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 Like Us series, 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! The question this week is...

If you could choose a character from the Like Us series, Addicted series, or any of our books to be your ride-or-die in life (and likewise, you are their ride-or-die too), who would you choose?  

WEEKLY RECAP

Hello, magical & super heroic beauties!! We hope you are having the loveliest of Fridays. We've been writing a lot behind-the-scenes and working on some of the final edits to the Extra Bonus scene featuring a Luna Hale POV, so not much has gone down on Patreon this week. But that always means more fun things are in the works! We hope you all are well hydrated and loving the weather wherever you are in the world. And in case you're looking out for it, the new print edition of Ricochet is releasing next Tuesday in stores, woot woot!! 🥳 (It's still so surreal to think they're actually in stores and available on the shelves to pick up and purchase 🥹) Thank you so, so much to everyone who has pre-ordered this one! All the sales for these new print editions from Berkley Romance help us so much since traditional publishers mainly look at sales. We love you all & appreciate it a ton!! 💖

Andrea

My ride or die would be Miss Jane Cobalt 🐱hope you both have a great weekend! Have you we keeping up with She Hulk? Super curious to know what you think if you have.

Zoe Nepolello

Without hesitation, Maximoff Hale!

Rebekah

Could there be a wait list for books with character notes for Patreon members only, even possibly another tier with this as a bonus? How long will Bad Reputation have character notes available? And Rose is my ride or die without a doubt!! 😁

Vi Truong

Yaaay happy Friday! I think I would love Rose! Surrounding myself with some one brimming with confidence might rub off on me 😂 can’t wait to see the rest of the Like Us Series SE hardcovers!

Mari ❤️

Will the illustrated cover be in your book store? What about the new addicted and ricochet edition? ❤️

Kimberly Diaz

Daisy and Luna 🥰🥰🥰 my babies right there!!!

Sioned

Ohmygosh..I can’t choose! Everyone’s just so cool!

Marbella A

Maximoff Hale because we could talk comics and Marvel and he is just very wholesome and probably a good listener + gives good advice. But his driving would freak me out, reminds me of my sister TBH

🩰

Lo or garrison or rose

Meg

Rose without a doubt

Madison

garrison hands down 😪💘

kylie

rose !!!

Beatrice

My ride or die would be Rose Calloway Cobalt 100%

Anastassia Archibald

My ride or dies would be a two-way tie between Lily and the Yale Boys lol Lo and Rose are two of my all time favs but I am wayyyyy too sensitive to hang out with the two of them long term lmao

Zeynep

i'm going for joana she can throw a punch and she is so cool 😭

Jen

Willow 🫶🏼

Abby

Rose, I know she would always have my back 🥹♥️🫶🏻

Eleanor C

Maximoff hale I love him with my whole heart

Eleanor C

Ryke as well 🫶🫶

Hannah Williams

Just out of curiousity... what ever happened to the extra bonus scenes that you guys had posted on wattpad? I know they were on your website at one time but I can't find them anymore...I was just asking bc those scene of rose and Connor (the one where she spends the night at his place for the first time and the one where Connor shuts down cobalt diamonds for her birthday) were some of my favorites:((

Sarah

That’s hard because I love Ryke and Daisy but I’m not a daredevil. I think I’d have to go with Oscar. He’s funny, he comes with snacks, can hold a conversation, and can throw a punch.

ann.nonymous

I'd pick xander cuz introverts unite! woo! Also totally random but it popped up in my head: How old is Fredrick in the Like Us universe? Because isn't he like 80 years old? Is he not retired yet?

Andressa Camille

Donnelly... Or Luna. Even if Coballoway are my love to death couple... Lunnelly are the most close to home for me. Connor and Rose are my main goal. Inspirarion of life. Luna and Donnelly would be more like me 💕

Vi Truong

What?! I don’t remember EVER reading it.. can this be brought back for patreon xD

AlliLaRoux

Donnelly or Farrow honestly

shi luvs st.cobalt

I loveee this Hangout Question! I would probably choose Farrow to be my ride-or-die in life! :) I’m a very anxious person (😅) so I would love to have someone like him around to mellow me out a bit and assist me in being more accepting of change and everything that comes with it…🤎 There’s also the added bonus of Farrow being a medical professional, so if there’s ever a life or death situation then I know that he’s got my back! ;) Also — I couldn’t help but think of the newest season of “The Challenge” when I saw this week’s question — and I just wanted to mention that I would still stand by my ride-or-die pick in that AU scenario as well (because I believe that I would benefit from having someone that works well under pressure by my side during challenges and eliminations 💭). If you guys were going onto “The Challenge” and had to pick one of your characters to be your ride-or-die, who would you choose? :)

Angelina (Charlies version) ♟️

LUNA HALE ALL THE WAY me and her are so similar in so many ways shes like my bestfriend I love her so much 😭 Ok after reading the other comments I have come to realize that me and luna cannot protect each other whatsoever other than the fact that we’d definitely fight and be a good team but im not sure how far that would get us but I still pick her because if im going to die atleast Ill have good company

SJ Maddison

I have some random Oscar questions. Probably all stuff you've already thought of for PLU, so I totally understand if you give vague non-answer, or skip this comment entirely... 1. Does Oscar find turbulence difficult? I wondered because fairground rides make him hurl and that kind of motion sickness goes hand in hand. If so, does this ever come to a head when he's travelling alone with Charlie? He's quite vulnerable when it's just the two of them on a different continent to everyone else. 2. This probably relates to above, but is there ever a moment where Charlie pushes Oscar too hard? I've noticed that Charlie likes to catch himself a little nap while Oscar's driving and guarding him, and Oscar definitely gets low blood sugar RAGE, so I was wondering if it ever came to a head. Hmm. Maybe my main question is what happens if Oscar goes down and he and Charlie are alone somewhere? 3. Is there a reason Oscar doesn't bottom? I understand preferences, but that's not what he said to Jack. Just that he hadn't done it for a long time, and I was wondering why. If something had happened to put him off.

SJ Maddison

Forgot to say, my ride or die would definitely be Banks, Oscar, or Farrow because I have a massive competence kink.

Lauren Gibbs

I both love and hate this question because there are too many great options! 🤣 I think I just want to be one of the Yale Boys, they're all some of my absolute favorite characters! 💕✨️😜

Malaika

Ryke or Oscar

Sana abobakr

literally the whole girl squad but me and audrey have a lot in common so probably her specifically

Yasti

I think probably… Xander, Rose or Frog? Or Lily! 💞

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Love that you chose Janie!! 💝 I haven't started She-Hulk yet (I'm behind on this one and Moon Knight). This is one of the Marvel shows that Krista has outpaced me on! I believe she's totally finished with it. She said something about a side character being her favorite and it's the best reason to watch. Did you like it?

Andrea

I actually did like it! Which puts me in the minority, I know lol. The last episode is a little wonky but I love the new characters, especially Jen. I like that it was just a light hearted show that doesn’t take itself seriously at all 😂 I wonder which side character though 🤔 (edit: oh I know which side character lmao she’s right)

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We'll discuss it as an option! We're not sure how if it'd frustrate more readers, though, because the wait list could be super long and the number of books available for character notes would likely be super limited (because they take us so long to do, and we're trying to allocate more time to writing ☺️) But I'll talk with Krista and see what she thinks! We appreciate the idea!! Figuring out new ways to do the character notes is pretty helpful since we don't want to get rid of them completely 💗 We're not removing the option to have Bad Rep character notes yet. It'll still be available for the rest of the year. We're also hoping to restock them soon! xoxo

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Yep, the illustrated covers & the new print editions of Addicted to You & Ricochet will all be in our signed store. We'll be phasing out the indie copies of Addicted to You & Ricochet soon 💗

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We took down all the bonuses from our website when we redid our website & from Wattpad, including the one about Connor's birthday ❤️ We're actually surprised some people have noticed this! We weren't sure if anyone ever read them on our website. We're thinking about posting them on Patreon ☺️ so they're likely to make a return!

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Frederick was about 36 in Kiss the Sky, so he's in his late 50s/early 60s in the Like Us series. Like carmine_dream says, Frederick started his career early ☺️

Rebekah

That’s why I thought maybe another tier on here or something. Yay on Bad Reputation restock!❤️

Sioned

Yay! I never got a chance to read them, didn’t even know they existed so that would be so lovely xxx

Krista & Becca Ritchie

The new season of The Challenge was totally our inspiration for the question! ☺️ Love that you thought of it!! Love your Farrow pick for the ride-or-die! Oooh if we were going on The Challenge and had to pick a ride-or-die, I might pick Thatcher, who's a good leader/team member and very physically fit, and his sweetness would make me want to try hard. Oscar would probably be another good one and Maximoff. Farrow would be super smart, but I might be more afraid of letting him down for some reason. He might intimidate me with his ability to do everything so well 😅 I feel like Akara might be too competitive in those scenarios and I'd also let him down. I don't think either Moretti brother would care if I let them down, though! (This is me, already thinking I'm gonna suck at the challenges on The Challenge 😂) ~ B

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Love your questions! 🫶 2 and 3 are likely to be brought back up in PLU. As for 1, Oscar might if the turbulence is super bad, but he's flown for often now, that he likely has tactics/tricks to help with motion sickness on planes.

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Oooh this makes me want to watch it now even more! Maybe she did like Jen. I know it was a girl and a friend of She-Hulk, but I haven't seen the first episode, so I'm not sure of the name. But she said she was a stand-out character 💕

Sioned

Can’t wait for PLU! November can’t come soon enough, but also can’t way for the podcast and LUNAS pov! Our wittle neon green cupcake!

SJ Maddison

! I knew you’d have it in mind because it was Jack who noted how vulnerable Oscar is when he’s alone with Charlie on another continent. I just wondered how things would go down if something happened to Oscar and he needed help. How would SFO even get to him? And obviously that got me thinking if it would be a teachable moment for Charlie that Oscar isn’t invincible. Love their dynamic so much, but the mom in me definitely wants to give Charlie a shake sometimes.

Noreen Olmsted

I feel like Donnelly, seeing how far he's been willing to go for Farrow and for Luna, I think he'd be an awesome Ride or Die
