DISCLAIMER: I’d also just like to mention that while I keep the outline or basic phrasing of the “TASK GUIDE” the same, details get changed up and adjusted, added or removed for each task. So I advise everyone to read through them, even if they sound like a repeat of last round at first.

hi laura!! 
          i hope you’ve been well~ i just wanted to leave a note here and see how you’ve been doing! i remember you’ve gotten busy over the time i’ve known you, and i hope you’ve been enjoying life. you were always such a bright light and support to me—an absolute sweetheart. how have you been?? i hope you’ve been happy and healthy, spending days with joy and good food~ if life hasn’t been at its fullest, i’m always wishing you the best! <3

Lauren, oh my— ♡(˃͈ ˂͈ )
            It’s so nice to hear from you — this honestly made my whole day! I really hope you’ve been doing well. Thank you so much for thinking of me and taking the time to stop by; it means a lot!  
            
            Life’s been incredibly busy on my end. I started studying abroad last October and for a while I was juggling three jobs just to make it all work financially. I had to scale that back to two now tho, but my days still mostly consist of working, trying to keep up (or catch up) with classes + scripts, as well as ambassador responsibilities — and occasionally even getting some sleep (barely, haha). I haven’t been on Wattpad (or done anything creative, really) in months. I genuinely miss socializing, designing and just all of it, but I just haven’t found a way to fit it in. (╥﹏╥) 
            
            I’m so sorry I haven’t been able to catch up with TSD like I originally planned. I was really excited for Part 2 and now I’ve even seen that Part 3 is already underway! It’s seriously inspiring and so impressive how much effort you put into your writing — I wonder how you manage all that, but more importantly I hope it brings you joy more often than not. You deserve all the appreciation, support and love for everything you’re doing. I promise I’ll join back in as soon as I get the first chance! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧
            
            But how have you been? How’s life treating you — aside from working so hard on your writing, of course?

Um..I am a new cover maker . Umm....but my problem is I make covers on a tablet and I love your covers . I am not here to promote but can u tell some apps which I can use . Like I have 
          Pinterest, picsart , phonto , canva . But can you tell any app? I still miss?

eggyeuls

@DEVILILOV so sorry, I missed out on this follow-up question. I use procreate on my iPad and formerly also had a Photoshop/Adobe subscription for my MacBook. But since I haven’t had time to do much creative work for a while now, I canceled my Photoshop/Adobe subscription for now.

Please do have CLOSED on your book cover shop thing or people will keep requesting covers.

eggyeuls

Thank you for your input on this — I truly appreciate to hear another perspective on this matter. However, I must respectfully disagree with the suggestion. In my experience so far with my shops and requesters, I've found that I consistently provide clear information in multiple places regarding whether my services are open or closed, as well as details about what the services consist of. I believe that taking a moment to read through this information, even if just the book descriptions, is a reasonable expectation I’m allowed to have for anyone looking to work with me. It demonstrates a mutual respect for each other's work and efforts, which is important to me.

gladysdarkheir

I don’t think I saw it. What I mean is add it next to title itself so people know clearly that you’re looking for requests now.

As I just tried explaining to you in a reply to your comment, the status of the shop is clearly communicated in the book description and request chapter, for anyone interested in reading through it. Thank you!

ᯓ✦  QUICK NOTICE! 
          
          Dear aMoC-Participants,
          
          I hope this message finds you well.
          
          I‘d like to inform you all that I unfortunately have to extend the judging period by a few days. A lot has being going on this past week and on top of that I just caught a bad cold. I had hoped that giving up one of the two „judging“ weeks as an extension for you to complete your entries, instead of pushing the entire schedule would work out just fine, but I guess I overestimated myself there — I’m so sorry for causing these troubles now! 
          
          I will finish up all the reviews and reorganization of the project (in terms of teams, upcoming rounds etc. after the withdrawals) by October 25th latest and update the calendar visuals as soon as possible! 
          
          So sorry for the delay, but I promise to catch up quickly. Thank you! 
          
          as per usual: stay safe and healthy everyone <3

In hindsight of recent news I’ve come to remember where my Wattpad journey started and how I ended up at where I am in life right now. How I wouldn’t have met most of my closest friends; wouldn’t have shaped myself into who I am through certain hobbies, career choices and all that; wouldn’t have had the chance to create “eggyeuls” and all that it stands for nowadays, all the doors it opened up for me; might not even be here all together — if it weren’t for little me, from over a decade ago, whose entire world was a Boyband called “One Direction”. 
          
          I’m more than aware of the recent discourse around Liam Payne and I still stand by any victims coming forward with their experiences. I stand for everyone’s right to speak up and be heard — and simultaneously I don’t support any plain bullying-for-entertainment. This situation really shows how we never learn from anything, it highlights how so many of us lack basic compassion and understanding for there being a time and a place for everything. 
          
          I personally think you can acknowledge the absolute tragedy of a human being placed into such extreme spotlight at a way too young age, breaking under the immense pressure, dealing with severe (mental) health and substance struggles — while simultaneously acknowledging that (allegedly or not) people have been hurt and that he has caused harm to himself and others in one way or another. One does not erase the other and both can exist at the same time. 
          
          —
          
          (Part 1, to be continued in the comments)

(Part 2) 
            —
            
            Victim blaming, pointing fingers at anyone, speculating whether this was an accident or not and joking about the situation in ways that are beyond disgusting is not the way to go. Right now the focus should be on acknowledging the hardships that his loved ones (and anyone else affected!) are going through right now — not just because of the event itself and the grief it comes with, but also with how it’s being treated online. At the end of the day Liam Payne was also someone’s friend and family member. A little 7 years old boy just lost his father. 
            
            With all that said, you are allowed to have conflicting feelings and opinions about this. You are allowed to acknowledge the serious and sensitive discourse while simultaneously grieving the loss. I personally am not grieving the Liam Payne that (allegedly) has harmed innocent people and has stood in beyond negative spotlight lately — but I’m grieving the Liam Payne that was a part of something that so strongly shaped my childhood and who I am now; the Liam Payne that was an important loved one to others and the Liam Payne that had potential to live a better life and be a better version of himself if he would’ve gotten whatever help he needed. 
            
            My thoughts are with anyone and everyone grieving with this loss. Liam Payne, may you rest in peace now.

Hey Laura! I'm your fellow Ambassador and it's so great to talk to you. Your graphic designs are to die for! Hope you've been well? I wanted to drop by and thank you for being so supportive to everyone on Wattpad!
          
          And on that altruistic note, would you be willing to help me with my academic research survey? I need diverse opinions on the Representation of the Indian Queer community on Wattpad and I'm sure your voice will add incredible value to my research. Or if you know anyone who might be interested in helping, that would be great as well. 
          
          It'll only take 5-7 minutes to complete the survey. 
          
          Your responses are completely confidential and won't be shared with anyone. Your consent is critical as well.

Hey Gauravaaditya! It’s so lovely of you to reach out ti me about this and I feel beyond honored, thank you, for all the sweet words as well! I would love to help finding people to support you and your academic research survey, so if it’s fine with you, I’d bring it up with some friends who might have much more insight and understanding on this? How would they be able to get in touch with you — just pop up on your message board perhaps? (:

ᯓ✦ URGENT NOTICE! 
          
          Dear aMoC-Participants,
          
          I understand that some of you may be considering withdrawing from the competition or have already come forward with the intent to do so. Please be assured that I respect your decision and will never force anyone to continue — no one should feel pressured to do so if they’re not comfortable or able to. However, I want to emphasize the impact that a withdrawal can have on your team partner.
          
          As you know, at least one of the upcoming rounds focuses on direct teamwork and features tailored scores based on those collaborative efforts. If you choose to step back, it's likely that your partner will also be unable to continue participating. Reassigning teams for those that have been left behind isn’t impossible, but I won’t make promises that I can’t ensure will be kept. It depends on how many participants are left over, as well as the narratives they’re working with. Regardless, tho especially with an uneven number of participants, unfairness is bound to become a real issue.
          
          Again, I won’t force anyone to continue if they’re unable to. However, I’d like to encourage you to consider the consequences for your team partner and to communicate with them before making a final decision. 
          
          If you have any concerns or need to talk it through, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m here to support you.
          
          Thank you for your understanding, and I appreciate your dedication to this competition!
