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!

If you could pick one travel buddy from the Addicted or Like Us series to travel with you to Disney World (a place of magic ✨), who would it be? 

Weekly Recap

Happiest Friday to all of you!! It's officially February (where did January go?!) and that means there's so much new content about to head your way! We're writing this Fizz Hangout from the past (spooooky 👻!). But really, we just pre-wrote this post a few days early since we knew we'd be traveling today. We're not in Disney World like the Fizz Hangout question implies. But *ahem* it might be one of our fav places, and this is a location that has popped up in a series of ours 😉🎪

This weekend is a short break from work to "refuel" the creative well as they say. We're not in a creative drought, but it is nice to have new life experiences and usually these are woven into our books in some way. When we get back, February is going to be a writing cave month. It's all Luna and Donnelly vibes until their release, and we are PUMPED 👽💜

We also finally picked out the photos for the Unlucky Like Us and Nobody Like Us paperback covers. (These are the original covers with the models/people on them -- illustrated special editions are also in the works!). The photos were such a hard choice! But we really love what we picked, and we think all of you who are collecting these original covers will love them too. We hope! 🤞

The special edition illustrated covers of Books 6 - 11 will be revealed this month and next month, starting with Headstrong Like Us and Charming Like Us. So keep on the lookout for those beauties soon ✨

On Patreon this week, we dropped all the bonuses for January! In case you missed it, here's what went down:

- Main Bonus: Main Bonus #58: Xander's Missing Phone - Part One

- Extra Bonus: Extra Bonus #69: Xander's Missing Phone - Part Two

- Poll: Vote on February's Monthly Podcast

I’d pick Oscar or daisy. I feel like they’d enjoy going on all the big rides with me :) but then again if it were Charlie he’d show me all the cool hideouts…so hard!

Haley Secen

😍😱 Possibly gaining some inspo for future books?? 👀 I hope you all are enjoying your recharge! I’d probably want to go to Disney with Jane or Luna!

Rachel Parsons

Every time I think of Disneyworld, I think of the Hales so it’ll have to be one of them. I would have to pick Lily or Luna. For sure. And, also, super excited about the covers for unlucky and nobody! I have a feeling unlucky like us is just a few months away and I am beyond excited!!! 😁

Michelle

I’d truly choose Maximoff. He’d be the best to spend this type of day with. Plus we’d get his bodyguard 🤘an absolute bonus of a fucking day. If he wasn’t available, due to his impending baby girl coming, I’d sooooo choose Luna!

space babe

when can we expect new Pinterest boards for Harriet and winnifred?🙏🙏🙏🙏

Andrea

I want to say Charlie but I’m scared he’ll ditch me 😭😭

Arrow

Luna or the girl squad (that counts as one, right? Sorry Rose). Honestly, the girl squad is at the most fun age for Disney World in the Addicted/Like us series timeline right now. But Luna just seems like she’d be great to hang out with anytime.

shi luvs st.cobalt

I would want to go with Oscar because we could travel through the park and try various food items together & have a good time. :) 🤎

alyssa ✨

Hmmmm I love a chill Disney day, but it’s hard to beat my favorite travel buddy (*cough cough* the J babe). I feel like Daisy would make us an ideal trifecta - a perfect blend of spontaneity and whimsy and go-with-the-flow-ness (is there a word for that?) 😋💜

leena

does anyone know if the bad reputation will ever be able to personalised again?

Rachael

Luna! 👽 🚀 🛸 we would have so much fun!

Angelina (Charlies version) ♟️

Ok I would pick Luna because she would make it even more magical just by her view on it all and the girl squad because 1. We are also super close in age and 2. Because they all bring something unique to the table so it would be so fun

Cammarata Carrie

I would love to go with Farrow he is just fun nothing but fun!!! Question… how long of a book will PLU be? Will there be more then just the bonus we read ? TY ❤️

Lauren Gibbs

One of my favorite roller coasters at Disney is Space Mountain but I also love eating a million delicious snacks, so it's a tie between Luna and Oscar for me! 🤣

Julie

Lol yeah

Julie

Luna!! She could costume up so we wouldn't get mobbed and it would be so much fun! Love moffy and Jane and everyone but I don't want to go to Disney world with babies, totally for when the kids are older. One person mostly doesn't seem possible right now, i don't think moffy would go without Ripley or Farrow.

Debbie Greene

Ooooh! I cannot wait to see the illo cover of Oscar & Jack! 💗

space babe

listen ive been carrying xanderharriet on my back since ILU you're not crazy at all we just have a vision. and harriet being Luna's study buddy just confirmed xanderharriet for me. xander doesn't go out a lot so it would make sense that his li would be introduced to him through his sister. thoughts and prayers we're in this for the long haul it's gonna be years until their book

Katie Wootan

So beyond excited for the like us special editions. I finally took the plunge and bought the five that are out and they are BEYOND gorgeous I can’t stop staring at them!!!

Allyson M

Holy shit!! You are coming to Kentucky 😍😍😍😍😍

Arrow

Would Charlie be the best or the worst Disney companion? He’s definitely likely to just ditch you, but he also might have access to Disney’s Club 33 (the exclusive VIP club in Magic Kingdom). Plus he might just rent the park for the whole day to avoid crowds, which means you could go off and ride all the rides with no lines even if he does ditch you.

Teresa

Hi ladies I don't know much about sleepwalking, do you need to see a therapist for that or do doctor's just put you on medication

Teresa

Hey Ladies I wanted to know if you guys would ever consider letting us take a vote on a future child's name from one of our couples?

space babe

oh I'm obsessed w charlie too... and eliot... and ben... and lunnelly are my favs too... but dw im sure we'll have lots of xanderharriet crumbs this year in the two lunnelly books. source: the voices told me.

m

Hey! Anyone know where i can take a look at the inside covers of the special edition hardcovers for sinful like us and tangled like us?

Andrea

Probably worth the risk though!

Krista & Becca Ritchie

It's likely we'll reveal *at least* Harriet's before Unlucky Like Us to celebrate its upcoming release 🥳 Thank you so much for your interest in the Pinterest boards!! We've been slowly returning to Pinterest 😁 We forgot how much we loved pinning!

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Yes it will be! We'll have restocks this month where you can get it personalized & get character notes xoxo

space babe

yayyyyyy im so excited!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We're not sure how long it'll be, but we're thinking it'll definitely be the size of a novel since we have a lot of scenes we're itching to write and include from Charming, Wild, and Fearless! And right now, the idea is to post everything that'll be in the novel, so there wouldn't be extra missing things in the print edition that you haven't read 💗

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Thank you so, so much for getting the special editions!! So happy you're loving them!! *hugs tight*

Krista & Becca Ritchie

It likely depends on the degree/severity of sleepwalking. Our cousin & aunt sleepwalk, and they don't need medication. But if it's very frequent, a person would probably need to see a doctor

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Oooh, good question! One of the reasons we'd probably stray away from this is that it would spoil a lot of the future things that we like keeping secret 💗 The "title" vote for Luna & Donnelly's 13th book was probably the most involvement we'd do for a creative aspect with the novels, if that makes sense

Teresa

It does thanks for answering, but if you already reveal what the sex of the baby is in one book before the next book we could vote on a name. Maybe 😅

Farida

i would love to go with maximoff!!

Kopal Agarwal

Either audrey because she would marvel at each attraction while using elegant words or connor because he would be so irritated as it operates on the notion of magic
