This is because&#8230; the last book in my sci-fi trilogy releases today! While I&#8217;ve written a number of other books under two pen names, this series is the number one series of my heart, and that&#8217;s because it incorporates so many elements of fandom I love. First and foremost is <em>Atlantis<\/em>, which should be apparent just by looking at the covers of the books.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lyssachiavari.com\/books\/the-iamos-trilogy\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-189\" src=\"http:\/\/fanfiction.noble-scarlet.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/SeriesSpread.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"188\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fanfiction.noble-scarlet.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/SeriesSpread.jpg 800w, https:\/\/fanfiction.noble-scarlet.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/SeriesSpread-300x113.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fanfiction.noble-scarlet.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/SeriesSpread-768x288.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But there are also elements of PGSM (particularly in the couple of Henry and Tamara, who are drawn a lot from my take on Zoisite and Minako in my PGSM fics), and a lot of <em>Final Fantasy X\/X-2<\/em> as well. You can hear about some of my fandom inspiration for the series on this episode of the Jewel Riders Archive podcast I did last year alongside my sister, who also transitioned from writing fanfics to writing books:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none; min-width: min(100%, 430px);\" title=\"Episode 024 - From Cartoons to Careers with Lyssa Chiavari and Jane Watson\" src=\"https:\/\/www.podbean.com\/player-v2\/?from=embed&amp;i=qbymh-122acd8-pb&amp;square=1&amp;share=1&amp;download=1&amp;fonts=Arial&amp;skin=5&amp;font-color=&amp;rtl=0&amp;logo_link=&amp;btn-skin=13&amp;size=300\" width=\"100%\" height=\"300\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-name=\"pb-iframe-player\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Maybe I can&#8217;t manage to finish one measly PGSM fanfic, but I\u00a0<em>did<\/em> manage to finish a three-book-plus-one-novella series that spans 1500 pages, and I&#8217;m darn proud of it!

Maybe 2024 will be the year I go back and finish some fanfics! It will be (oh god) the\u00a0<em>twentieth<\/em> anniversary of the first publication of &#8220;Guardians of the Earth and the Moon&#8221; next year (the 20th anniversary of the show&#8217;s debut was a couple weeks ago!
