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 Charlie Cobalt told you he was going to Paris TONIGHT and asked you to come with him for the weekend (all expenses paid!) -- but you have to make the decision NOW. Would you go?

Weekly Recap

Happiest Friday to all of you!! Today is a special Friday because Headstrong Like Us and Charming Like Us special edition covers dropped. We're so in love with these, it's not even funny. Are we celebrating? Definitely! It's a good Friday 😊

We hope your February has been going well so far! Valentine's is right around the corner. We always talk about having a book release on Valentine's but we can never make it happen. Maybe one day! It's one of our silly goals in our list of silly goals 😂 Another silly goal this year was posting more on TikTok, and I (Krista) took up that mantle with my frayed and tattered superhero cape. It's...going LOL. I'm not made for the camera, but I'm not putting too much pressure on it. Just being myself and having fun with it. So if you want to follow us over there, you can expect some goofy videos. 

What are we doing the rest of February? Getting more special edition covers ready! AND writing. Lots and lots of writing! We're still on track for our Spring release of Unlucky -- but it's going to be a tight release for us. So if we go MIA end of February/March, don't send out the search parties! We are just deep inside our writing cave 🤓. 

In case you missed it, here's what went down on Patreon this week:

- Announcement: And the topic for February's Monthly Podcast is...

- Cover Reveal: Special Edition Reveals: Headstrong & Charming Like Us!

Meaghan Wilson

I’d say I could make that work! 🥰🥰

Haley Secen

Absolutely let’s hop on the plane and go!

Andrea

Of course I would go!! This is probably once in a lifetime

Sascha

You had me at all expense vacation 😂 Do you guys have an official date in mind for unlucky to come out or do you think you’ll wait closer to spring to announce/decide?

Michelle

Fuck yes I would.

Maira

easiest decision, ABSOLUTELY YES.

Lindsay Hunter

Immediately, yes! and when he ditches me, I won’t even be mad about it. 🇫🇷🫦🍷🧀🥖

Haley Secen

Also I can’t wait to see more goofy Krista on TikTok - I have a similar goal (and a similar feeling about the camera) so good luck to us both 😂

faith

is this even a real question?😂 i said yes @ “if charlie cobalt…” yes yes yes lmao

Bri

YES! lets go babbyyy

Megan

I'd be sitting in the jet before he finished the question 🤣

Kayla Reynolds

I love solo vacations, so I feel that this trip would align perfectly with Charlie and I's personalities when he inevitably disappears lol!

Kayla Reynolds

Will you be announcing the restocks for Bad Reputation on Instagram or Patreon? Or should we just periodically check the site? Thank you for being considerate towards those completing their book collection, I was just able to complete mine! Love you guys!

Annette

YES! Work what work… instantly sick.

Debbie Greene

Yes, in a New York minute! Charlie & I (and Oscar & Jack!!!) could stare at Winged Victory all day long. It's my favourite sculpture. I fell in love with it when I first went to Paris when I was 16.

Hannah Williams

totally off topic but i think that for valentine's day you guys should but the old wattpad bonus scenes on patreon, especially the rose and connor ones because i am having withdrawals...just an idea 😉

Amalia Maragoto

Are you kidding?!? Hell yes I’m going! Imma miss my cousin’s b-day party and bring him something cute from Paris to make up for it 😂😂😂 NGL though I would like to stick with Charlie just cuz A. Oscar is there 😍😍😍😍 and B I really want him to call me out on something anything. I’m toxic like that sorry 😂

Amalia Maragoto

They usually do small restocks every once in a while. I basically had an open window in my phone all the time and everyday checked if the book I wanted to buy was available. But they also say what they have in stock every Friday in these fizz hangouts posts. I guess just check those and one day you will get lucky and snatch that baby down 💪🏼

Debbie Greene

What??? There are more Rose and Connor bonus scenes?????

Lauren Gibbs

I'm grabbing my passport and we're going! I'm all about sporadic trips! 👏🏻💕😜 Also!! Can I just say how much I loved these last illustrated covers?! Haley is KILLING it!! The Charlie cameo?!?! 🙌🏻💯

Kim Tymchyn

UMM....YES! If Charlie Cobalt asks you to go somewhere...you go no questions asked! 😋🖤

Zeynep

Oh ABSOLUTELY cmon now it's Charlie, also as long as all expenses are paid like i'm going with anywhere with anyone plssshwjdjwhd

❥ Cait (The Carraway’s #1 fan)

Yes, I would go to Paris with Charlie!! I think it would be a really fun adventure, but I’d have anxiety the entire time because I’d be afraid of being ditched 🤪. AND I would get to spend time with Oscar, and hopefully Jack as well 🥹🫶🏻

Kaitlyn Pasi

this is probably the easiest question we’ve ever had on here! simple answer is yes… duh

Elena

i would absolutely go who needs time to prepare anyways 😅

Lucia

Absolutely

Evie N

I would love to read about the scene from Lo’s POV when he catches donnelly and Luna on that bed after they fell through the floor

Leah Frascarelli

Heard a great song that gives Luna and Donnelly vibes. Check out In Your Universe by Banners!

Julie

Yes, I would go. Europe is a dream.

Nichole Suckow

I would absolutely go and so excited for the new book covers!

Vi Truong

Yes to going to Paris!

Illyana

Hey darlings! Ah of course i would! It's just a train-a-way for me from london (hehe queue to when i visited in a pipeline moment to come to the convention to see you guys straight from the office ! hahaha). What would you guys say? :O

Illyana

How are you guys doing! Did you guys finish Yellowstone and White Lotus? What else are you guys listening via audio/watching/reading as of late?:D

Illyana

Also while i am at it- i hope u don't mind, i have a lore question! I am re-reading Addicted After All, and there is the 'bougie camping moment' where the girls discuss their figures and Rose mentions, she still has 15 pounds and Lily asks if she works out and Rose is really clear that she works out but from the privacy of her bedroom via workout videos. Why did Rose go out of her way to specify that she workouts privately? vs. a gym? What workout videos are they and what is her 'ideal weight'? x

Sioned

I always forget it’s just a train for us 😆😆

Sioned

The silly goals are always the best!

Illyana

right?! ive now been on that train twice and i can confirm its an easy experience ;) much easier then taking the daily tube during rush hour ill tell you that lol!

Arrow

Honestly, I think I’d say no. Not because of Charlie, but because my wife and I are planning our honeymoon there and I think I’d just be too depressed to go without her.

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We're hoping to wait closer to the book being complete before we announce anything ☺️ We want to make sure we have enough to time promote it. But we do have a couple dates in mind 💗

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We recommend periodically checking the store! They go super, super fast. They've already sold out of the first restock for character notes. Sometimes they sell out much faster than us being able to list them available during the Fizz Hangouts, so def check the site often this month! Especially next week 😉😉 xoxo

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Some of those *might* end up in the new print editions! So we're waiting to see what we end up putting in those editions before we post them on Patreon 💗

Kayla Reynolds

I was able to get one this past weekend!! I was so excited when I got it I was like freaking out lol, I can’t wait to get it! Thank you for reaching out 🥹 love you both!! ❤️

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Ah YAY!! We're so happy you're loving the special edition covers!! Haley has done such an amazing job!! And when she came up with the Charlie idea for the cover, we were OBSESSED!

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Started listening to it and instantly added it to our writing playlist! LOVE IT!!! Thankyouthankyou 💗

Krista & Becca Ritchie

I would definitely go, but I would want Krista to be with me in the event that Charlie *does* ditch us, so we wouldn't be alone lol. I would want a companion of some sort while I'm in Paris. Plus, I think I might take it a little to heart if he ditched me, and it'd feel less like a sting if there were others with me on the trip.

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Basically Rose doesn't identify as a "gym person" so she would emphasize that she works out at home with no audience. We try our best not to specify weights (though, we think we have for Sulli). We imagine she does things like Beach Body, and we can also see her getting a Peloton! 😄

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We've been doing well! Krista has been sick this week, though, so I know she wishes she felt better. We did finish both Yellowstone and White Lotus! I loved the second season of White Lotus. The newest season of Yellowstone was a bit meh, but I'm OBSESSED with the new spin-off show 1923. There's a romance in it that reminds me so much of Ryke & Daisy. Since I'm on a Montana kick with Yellowstone it seems lol, I ended up reading Indigo Ridge by Devney Perry and really enjoyed it!! I loveee that it had a thriller/mystery aspect, and the romance was so cozy. It was a really great February read. I just started the next book in the series Juniper Hill. We've both been watching The Last of Us, though I know you prob can't watch it since it's on HBO Max. Other than that, we're both super excited for the new Ant-Man movie!! *tosses confetti every which way* Have you watched or read anything good lately?

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Awww I love this answer, though! Congrats to you and your wife on your marriage! Krista & I hope you enjoy Paris!! *hugs tight*

Sioned

I agree! I'm WAY too sensitive for his stunts lmao
