WE SWEAR 😂😂

shi luvs st.cobalt

I’m always curious to see what antics Tom + Eliot get up to! :) Plus, Tom’s connection to Harriet will be…interesting to read about through Ben + Harriet’s POVs lol (😅)! (Tom’s my favorite though, so I’m a bit biased and will likely choose him for all of the good things 🙂‍↕️). I’m glad to hear that y’all have a little time to yourselves right now! :’) It feels like you’ve been on the go for so long — getting to chill + decompress for a little while must feel so nice! 🤎🤎 Are you reading anything that you’d recommend? 👀 I’ve fallen a bit behind on the reading train this year (I’ve been avoiding looking at my Goodreads Reading Goal because I feel like it’s just mocking me at this point lol 😭). I did read DM though (!!) so that’s progress (take that, reading slump 👊). I’m hoping to read “A Series of Rooms” by A.J. Barlowe soon! I’ve heard great things! :) I’m sending y’all all of the love & the chillest of vibes! 🤎🤎

Elaine Chamberlin

Charlie is always gonna be my answer but really I want you to see a little of all of them. ❤️

millie (coballoway's version)

as always I'm incapable of choosing between Cobalt siblings, but I'm really excited to see Tom and Eliot from each other's POV and to see Audrey from everyone's POV. of course, I'll forever want more Charlie too but I think I'm more excited to actually get his POV. also, ik this is about siblings but I'm dying to see Connor and Rose from everyone's POV, they will always have the most special place in my heart 🥹💙 the release schedule tease is killing meeee 😭 I wanna know everything 😫

mayyve

Charlie is going to be my most anticipated Cobalt book and side character in BB. Next to his book, I really want to read Tom and Elliot 's as well🤍

Lucia

I can't choose!! But maybe Connor? I've been dying to see how his kids see him. For the world he is like this god and genius and perfect example of what to strive for. For the family he's the guy who will always be there to fix everything, the one you can count on. But I'm intrigued to see how his kids see him? Specially for someone like Ben, seeing how Connor is a pretty grey character in a lot of aspects, I would love to see how his narcissism (even though controlled through therapy) may have affected or influenced his Kidd's upbringing

Kaitlyn Pasi

CHARLIEEEE but elliot is a close second for me🥰🥰

Shelby Keating

I’m curious about Charlie for sure but also Eliot, I’m curious who can see through Eliot’s mask. I’m also just very curious about Rose and Connor since we saw them younger and I feel like we didn’t get as much of them as I expected in Jane’s books since for their first book they were a secret so they weren’t around Rose and Connor that much and for most of the second book they were trapped on another continent.

Hailey

Definitely Tom, I’m really excited to see how he is from others POV, especially Eliot’s!

Stephanie

I am most excited about Beckett. I feel like he’s been a bit of a mystery with him always being at ballet. I think the duality between him and Charlie will be interesting.

Teresa

Hi KBR, from the character art that was just released can you confirm that Harriet has a belly piercing? Thank you ❤️

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Krista read Silver Elite and LOVED it! She's been raving about it to me all week. She's always loved dystopian more than fantasy, so it was right up her alley! I can't wait to dive into it! Thank you for reading Destructively Mine!! Makes us happy to hear, and maybe (hopefully) Burn Bright will help you out of your slump. But hoping you get out of it before September!! My problem right now is everything I read is making me want to reread the Like Us series & Addicted series and write more in the world lol 😂 I have a problem! I am way too addicted 😆

Krista & Becca Ritchie

It's HAPPENING!! It does feel wayyyy more real now that it's drawing closer and promo is amping up! I think for me, it's going to feel 100% like "it's coming" once the first wave of ARCs go out.
