《Wot you sayin'?》Pulling Their Legs
Advertisement
The whole cast of Strictly Come Dancing had been invited to the Pride of Britain awards. I found myself getting quite emotional at times, so Dianne and I walked towards the lift to go get some much needed drinks.
There were a few of us waiting for the lift and as we did so, I couldn't help but admire Dianne. She looked amazing. Gorgeous in fact. She looks beautiful anyway, but when she does her makeup, and styles her hair in a way she likes, she looks even more so. It's probably because she likes what she sees, it makes her feel more confident, so when that comes across, she radiates beauty. When I snapped out of my thoughts, I could see her give me the once over, actually, it looked like more than just a once over and I smirked at her.
"Like what you see?" I whispered straight into her ear.
"Definitely. You look hot in a suit and those glasses."
Just as our mouths were about to meet, Swanny and Oti made an appearance and interrupted our moment. The lift doors open and we all went in.
"Oh, hi guys," she said, not even phased by the looks we were giving each other. "Are you getting some drinks, Joe? And Dianne, of course," Oti asked, shrugging when she mentioned Dianne.
"Yeah, definitely. We need it after all that."
"Drinks are up on the third floor!" Swanny shouted from a corner and I saw Dianne press the number 4 button.
"What are you doing, you plonker?" Oti just broke down into a fit of laugher. "Swanny said third floor, not fourth! Press three."
Dianne kept pressing the number three button, but we still reached the fourth floor. Oti laughed again and attempted to wipe her eyes without smudging her mascara.

Finally we got to the third floor and Swanny, Oti, Dianne and I found a table near the door.
"First round's on me," Swanny said then took their preferences. Oti took out her phone, went onto a social media site and I saw her type out, "Remember that lift ride? Lmao @joe_sugg "4th floor?" Lmao love you two."
"That's so open for interpretation," I said. Swanny, bearing drinks, looked over at the post.
"Can you imagine all the fanfiction your Joanne fans are going to write?" Most of the cast of Strictly
"Are going to write? They're already writing naughty fanfics."
"Well done, Oti," Dianne said, holding out her hand. Oti took her hand, sending them both into a fit of laughter. "Give them more subjects to write," she managed to say through her laughter.
"You never know. Someone might write the truth."
"Or write something tame, like kissing in a lift," Dianne offered. I snorted.
"Look at the comments here," Swanny said, showing Dianne his phone. I looked at my phone.
"Well. We did come pretty close to kissing outside the lift," I admitted, giving Dianne a fond look. "Until we got interrupted."
"Yeah, and you were giving each other heart eyes." Swanny took Oti's hands and held them to his heart, exaggerating what we'd actually looked like.
"Stop!" Dianne said. "I can't breathe!" She actually couldn't.
"Maybe we should give them more fodder," Swanny suggested.
"No, don't go pulling their legs. They'll write what they want to write." Suddenly I remembered the press and I groaned. "Oh no. Imagine what the press are going to say now." I looked at Dianne and she'd calmed down a little. "Come on, my love. Let's leave these two so you can breathe again."
She took a deep breath and took my arm.

The Last Watcher
The Abyss Watchers. Once fully dedicated to hunting the Abyss, now cursed to fight their own members forever. One day though, while they are attacked by a mysterious warrior, a single Abyss Watcher is suddenly pulled through a tear in reality, transported to a new world. A world with a strange thing called a leveling system. Current update schedule: Tuesday 10:00 PM NZT Idea I had of an Abyss Watcher from Dark Souls 3 being transported into a LitRPG world. You don't have to know any of the lore from Dark Souls to understand this, however if you want to know more about the lore just google it or something, I can't stop you But it's not like it will be very useful in this story as I plan to not be focused on Dark Souls Lore. As a side note for those reading this while it is ongoing, I will occasionally go back to previous chapters and sometimes add certain elements to the skills and leveling. Not to worry though as I will tell you as to what I have edited in the authors notes, so be sure to pay attention to those when they appear as they may contain information required for continued understanding. Also, if you decide to drop this book then please leave a comment on the chapter you stopped on and tell me what made you stop.

Paternum: A Superhero Story
When Quinn finds an experimental superpower-granting costume in their parents’ attic, they didn’t expect to be drawn into a web of superhuman intrigue, but their discovery serves as the catalyst for that conspiracy to slowly unravel. At it’s heart, Paternum is an extended coming-of-age story for the main character as they become a superhero, in a world with more reasonable stakes and less powerful heroes than many superheroic worlds. Themes include what art means to different people, and what it means to be a patron, whether as a sponsor, a parent, or a supporter. I consider Paternum‘s primary influences to be the various versions of Spider-Man, J. C. McCrae’s own superhero story Worm, and Drew Hayes’ story SuperPowereds. I hope that fans of such stories can find something to enjoy in mine as well. Paternum is primarily hosted on my website (thevoidwrites.com) where it updates weekly in groups of scenes totalling approximately 2000 words. Here on Royal Road, it will update once daily with one scene at a time, but only after each act is completed on the home site - the next batch of updates is scheduled to begin on February 5th. There is a discord channel for discussion (discordapp.com/invite/QFMM6yA), and you can vote for Paternum on topwebfiction (topwebfiction.com/vote.php?for=paternum) as well. Finally, you can buy the first book of Paternum, The Swift Uplifting Rush, in a couple different ways - as an ebook through Amazon, or directly from me for a discounted price, or as a physical paperback from Amazon. Buying the book will give you access to Drawing Hands, an exclusive arc that won't ever be published on either my site or Royal Road.
