#homecoming romance
Text
youtube
Seven-timer Kate Clayborn returns to the Fated Mates studio (lol, jk there is no studio) to talk about about going home again in romance and to celebrate the launch of her new book, Georgie All Along, which you can get this week wherever books are sold! We talk about all the ins and outs of homecoming romances, what sends characters back to the beginning, what readers expect from these books, why they hit so hard and in so many ways, and how this trope intersects with small town romance. All that, and Sarah’s brought an X,Y chart to class.
You can find links to all the books we talked about in show notes.

I think that MCR is so uniquely cathartic because they have hit an essential truth that so many artists get fundamentally wrong and that essential truth is that for optimism or hope to mean anything at all there has to FIRST be acknowledgement of suffering. Full acknowledgment. Acknowledgement of the complexity of that suffering, the shame of that suffering, the reality and the depth of that suffering. Acknowledgement of the very, very ugliest parts of that suffering. It has to be spoken. It has to be acknowledged. It has to be purged. Without that acknowledgement, the sentiment of “it will get better” is hollow and meaningless.

July 24th is National and International Private Investigator day!
About: Since Crimes of Passion II is currently releasing and our MC is a private detective, I thought this could be a great day to celebrate the book and our detectives with @choicesbookclub. However, mysteries are a part of many Choices stories, making our MCs and fave characters private detectives even if unofficially, so this event is now OPEN TO ALL CHOICES BOOKS and characters
How to Participate:
Shadows & Deceptions: A Royal Murder Mystery + Giveaway with @bayleedrawsx
This is a very open to interpretation event as long as your submission has something do with a mystery, being an investigator, solving a crime, and/or something of that nature it's perfect. You probably have better ideas than I do about how to use this event in your stories/worlds! (Some prompts/ideas to think about below)
* Just tag the blog and I'll share your work: @choicesmonthlychallenge.
* If you are creating for COP, you may also share with @choicesbookclub
I proposed a murder mystery crossover story [here]. In my head it was going to be short and more like a puzzle for you to solve—like, here is the setting, here are the characters, this is the crime, here are the suspects, and this is what happened. When I posted about it initially it was about 1,000 words total. It kind of turned into a full fan fic story at about 5,500 words. I still am posting it as part of the event, but I'll be doing it on my personal blog (@storyofmychoices) since the story and this event kind of got away from me. I still hope it's good and you'll enjoy it!
It will still be posted in smaller sections over the 4 days of this event to give people time to read and hypothesis what happened and who is responsible
Some ideas to get you started
As mentioned initially, there is still a GIVEAWAY!!! (since in my head the first person to solve the mystery would "win"!) @bayleedrawsx has agreed to assist with the giveaway but now you don't have to correctly solve the mystery (especially since the ending has a twist now), you just have to enjoy the ride. Any one who comments on or reblogs with a comment with their theories, thoughts, ideas, ect. will be entered in the giveaway. You can get 1 entry for each part of the story you interact with. (Likes and reblogs without comments do not count).
There will be 3 winners: 1 (one) winner will get a 2 character minimalist commission with Baylee and 2 (two) seperate winners will get a 1 character minimalst commission with Baylee.
create a dossier for one of your characters [Template Here]
create a business card, social media edit, advertisement for your detective (whether they are official or it's just a hobby)
create a detective/investigation fic, moodboard, edit, etc.
create a crossover event [some ideas here]
explore the every day mysteries your character might investigate (friend's secret crush/relationship, who ate the last cookie, trying to find the missing items (sock, shoes, pen, keys, glasses, etc), tracking down a secret recipe)
are any of your MCs, OCs, and/or LIs addicted to the Hallmark Movies and Mysteries channel? If so, what's their guilty pleasure?
did mysteries or detective stories play a role in your MCs / OCs lives when they were children (or later)? Did they ever play pretend? Did they have a favorite author?
create a newspaper/magazine edit/article about a mystery in your characters world and how it was solved (maybe it's a real case, or maybe it's a medical case, or something else)
find a detective/investigation/mystery story to use as a basis for @choicesprompts 's Rewrite Challenge
Guidelines
All creative work is accepted (writing, text fics, social media posts, moodboards, edits, art, songs, head canons, etc)
Use the read more/keep reading tool to prevent long posts
Please tag anything that is NSFW and/or triggering appropriately
Minors, please be responsible and DNI with posts labeled 18+/NSFW
You can combine your submission for this event with the Book Club if it is COP related and with any other events happening in the fandom.
have fun
be kind
This event is kind of a hot mess and I apologize! I really don't know what I thought I was doing lol
Got ideas, prompts, suggestions? Please LMK!
All thoughts and additions welcome!
#choices game#choices#playchoices#choices events#choices monthly challenge#choices book club#crimes of passion#the royal romance#open heart#most wanted#bloodbound#desire & decorum#murder at homecoming#the unexpected heiress#choices pi day#all books welcomed#just tagging a few that I can think of that have some kind of mystery and are still active in the fandom

Ok so I've recently been on a mission to read as much of the Choices catalog as possible since there are so many underrated books on there besides the boring smut ones. I think my last reading list is a lil outdated, inaccurate, and harder to find, so for my convenience I'm making a separate post.
My goal is to knock out the single books before starting the series for efficiency's sake, so most of the books on the priority list are single books
Priority
Kindred (CURRENTLY ON)
The Crown and the Flame (CURRENTLY ON)
Immortal Desires?? I've been curious about it for awhile
It Lives Beneath (ALREADY STARTED...)
A Billionaire's Baby (diamond mining)
Endless Summer (ALREADY STARTED...)
Murder at Homecoming
Secondary
Guinevere
With Every Heartbeat
Laws of Attraction Series
America's Most Eligible
Red Carpet Diaries
Rules of Engagement
Break Glass in Case of Emergency
The Royal Romance/The Royal Heir
The Freshmen Series
High School Story
Feel free to recommend more books that you feel like recommending!
Current MC & OC List
Jasmine Nefaletzi (Kindred)
Velaska Prescott (It Lives Beneath)
Natasha LeNoir (RCD)
Summer Reverie Layne (ES; OC)
Minerva Kallias (MAH)
Saoirse Lemoncello (TBB)
You can find the full list of my MCs and OCs on my pinned post!
Completed Books and Mini Opinions
The Elementalists: I LOVED this series it had flaws but it was super fun to play!! I love my powerful MC and my sarcastic twin, and I'm a sucker for elemental magic systems and magic centered schools imao
A Courtesan of Rome: AAAAAAAH WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT THIS BOOK BESIDES HOW AMAZING IT WAS!! I feel like this was a historic book that felt accurate y'know and ofc ACOR MC is literally *chef's kiss* just an absolute baddie we have no choice but to stan <3 she had all of Rome on her knees as she should!!
Crimes of Passion 1 and 2: I think objectively the original book was better but this one was more replayable/entertaining solely because of the Thorne siblings but i wish the mystery and the plot twist were handled better in Book 2 specifically
Bloodbound Series: UGH IT WAS INCREDIBLE!! It still had flaws and I would have added/rewritten things but it's definitely one of the best and most satisfying series PB has ever written
Ride or Die: IT WAS AMAZING A+ I'm so sad the sequel got canceled it deserved so much more :(
Nightbound: IT WAS PRETTY GOOD i miss them already and want a sequel now. It's very replayable which I always appreciate
#i'll be posting screenshots too so if you wanna be tagged for that stuff feel free to tell me!#mir's musings 💬#playchoices#kindred#a courtesan of rome#the crown and the flame#it lives beneath#a billionaire's baby#the elementalists#endless summer#murder at homecoming#guinevere#laws of attraction#red carpet diaries#rules of engagement#the royal romance#the royal heir#with every heartbeat#america’s most eligible#immortal desires#crimes of passion 2#crimes of passion#nightbound#bloodbound#ride or die#the freshman series#high school story
