I just posted two short chapters in Melted: One Shots. I had been planning to start these over the summer, but so many things happened with my job and new leadership that I spent most of my time adjusting and helping staff adjust to the coming and eventual changes.  Looking forward to talking to Melted community again. Need to get all of these out because I've got a new idea for another MaxTul fanfic, but I need to get these people out of my mind first.

Hi! Thank you for the new part on Melted One Shots… Melted has become my comfort go-to literature and I cannot thank you enough! I loved the way you write.. Thank you again!

            I have probably come back to read Melted page to page atleast 3 times over the last year so you have a fan here extremely interested in reading the back stories!! No pressure whatsoever.. will be waiting to read anything more you post!

@Gunj2951 Thank you for reading my story. I had a major job/career change over the last year with many new responsibilities and challenges, so I have not had time to write. It made me sad because I had several back stories I've been wanted to tell, but I was/am afraid no one will be interested anymore. It's nice to hear that someone still finds the Melted world interesting.

@Queer-human Thanks so much for reading my story. You read through it so quickly, so I can tell that you liked it. 
            I have a new position at work, so I have been very busy with little time or emotional space for writing unfortunately. I need to finish my Melted one-shots first. I also have the remnants of an idea for another MaxTul fic since I don't tink there are enough of those. 
            I never thought of doing a Bad Buddy one, but you know I love Ohm, so . . .

@jiandc07 sorry i'll start by stating im not good at remembering names,chapter number and all.it's hard to choose cause you have good ser of characters.id say the women mostly the mother figures khun baget,tul's mom,and the owner of the farm.i like both their set of friends too and pong.with a support system maxtul have especially max they were nurtured and guided to go to the good path and stay on it and improve themselves to be a better version of themselves.

@jiandc07 Thanks for reading! I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was quite a ride while writing it and reading all the comments. I didlose some readers in the beginning who were just in it for MaxTul and got mad at me that it wasn't just about them. However, one of my readers said that it was a love story but about all kinds of love, which I thought was more accurate. I was interested in them being friends first but also the love of friends, family, and found family. I love work team stories, too, and how no one is perfect but that there is space for that when there is love and respect.
            I'd like to know who your favorite characters are--besides Max and Tul of course:)

So, I finally finished sent off a printed copy of Melted to my soon-to-be 74-year old mother! She is enoying it. I talked to her early yesterday morning and she wanted to get all the "news" out of the way so we could talk about the book. She texted me at midnight last night because she just got to the  chapter where Max shows up in red suit. Let me quote: "Just finished reading aboutthe RED suit. Smoking. Hot. I had to fan myself!!" Hahaha.

@elocin1729 That work has been delayed because I have still been so busy with work. So busy that I've even had to delay my vacation! But I am taking vacation on July 11 because I've already bought my bus ticket with daughter for a couple of days in NYC! After that, I should be able to write. I'll be able to (hopefully) write every day for almost three weeks! Is there a character/plot about which you are especially interested to read? Hmm?

I’m so looking forward to a one shot. A friend and I bonded over BL, and Melted immediately came to mind.

@cereleanblu What I miss most is talking to everyone. Hoping to get end of fiscal year reports due soon and then I can start onMelted One shots. What character or character group do you want to learn more about?

No update this week. Budget season has started and I was a last minute trip leader this weekend, so not much else happened from that. Next week, I will have a 4-day weekend with time blocked off for budget work, but I'm also determined to finish Melted. 
          As some of you know, I will follow up Melted (after a break to revise it and make a hard copy to send to my mom!) with Melted: One Shots. This new (much much shorter) project will focus on one-shots about side characters and either backstories, side stories, or future stories. 
          Let me know if there is a character you want to know more about. I won't promise anything, but I'm curious to know what characters make people curious.

@trotwood2 can't wait to read it!

@Gunj2951 I was thinking of doing something about that. The background of how he met her and Tor--they met around the same time with Prin as their grad teaching assistant

@trotwood2 happy ones.. You wrote about Max's wonder about what kind of a person Tul was in the past to inspire Pim's unwavering support and love even after everything she went through because of his step mother. Maybe one shot around the reasons for that..

I thought you would enjoy this tea! It is super pretty, too. You do see the blossoms bloom in the water.

@MTsFlower Thanks! I have never had it. I'm liking the rose tea. First cup, I let steep for too  long, so it was bitter, but the next was perfect. It also smells lovely. It make me want to take a bath in it or get in in body lotion form!
