“Between Reel and Reality” is technically completed. The only thing left is the Epilogue. Please take the following anonymous survey if you’re a reader of the story.

          It asks about five questions. It should only take a few seconds or minutes, depending on how detailed you wish to be. The last two questions ask you if you wish to ask Cierre, Amel, or any other character a question. If you do, they will answer it after the Epilogue (which I’m aiming to upload next Saturday, possibly earlier, so don’t hesitate!). I also ask if you have any requests for any additional scenes or scenarios for “Between Reel and Reality.” If you do, then those requests may be answered and posted on Taylen’s Universe.

          If you read “Eternal Fantasies” and are not subscribed to Taylen’s Universe, you missed important news. I am no longer updating the story weekly. It is now updated “whenever I get the time.” It’s not discontinued, and I am working on the next chapter tomorrow. Updates will just be less frequent. It has nothing to do with y’all. I’m just trying to focus on my goals. I’ll be a published author sooner rather than later if I compartmentalize. Writing two books for free on Wattpad while trying to edit one for publishing off of Wattpad while writing short stories for Taylen's Universe ain’t cutting it. So, yeah, I apologize for any inconvenience, but I'm not a robot. I doubt y'all expect me to be one, but I expect myself to be one sometimes. lmfao. So, I'm basically putting myself in timeout and focusing on what's most important. Which is publishing a book to the world (not just Wattpad) since that's my dream.
          
          Thank you for your love and support. It means to world to me.

A new lesbian short story just dropped, only on Substack. If you're one of my active readers who's always in the loop, I'm so sorry I'm aggravating you with these notifications. Lmfao.
          
          "Faith and Fortune" is my favorite short story and, in my opinion, one of my best works. Here's a sample.
          -
          
          Jozzi, a struggling writer recently laid off from her “real” job, needs a win. She just might find one at a Juneteeth Pride party.
          
          Vibe: Humorous, cozy, uplifting, flirty
          
          Content Warnings: Explicit language, depictions of sex, brief mentions of depression
          
          Word Count: 5,898
          
          DJ Toppa’s voice crackles over the speakers, cutting through the rooftop’s pulsating beat. "This song is dedicated to the sista at the bar, shouting on the phone with her man!" he broadcasts. His statement echoes, mocking my predicament. The sun shines harder, its rays illuminating me. It’s a spotlight of shame, notifying everyone I’m the b-tch stinking up the queer function with my relationship issues. Atlanta’s humidity suffocates me more than ever. 
          
          DJ Toppa drops the beat to “FNF” by Glorilla while pointing at me. The aggressive harmony ambushes the dancery, inducing a mix of cheers and laughter.
          
          I’m not arguing with a man or a woman. On the other line is a non-binary, septum-pierced dreadlocked h-e named Jax, and they have me fucked up. While I down a shot of Hennessy, they continuously complain about my lack of respect for our “partnership.” Apparently, I didn’t read over the rulebook of our fling. Jax can have a h-e rotation bigger than an NFL team, but I must remain a saint in these streets.
          
          They’re doing a lot of rah-rah, and I haven’t even f-cked anyone else; yet.

          Once you do this, you can DM me: requests, opinions, thoughts, anything. (Wattpad is closing DMs so this would be the easiest way to reach me. And I barely check Wattpad DM’s anyway bc the interface is ugly lmfaoo. No shade Wattpad if you're reading )
          
          You can also participate in chats and receive more content once you properly subscribe.
          
          My first official Taylen’s Universe post will be later this week. I’m applying to actual real jobs rn, so my time has been thin. Posts will likely be in the format of review + short story. For example, when Kehlani drops her album, I will likely review it, and then write short stories for my favorite songs. So, yeah, that's what you can expect, all forms of my writing skills. Every part of Taylen. Taylen’s Universe.
          
          Thank you all for the support.
