Last month I tweeted that Rian Johnson changed my life. Although I’ve been prone to Rian Johnson-related dramatic hyperbole over the last three years, this time I was very serious.
I’m so excited to finally share that my book has found the perfect home at The Dial Press / Random House!
You all gave me the support and encouragement to write and share my stories…plus countless hours of entertainment and angst and anticipation for updates. I adore the amount of imagination and creativity that’s been poured into this fandom.
Some time in the next two years (yeah, traditional publication takes a long time), the book will come out. Physically. It will have a cover and my name and blurbs and some unfortunate audiobook narrator will have to read my faux-Chuck Tingle passages without laughing.
Best of all, I get to spend more time in this little universe that’s so personal to me. Especially after this hellish last year, it’s been like escaping into a time and place that I can revisit when I need comfort. Or a knish.
While I get my website set up, I’ve created a beautiful and temporary mailing list at https://www.kategoldbeck.pizza/slice. I’ll be sending out fun extras to folks who sign up.
Thank you so much to everyone who left kudos or comments! Fanfic is valid as fuck.
hi friends, i’ve noticed an uptick in requests for the Doing the Unstuck pdf/epub. if you want it, please DM me directly here or on twitter or instagram instead of asking the internet/another reader. i have a few disclaimers i like to share before sending *and* I have a slightly corrected copy.
one of the best things about fanfic is the ability to provide tags, CWs, and authors notes on a chapter-by-chapter basis. when i offered the pdf, it didn’t occur to me that people who hadn’t read the fic in 2018 would want it. the pdf i made was *only* the text of the story.
i haven’t read the fic in literal years but i’m pretty sure there’s stuff in there that hits differently in 2022 or that would benefit from some context or additional CWs. (this was also the first fic i ever wrote and i was still learning how to do…everything?)
i should add that the novel is substantially different from the fic. hopefully i can talk about that process someday. i’m confident that if you liked Doing the Unstuck, you’ll *love* the book. they are definitely two totally different reading experiences. ♀️
