I posted a small update to the podcast feed 👀 My hope is to start season 3 in mid or late October. I'm currently in the middle of shaping it and will start writing episode 1 soon, so I think October should be doable. I'll let you know an exact date in a few weeks.

A collage with a dark greyish-blue background, in the middle is text, around it are stickers and keychains of various characters with the cover for A Blazing Bond by Audrey Martin. The text in the middle reads: "An Update - Season 3, the novelization of season 2, and a patreon revamp"

I'm sorry I've been radio silent for quite a while now, so here's a bit of an update on what I've been working on. As you may know, when season 1 finished, I released it as a book. That book has now been translated to German (it's called Ein glühender Glaube, for anyone curious).

At the end of season two there are two terrible, horrible women who interact for less than five minutes and I feel like creating my own terrible, horrible rarepair. One of those ships that would make absolutely no sense in canon but are so delicious in fanfics.

What I really like about the audio format is those moments where I can write a conversation going on in the background while something else happens in the foreground. Will anyone ever be able to hear that conversation? No, that's for me and my transcript readers. A little treat for the both of us.
