Fizz Hangout Weekly Discussion: July 18th, 2025 (Patreon)

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!

What type of merch do you like and gravitate toward? Stickers, bookmarks, sweatshirts, hats, tees, character art prints, keychains, etc.?

 Weekly Recap

Happy Friday, magical & heroic beauties! There has been BIG NEWS this week. We have officially announced not one but TWO preorder campaigns for Burn Bright. We love Steamy Lit and Sincerely Yours bookstores so much, so we're so excited that we were able to partner with them on these campaigns.

💙 Sincerely Yours Preorder Campaign - a pop-up box will appear for you to include a personalization

💙 Steamy Lit Preorder Campaign - if you'd like a personalization, be sure to read the directions in the description before you put your book in your cart.

International Readers: There will be a separate preorder campaign for all of you! We'll have more news on that soon.

As for a book tour, we won't be going on a tour but will be doing a Launch Party instead in Georgia. It will be during the weekend, not on Tuesday, so that more readers can make it. We're hoping to have more news on this next week!

As far as writing goes, we're under a pretty intense deadline these next two weeks. So if we're quieter on here or slower to respond, that's why! You can expect us to be super chatty once August hits ✨ And of course there is still lots more content to be dropped on Patreon, so you can expect podcass and more Frog & Quinn on the way! As well as a fun extra this month, too. Oh AND some WIP Snippets for those who love Webs We Weave 🕸

Side Note: We saw Superman last weekend and it hit us to our core! We've always loved James Gunn's writing. Guardians of the Galaxy has our humor to the tee! But there was something about Superman that just ignited every creative inspo and gave us those hopeful feelings we yearn for from our own writing. It reminded us a lot of Burn Bright (maybe recency bias!) but also because Ben Cobalt would try to save a squirrel. IYKYK. We highly recommend giving it a watch! We grew up loving Smallville and Becca is obsessed with Superman & Lois, but this Superman is by far our all-time fav. And yes.....we know Loren Hale is giving us a major side-eye 😂

This week on Patreon, we had lots of announcements. So in case you missed it, here's what went down:

Announcement: BIG NEWS: 14 Bonus Scenes are now in eBook format 🩷

Announcement: 💫 Patreon Goals for Special Bonus Scenes 💫

IMPORTANT: July is the last month the discount will apply to merch. Starting in August, it will be offered for books only.
