Wattpad notified me that BTS Imagines and BTS Imagines 3 are now text-to-speech!!! I’ve been waiting for this because only book 2 was text-to-speech, which idk why it was like that, but now all three are available to listen to!

If y’all thought my Hongjoong D&D imagine “A Quest For Love” from June was big (nearly 14K words) then you’re NOT ready for the Seonghwa imagine I just finished a few minutes ago. I hope you guys like imagines that might as well be a mini fic lol because that’s what you’re getting! 
          (a spoiler for it will be going up on my Instagram tomorrow)

BTS REWRITES! For the few of you that are reading BTS Imagines, the new versions of the Hogwarts AU series have been reposted! 
          
          I’ve also been considering updating book covers. Not only for BTS Imagines but ATEEZ as well. BTS Imagines has only had one other cover and ATEEZ imagines has been the same since I started the book. With these new rewrites I’ve been thinking maybe the covers need a refresh! That is, if I can come up with a new design haha. What do you guys think? Opinions are greatly appreciated!

Ateez was… INSANE. I was in section 207 in the second row and I couldn’t believe the view! I got SO many videos because I didn’t wanna forget half the concert but I also watched them on the stage bc I watch them through a screen all the time and wanted to SEE them and live in the moment. I think it took an hour for me to process that I was in the same room as them and that I was actually SEEING them. One of the first things I said to my friend and my sister was “THEY’RE REAL!!” bc I just couldn’t believe it. And it was my sister’s first concert ever and I saw this look of disbelief on her face when Ateez came out. It was just a really good experience for everyone that went and I feel so lucky to have been able to go.
          I cried hard during Turbulence bc I’ve been an Atiny since November 17, 2018. I was a fan when no one knew who they were and I was recommending them to my Internet friends because I needed someone else to fangirl with besides my sister. I watched them gain popularity, go on their first world tour, then their second (which I backed out of bc I didn’t wanna get covid), then their third, and finally after nearly 6 years of being an Atiny… getting to attend their fourth world tour. During Turbulence it all hit me that I’ve supported them for so long, watched them grow and I was FINALLY getting to see them. Then I saw Mingi looking up at the upper levels where I was and the tears poured out after that. I could SEE how they all looked around the arena and took in everyone and every lightiny held up for them. Even though I was up in 207 I screamed my lungs out to try and show just a sliver of appreciation for them. It was an out of body experience and even though it was two days ago I’m still in shock. Idk if I’ll be lucky enough to see them again but I hope I am because those boys really know how to put on a show! I was honored to have them be my first Kpop concert and that’s how I wanted it to be

I’m seeing Ateez tomorrow (holy moly I cannot believe it??!) and I just posted a chapter because I want you guys to say hi to me if you see me tomorrow :3
          I didn’t show my full outfit in the chapter because of the whole thing with pics on Wattpad going to Pinterest BUT I do have a post of my outfit on my Tumblr and I’ll be posting outfit pics on my Instagram story tomorrow! (Insta is lilacmingi)
          ANYWAY this is really unlikely but if any of you are in Duluth for the show I’d be really happy if you came and said hi!! <3

NEW BACKGROUND COVER PHOTO TO SHOWCASE MY POOKIES <3

Friendly reminder that my bio says “Don’t self promote pls it’s annoying”
          Had someone link one of their fics on my profile yesterday and deleted it right away. DON’T do that. You come to my account, you see my follower count and decide to promote your book. It’s disrespectful and annoying (as stated in my bio if you read it) 
          I get that you want more readers, but don’t do it on my account. That’s like someone on Instagram posting fanfic or music and someone hops in the comments and says “Hey guys I write (this) too please check it out!” or “I made music exactly like this. Listen to my stuff!” It’s just rude in my opinion. 
          The only books I promote on my account are ones I’ve added to my “Lila’s Recommendations” reading list. Rarely will I make a post about a book unless I REALLY wanna recommend it.
          
          Self promo = deleted as soon as I see it

This should go without saying but DO NOT use my edits for a chatbot cover!! A reader reached out to me via Instagram earlier today and sent me a screenshot showing that someone was using my Yunho vampire edit as a cover for a chatbot on an app called “Chai” my watermark was visible except for the L at the beginning, but THAT IS NOT OKAY!! It says very plainly in those chapters “Do not steal or repost my edits” and using them as a cover for a chatbot without my knowledge IS stealing and reposting!!
          I know people use fanarts and edits made by other their people for their chatbot covers all the time (usually without credit) and that is NOT okay! The least you can do is credit the person who made the image you’re using…
          
          If you want to use one of my edits for a chatbot cover ASK ME. And if I say yes then CREDIT ME in the character description and make sure the full watermark is visible on the photo. Smh… now if I make any more edits I’m gonna have to make the watermark really big and ugly and ruin the aesthetic because people don’t know common courtesy 

DMs are officially gone so if anyone ever needs to contact me privately, you can do so on my Instagram and Tumblr. My username is lilacmingi, same as it is here (socials are in my bio if you ever need a reminder)
