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!

Brand new TV shows and new seasons are dropping for the fall! Which shows are you currently tuning into or anticipating? We highly recommend checking out Line of Fire on Peacock (NBC) if you like family dramas. Only the pilot is out, but the character relationships and sibling bonds are already top tier. It's a "crime show" but we were pleasantly surprised that it leaned into the relationships between the family more than the crime plot. We love deep character building and relationship dynamics more than any plot, so this was up our alley! And it very much reminds us of nostalgic network TV. The creator was an executive producer and writer on Gossip Girl, and if you love 9-1-1, Peter Krause is the dad in Line of Fire. So it has so many great things going for it to possibly be an amazing season of TV!

Weekly Recap

Happy Friday, magical & heroic beauties! The weather is finally taking a turn here, although we're scared it might be "false fall" and we'll be back to sweltering temps soon. Fingers crossed the breeze is here to stay in Georgia!

The Read Along for Burn Bright is still going strong, so this Sunday, you can expect another mini-podcast drop on Patreon for the next set of chapters. This time, Cardboard Ben will show his face! We got him in the frame hehe. Having a Cardboard Cobalt brings us back to Cardboard Connor days and Nobody Like Us.

Another reminder, Special Editions of the Addicted Series preorder ends September 30th. Eternal Embers is also hosting a Giveaway for three sets of the special editions on their Instagram, which you can find here, and that also ends the same day too.

The merch for Tom & Phoenix art bundle has arrived! So you can expect that to appear on the store shortly. We'll make a separate post on Patreon when Tom's beautiful face graces the store. Also so many of you have been asking if there will be a Special Edition for Silver Sweet. And while there won't be one from The Love Story Society, there is one in the works from another romance book box! And the cover art is so beautiful! Release date is TBA, but we're so happy that Tom & Phoenix are going to get a special edition too.

For Loathed Love, next week is the start of Audrey x Birdie art reveals for Cobalt Wednesdays. We can't wait to share all the beautiful Audie art! Like for Silver Sweet, we'll also be doing Teaser Tuesdays on Patreon as well, so the countdown to Loathed Love has almost begun!
