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!

You are invited to the Lake House for the holidays! But there's not enough room for you to have your own room. Which Like Us character would you choose to share a bunk bed with?

Weekly Recap

Happy Friday, magical & heroic beauties!! We have been in the darkest depths of our writing cave this week, but we're happy to report that we're winding things down in order to enjoy the holidays with our family. Today feels a little like a big gulp of air as we come out of hibernation. Maybe you could tell on the podcast today -- we are delirious! It's much easier these days writing words than it is speaking them. So we're excited for this little break before we get back into gear.

If you haven't seen the cover reveal for the Eternal Ember's edition of Charming Like Us  in their MM Box, you should definitely check it out! It's soooo freaking cute.  We're quite literally obsessed 😍🌞 The paperbacks are foiled/spot gloss hand-signed with exclusive interior designs, and 10% of the profits are donated to the Audre Lorde Project.

In Patreon world, we officially started up Teaser Tuesdays! So in case you missed it, here's everything that went down:

cass (ben’s version)

i am literally kicking and squealing i am so happy to know y’all liked my seating chart video!!! i would LOVE an extra post on the seating chart for the most recent christmas. after i had first posted it, people brought up that they all probably wouldn’t be riding together and that those in the penthouse and hell’s kitchen would be separated differently. this is definitely something that keeps me up because i absolutely didn’t think about it, i had just assumed they’d all go home and head out from one place. ugh i literally think about it so often. anyway anyway, it made my day to hear you talk about it on the podcast 🫶🫶🫶

Andrea

KINNEY HALE POV AHHH

Brianna

*UNLUCKY LIKE US SPOILER* luna so I could help get her memory back and I love her, shes my alien queen

Jess

Moffy hands down. I identify with his mindset so hardcore.

🩰

Eliot Tom Luna because their definitely up to something and if not them then Audrey so we can talk romance

Andrea

I’d bunk with the Girl Squad. They’re probably so fun 😭

cass (ben’s version)

ben for sure because he’s the easiest to get along with and he’s so welcoming (…and he’s my fav of course). if not ben, then probably the troublemakers. i love to laugh and i just know i wouldn’t stop laughing with them!

Nicole

Oscar because snacks!

Rachel

Hyped!

Teresa

Beckett since he's the most cleanest and tidiest. Ladies iam looking forward to the pinterest boards for NLU I've seen some updates lately and I hope you keep them coming. I don't know if you watched this show before but I loved it years ago , it's called Dance Academy (highschool students dancing ballet), then once the show finishes there's a movie, you guys might like it. You can watch all the episodes on Youtube. Are there any new pinterest boards for characters you haven't released yet that you plan to before Nobody releases.

Bella Stanley

Hmm maybe Tom. Eliot and Luna too if they’re in the same room (or they’d end up coming over anyways), but I feel like they are more active pranksters and would definitely be up to something while Tom might work on his music late at night. I’d read or watch tv. And we could talk too. I think for my personal routine (up mid morning and awake til’ 3 or 4 am) me and Tom would mesh the best.

booky

The girl squad . I feel like they'd make the holidays even more interesting

Sarah

I guess Eliot. He seems funny. If not him maybe Oscar. He’s funny too.

Arrow

I would room with Kinney! & we would watch Happiest Season & gush over Kristen Stewart

❥ Cait (The Carraway’s #1 fan)

Hello !! I would share with Eliot (I love him 🫶🏻). I hope you guys have a Merry Christmas and find time to relax this holiday season !! 🩷🎄🎁 So excited for all the bonus content coming up and all the new releases in 2024!! ☺️

Angelina (Charlies version) ♟️

Can I pick all of them? 🤣 okay if I had to pick Luna or Xander or Donnelly or the girl squad 🤣 Have the best christmas guys! Thank you soo much for all the amazing content and ULU this year ur my fav authors 🥹💗!

Dasha

Maybe I’m late with this question but i really want to ask! Will we have a chance to read a bonus scene “Rose spends the night at Connor’s Philly Apartment”? I found this title on your facebook group but the scene was deleted and it’s like a Christmas present for me to read this! If there is a chance to republish it i’d be the happiest person in the world 🧚🏻‍♀️

Lauren Gibbs

I'm definitely bunking with the girl squad! I love shenanigans! 😍

shi luvs st.cobalt

I would choose to room with Charlie! I get easily overwhelmed during the holiday season & I would want to room with someone that would just let me be after a long day (I think he would be content with each of us doing our own things, which i’m a big fan of). —— This is a bit off topic, but I was wondering if you have heard of the movie Saltburn that was just released on Prime (👀)? It was released in some theaters back in November, but it wasn’t playing at any of the ones in my area, so I was eagerly awaiting its Prime release & it did not disappoint (imo)! It does seem to be a bit of a divisive movie though, so it’s been interesting seeing all of the different reactions + thoughts that people have had about it! —— I also hope that you both have a wonderful holiday celebration these next couple of days! 🎄🤎

Rachel

I’m going to assume the bunk beds are big and pick Sulli, Luna, and Jane. Hell, I’d throw Moffy in there as well! That way I can listen to all of them gush about their relationships and significant others. I wanna hear 1st hand about their sexy bodyguard husbands/boyfriends, including the good, the bad, and the things they do that drive their spouse’s crazy haha. First, I’d have to get them to agree to sleep in my room instead of with their partners 🤔

Lucia

I would share with Tom!! He seems like a really fun time and I would try to get to know him better. I feel like we as readers have very little info about him

Sioned

….this is so apt because I’m actually sharing a bunk with my younger brother over Christmas! I think the conversations can be good but he still makes me turn the light off when I’m reading 😭 I’d probably have to decline on sharing a bunk with anyone unless we had some sort of secret romance going on 🤭😘 I wouldn’t mind having to share a room but bunking is a whole other level of torture lol xx

Sioned

I could see myself bunking with luna though 🥳 our rooms have similarities and I LOVE salt lamps too much

shi luvs st.cobalt

I also think that they would enjoy it! :) (I **am** saying that because I loved Saltburn and am being a bit biased lol 😂.)

Illyana

Good morning ladies! I hope you had a very merry christmas. I sure did, even though i had a very ad hoc fever and a sinus congestion! IDK very odd. Anyway, And you got me thinking! If I were to roomate with someone, assuming he was over 18 so it wouldn't be weird, I would def room with Xander! I so would love to just be FRIENDS with him! That way we can talk fantasy novels! hehe. I am currently reading my way through Mistborn Era 2 which would be so fun to buddy read with! Or heck, I would buddy read the Silmarillion with him (which is not necessarily my jam) or binge watch LOTR! It would be a very, fun christmas. I would of course want to spend as much time with Moffy and Farrow, but I wouldn't want to room with either of them bc i want them to room with each other hahah. Who would you want to hang and room with this christmas? :D But a lot of funny instances happened these couple days! As you can imagine, as I laid sick, I obviously read my comfort reads :'). I have been in a Kitsulleti era these past 2 months and just adore her dynamic with those two boys. And Just Sulli's competitive Aquarius vibe! I love it. I am starting to feel anxiety that the Like Us series is coming to a close, and i feel the end nearer than ever, but while I feel anxious I am also so excited for the new stories that will come with the Cobalt era. I also have been watching Survivor as I was sick! Which is funny, to be dead in bed comatose, and watch these people fight for their lives being active running around on the island haha. Your Guide has been VERY helpful I can't thank you enough. After Survivor I plan on binge watching Big Brother! And I wanted to ask if you had a guide for Big Brother as well? What series did you start watching? And there are so many variants of Big Brother, I'm assuming you only watched the american one? And finally, as I was watching Survivor, my TV broke! Like it kept switching off! And unfortunately it after christmas so I couldn't slip in the family request of a new tv for christmas (that would be too much i think hahah) so I have to in 2024 invest in a new TV! So, as i did for Comic E-Readers, I always ask my favourite girls if you have any recs or guidance on which tv to get or which ones you use and rec! I only have a tv for now in the bedroom but i may think of getting one in my living room once I found the right one and just change the whole thing up. Do you guys have a no tv bedroom policy? Or do you follow Moffy and Farrow's suit? hahah. And now all this tv talk has got me thinking on if i should get a sound system... again any recs? Ahhh, getting a bit too ahead of myself :D. I can't express how much i missed writing our lovely exchanges these past several months. Working at the Firm just drains my social battery out so much that I than have nothing left in my personal life to give! Which has to change in 2024. New years resolutions of 2024: 1) Get new TV(s) (lol) 2) Start Big Brother 3) Tune in to weekly Fizz hangouts and correspond! 4) Finish the Cosmere reading before the release of Stormlight 5 next December! In the spirit of that, Speak tomorrow during your next Fizz Hangout <3 <3 Hugs, Laura x

Illyana

That is SO FAIR! that was along the lines of my same thoughts but... I would love to share (under the pretext that he is of age) platonically as FRIENDS, bunk with Xander! It would be a christmas fest (or as we call it in the Realm of the Elderlings series, 'Winterfest' hehe) galore! And I'd love to chat about all things fantasy and binge watch LOTR! Super fun and wholesome! And I don't have enough irl friends who are into High Fantasy as myself :')

Sioned

Oh my gosh girlies 😭 you got me tearing up in the extra podcast! You both are the cutest and it’s so cool to sort of see everything expanding and that’s just amazing for you 🥳 You’ve also said to give feedback on the podcasts because you’re using new tec. I don’t know if it’s just me but it was quite quiet and glitchy for me :( like sort of muffled and distant xx

Teresa

Ladies iam curious who gets custody of Mr. Frodo or will you be doing joint custody 🤔 ? Also do either of you watch Kdrama I've currently been going on a binge with a bunch of them on Netflix?

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Krista gets Mr. Frodo solely because he sees her as the mom but me as the sibling. It’s sad but I’m definitely going to visit! We don’t watch Kdramas as of right now.

Krista & Becca Ritchie

YAY!! Adding this to our list of "extras" for the new year! I am obsessed with your seating chart theories and that video!! I still smile so much thinking about it ~ B

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We'll definitely look it up! We might have seen that one, but I can't be sure until I check it out. We love, love, love watching any and all ballet documentaries and series!

Krista & Becca Ritchie

That particular bonus is in the back of the new Berkley Romance edition of THRIVE, so it's available to read (but only in that print edition) 💗

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Krista & I watched Saltburn together and LOVED it! We love that director so much, since she did Promising Young Woman, which was also incredible.

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We hope you're feeling better, Laura!! *hugs tight* I'd probably want to room with Luna or Sulli!! Even though Sulli is now with her hubbies, I still would want to bunk in her room! We've seen Big Brother UK which is more like a "celebrity" big brother, so the format feels different, and we've never seen Big Brother Canada, which some say is the best out there. For Big Brother US, I always suggest to start with season 6, since it's old school and really entertaining and you can only go up from there. Season 7 is an all-stars and so it really pays off to watch at the very least 6 beforehand. And Season 10 and 14 are also amazing seasons. Big Brother, you can definitely skip some seasons and it still makes sense. There are some super boring seasons that should prob be avoided. We just got a new Samsung and Sony TV last year on Black Friday. They're our first "smart" TVs, since we used FireStick/AppleTV before that. But we prefer the Sony since the layout of the home guide is just easier to navigate and looks more like an Apple TV. Our mom has a cute little Roku TV that I absolutely love, and they're a lot cheaper than other brands. I personally don't see much of a difference between QLED and OLED, so I would always default with the cheaper option bc it doesn't matter much to me. We haven't always had TVs in our bedrooms, just because we didn't have room for them. But when we moved during the pandemic out of Atlanta and into more of a suburb of Atlanta, our place was bigger bc we weren't in the city. So we could have TVs in the bedroom, which has been nice! Since we've always just had the one communal living room TV. It sometimes just feels cozy to watch TV in the bedroom, but it's also not something either of us use very often. So it's definitely not a necessity. We don't have a sound system! Strangely enough 😂 We've actually thought about buying one many times, but we just get overwhelmed trying to pick it out and realize we're good with what we have. Our parents have a sound system though and it's amazing, but when they were setting it up, it took forever and I have zero patience for stuff like that lol 😂😂😂 I love love chatting with you each week, Laura!! I hope your holidays have been magical and your new year brings you lots of joy and less stress *BIG HUGS AGAIN* xoxo B

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Ah I thought we replied to this, but maybe it didn't send. But thank you SO MUCH for the feedback for the podcast! It helps a lot. We're going to increase the volume on our mics for the next recording session, and let us know if it sounds any better *hugsss* xoxo
