Fizz Hangout Weekly Discussion: August 15th, 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!

We're less than 20 days from Burn Bright!! What are you most curious to learn about Harriet Fisher in BB?

 Weekly Recap

Happy Friday, magical & heroic beauties! We can't believe we're in the middle of August. It feels like Burn Bright is coming sooooo soon, which means it's starting to feel super real. We've been doing some rereads before the release just to get back into the spirit of all things Ben and Harriet. This book is so very special to us, and even upon rereading it, it truly cements it as one of our all-time favorites. There's a lot that went into creating this one, and we can't wait to talk about it more in depth next month.

This month, we will keep on teasing you with all things Burn Bright. The first chapter will be coming soon to you all, and we've been discussing even...maybe...giving you all chapter two as well 😊 It is a big book after all!

Just to recap some preorder things...

US PREORDER

🦋 Preorder from Steamy Lit Bookstore and get a signed copy + an exclusive art print by @lilytea_art -- Last Day to preorder is August 18th

INTERNATIONAL PERORDER

🦋 Pre-order from a participating store in your region to receive exclusive goodies including: a signed bookplate and a stunning Ben + Harriet art card illustrated by @miitrec -- preorder while supplies last

LAUNCH PARTY

🦋 Tickets are on sale now for the Burn Bright Launch Party. It's happening Saturday, 9/6 @6PM in Atlanta, GA. This is a bit different than a normal tour stop, as we’re making it one big super fun celebration! There will be an Author Q&A with us and @addictedlikeuspod moderating, goodie bags! (Includes multiple art prints!), raffles for other fun one-of-a-kind prizes, and we’ll be signing & personalizing your books! Also...photo ops with Cobalt Empire backdrop. Did we mention a life-size Cardboard Ben Cobalt? 🤭 We're truly trying to make this as special as it can be because it's unlikely we'll be going on tour next year with how busy our schedule is. So just a heads up, we're decreasing book signings in 2026 by a lot!

This week on Patreon, we had lots of fun things drop. In case you missed it, here's what went down:
