hey did y'all miss me

But for now, have fun!

Hey everyone! As life is slowing back down and I have more time to write, I realize that it would be the best to have a beta reader for my upcoming fic, "Its everything you ever want (Its everything you ever need)". If you aren't aware, it is my next big project of an ATLA, zukka-centric, Greatest Showman AU. I don't want to spoil too much, and I have no clue when I'll even have the first chapter done, nor do i really know how beta readers work... but I just thought I'd put that option out there for anyone interested. I will say this though, it is set in the mid-1800s (where it was set in the movie) but because this is the ATLA universe... I am a firm believer that they wouldn't appose gay rights AS much, so the ideologies are around 2014-2015/modern day, though the clothing, language, and culture is not. I have nine pages of hand-written notes and a shit-ton of non-sensical ideas but hey. Whatevs.

Shoot me a message if you're interested!
