Eeeeeeek it's finally here!! It's not the Henrik fic I begged for, but ROBERTO!!!! BEA IS WRITING ROBERTO!!!! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!
Roberto stans, don't miss this. Everyone else, do yourselves a favour and check this out (and Bea's other fics, which are in the same universe as this one)!
Roberto/OC Enemies-to-Lovers
Chapter 1
Read on Ao3
Summary:
Louise cares too much about everything, and the only thing Roberto cares about is his career.
Neither is strictly true, but that's how everyone sees them.
Including each other.
—--
Just when Louise thinks everyone’s moving on and leaving her behind, she’s handed the golden opportunity to fix everything by planning her best friend’s hen do.
At least, that’s the idea, anyway.
One week of sun, sea, cocktails, clubbing, and… the world’s most arrogant pilot.

ACW is my favorite fic! Its gonna be worth the wait!
omg?!?! 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
Thanks so much, anon! I'm getting very close to finishing W&W, and I also have a oneshot I've been working on for ages for another fandom that I want to focus on finishing, but then I'm coming back to ACW!! I'm looking forward to getting back to it, there's some fun stuff coming up!

20 questions for fic writers
Thanks for the tag, @rebelrayne!
How many works do you have on ao3?
I've got 40 which is still wild to me
What's your total ao3 word count?
970,161 - I'm inching closer to the million word mark (and have the remaining 30k needed in my drafts just waiting to be published)
What fandoms do you write for?
Love Island the Game, and I'm working on my first oneshot for the Romance Club fandom (Song of the Crimson Nile)
Top five fics by kudos:
Whiskey & Scotch (it'll never be surpassed)
it's just a crush
Amelia Can't Win (the S6 effect, I still can't believe this one is top 3 already ahead of a few of my other chaptered fics)
not the only one
Convince Me (the only oneshot in my top 5, the effect of writing a smutty oneshot while season it's about is still ongoing)
Do you respond to comments?
Absolutely!
What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
I have a few contenders here but I'm gonna go with anatomy of a heartbreak. it's literally in the title, so you were warned
What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
erm, most of them? some of them even end with a happy ending, if you know what I mean 😏
Serious answer though, probably it's just a crush, because not only did it end the misery I put my readers through (it's a slow, slow, slow burn, folks), but I think it's the only one of my fics that ends with a proposal (I think. I've written 40 of them, you can't expect me to remember them all, can you?)
Do you get hate on fics?
Yep, every time @mrsbsmooth reads one of my unfinished drafts and gets mad that it's not finished yet /j
But actually, surprisingly, no. Either I'm not relevant enough for the haters to notice me, or everyone's scared of me.
That or I don't write anything controversial enough to warrant strong opinions 🙃
Do you write smut?
Yes, although I hate myself every time because I suck at metaphors and pretty words and all the stuff that really elevates other writers' smut
Craziest crossover:
When the Dead Come Knocking is LITG x The Walking Dead
Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I'm aware of, but I'd probably be more flattered than anything (nah probably not, I'd come after you with guns blazing)
Have you ever had a fic translated?
Nope
Have you ever co-written a fic before?
*sigh* I started a collab on a oneshot before but my cowriter ghosted the fandom. It was a Kassam x Felix undercover spy ETL with Chelsea as a crime boss and it would have been hilarious
All time favourite ship?
I mean, obviously Henrik/me. I mean, Henrik/MC. But if we're talking 2 LITG characters, then Henrik/Lucas is OTP
What's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
Technically this is not applicable - I have every intention of finishing my 3 active WIPs (Whiskey & Wildflowers, Amelia Can't Win, and Luc & Hen's Sexcellent Kinkventure), and I prefer not to start new chaptered fics until I finish other ones (which often means my fics are in the idea stage for literally years before I even start writing them).
That said, I have a few chaptered fic ideas in various stages of production that I'm not sure I'll end up writing. idk if those count as WIPs (one of them is half-outlined and I've jotted down a few paragraphs, but I have to rework it)
What are your writing strengths?
Honestly, I'm not entirely sure. I've been told I'm good at pacing, and I've been told I'm good at angst - but what strengths make me good at those things are, I don't really know.
Oh, wait. Spelling, grammar, and punctuation. I rock at those.
What are your writing weaknesses?
Dialogue, for one. My biggest struggle in all of my fics (and what I find extremely daunting when starting something new) is dialogue. I never know what my characters should talk about when it's not distinctly plot-related, especially group scenes. Some people are so good at writing fresh dialogue that just breathes so much life into the characters and displays their personality and keeps the reader engaged, and that's something I'd love to do better (both in fics and in real life, tbh - I'm a wallflower)
Secondly, character development. I've literally written over 500k words for one of my OCs, yet I hardly know who she is outside of the villa. I know her struggles and much of her backstory, but I don't know what her hobbies are, what gets her up in the morning, what she likes to eat, what she listens to, etc. I think this also plays a part in my dialogue struggles - it's hard to write characters if I don't know them
Third, and related to number two, is character arcs/relationship arcs. Sure, I can come up with a storyline and write it in such a way that it's enjoyable. But what makes a story extra compelling is the character arcs, watching the characters grow and learn things about themselves and seeing how that meshes with another character and their flaws/strengths and it all comes together like puzzle pieces. I'm not good at that, but I want to be
tl;dr - my biggest weakness is that I'm not Emily Henry
Thoughts on dialogue in another language?
My favourite love interests are Swedish and Portuguese 🤣 and yes, I love having them slip into their native tongues every once in awhile, or use terms of endearments, etc. I try to be as accurate as possible and give the readers a glossary (though sometimes I'm lazy with that), but it's also usually just little things that you can kind of tell what they're saying from the context
First fandom you wrote in?
Love Island the Game. Other than RC, it might be my last, too
Favourite fic you've written?
I hate this question 🤣 I have 40 fics and I love them all in their own way. It's like asking someone to pick their favourite child

Hello, I've got a question. Are you able to provide all Hazel's files? I normally do it myself, but the files keep corrupting for some reason. Thank you in advance!
Hey, anon! If you send me a DM, I'd be happy to share a link to my folder!
This goes for anyone, btw - I'd rather not post the links on main but will send them to anyone who DMs.

Felicity's assets are under the cut
sorry to be a bother but are felicity's (new casa girl) assets in the game files by any chance? ❤️
Hi anon, the new volume isn't even out yet for everyone and I have no way of knowing if I would be able to access the new assets yet.
Please be patient with new weekly content as I do have to go through quite the process even just to get into the game to download the files, so I'm not doing it every week. I was planning to get the heart rate challenge costumes anyway, but this isn't a priority for me.

@operationnope shared this picrew a couple days ago and I thought it was so cute!
I have a lot of couples, but I'm getting close to finishing W&W so I figured I'd share Henrik and Josie!
And then of course, if you give me the option to do m/m anything I have to do Lurik!
Henrik has a braid in both pictures because a) the only other half-up bun option didn't work with long hair, and b) I hc that he loves it when people braid his hair, so he would absolutely rock this style
I'd love to see more people's couples!

Whats making you smile the most right now?
🥹Thanks anon, this is sweet!
I have a few things!
Emily Henry's newest book "Funny Story" just released today and I took a few minutes in the middle of my work day to read the first chapter and was already screaming and crying at how engaging it is. I'm so excited to learn more about these characters and watch them fall in love and get over whatever hurdles she throws their way
Last night I finished writing an 11k+ word chapter for W&W. It's by far my longest chapter ever and I just love some of what I wrote and I think the readers are going to enjoy it! But mostly it's 1 step closer to finishing the story - I have only 2 chapters left to write!
The NHL playoffs are happening and my team won their game last night 🎉

Chapter 1: Welcome to Paradise
The first guy is absolutely ripped, muscles gleaming in the sun as he casually stretches to show off his arms. Fuck, he could push her up the wall and utterly demolish her without even breaking a sweat. Just the image of him fucking her senseless has an ache building between her thighs, her lips parting on instinct. That will have to be explored later.
Her eyes travel slowly up the body of the second man: sculpted calves, a firm ass that’s begging her to get her hands on it, mismatched tattoos rippling across the expanse of his back with the slightest movement. Fiery red hair looks completely out of place in the tropical atmosphere, his pale skin and freckles asking for a sunburn, but god, she wants to kiss every last one of those freckles.
Only question is… which one first?
Read on AO3.

Hey Sarah ! You posted the S8 Islanders' names leaks and I wanted to ask you if Logan still appeared on that list after they replaced Shannon's name with Sienna.
Hey, anon! I can confirm that Logan is indeed still on the list. Idk if he's gonna be an LI or a locked character like Toby, but definitely expect him to come in!
There's also someone named Tiffany who wasn't on the original list but she showed up at the same time as Sienna, so maybe we can expect 2 bombshells?
I also noticed that Bella's assets are now listed with S8 and idk if that means anything or if someone is just messing with me. Finale host???

Thank you for digging for the sounds and pictures and things.
Are you playing this season? Who do you like?
Happy to do it, anon!
I'm not playing S8, although I'm glad people are enjoying the LIs! I deleted the app after S7 because I was just sick of the limited branching, merged personalities, clear signs of AI, etc. I said before the season that S8 would have to blow people away for me to be interested, and while it does appear to be much better than S7, I don't think it has what I'm looking for.
Heck, half the reason I played S6 was because I saw the Roberto and Marshall sprite leaks and wanted them so bad. The sprite reveals for S8 were an improvement over S7, but none of the characters really do it for me based on looks.
I'm happy to keep pulling assets, I just don't go in as regularly to download the new stuff because with no leaks, there's really no point.
Thanks so much for the ask! 💕

W&W Ch. 29
Summary:
When social media influencer Josie Hamilton is scouted for Love Island, she jumps at the chance. She’s not looking for love or commitment, but she’d be crazy to turn down the opportunity and the added exposure it’ll bring her. Even if she doesn’t win it all, she can turn the experience into a greater following and lucrative sponsorships.
She just needs to couple up with someone long enough to win the hearts of the public and get to the final.
Feelings are optional… right?
