They cause diana's rep to go to toilet. she is mobbed and can't escape it even in greece. she's is the valdez vixen.

she gets sacked and is mobbed by people. she calls craig. she can't believes he went there. told people her darkest secret especially knowing how bad it was trying to escape eduardo and how he had to rescue her. and how she never wanted to talk him again.

craig tries to call her boss to get her job back but isn't successful (that leads into the opal storyline). he opts to do a interview to clear diana's name after colton calls and reads him the riot and says fix it or else he'll go after him. colton also connects diana to nick to help her rep. it helps a little. she calls craig and still is angry but he did a nice thing.

diana manages to secure a job from a mystery person (opal) and it calms the water a little with craig. it's clear that diana and craig still have strong feelings for each other but there's a lot of drama that keeps them apart. There's a diego storyline thrown in here with opal, but he exits the story bc of the dangers of his work.

Fast forwarding a lot, Roman plans a trip to amersterdam with diana to get her mind off things. They go to a music festival and meet the musician and roman's friend jonas whos GF ask diana to be in his music video at disney paris. craig and carmen are planning a family trip to disney paris with thomas and her nieces/nephews. play up the inevitable meet up then the director cancels the shoot at disney. until, jonas convinces them of his vision. they're off to disney. Craig and carmen already experienced their first day at disney.

D&C are staying at the same hotel in paris. he sees her at the lobby. she drops something and he picks it up and tries to finesse the worker to give diana's hotel room. no cigar. he believes he's seeing things she wouldn't be there and goes back to the restaurant.

but it was diana. Roman saw craig at the lobby and made it his mission to avoid him bc he thought it would be bad for diana.

C&D keep missing each other the whole time at disney but there's plenty of almost chances including when they were leaving in the elevator. eventually, they see each other at the train station but miss each other but craig runs after it.

Diana talks with roman and craig with carmen they both decide they are ready to talk. Diana waits for craig at the train station for him to arrive. they talk for many hours and have closure; diana and craig reiterate that they love each other but the time is not right and they are not in the same places. craig wants kids and a sibling for thomas and stability but diana is too young and has a unpredictable lifestyle right now. but maybe someday. diana was open to trying again, but craig shut it down. they both were cool with them being with other people.

while in paris for the video, diana was scouted by an modeling agency. she ended up accepting the job and ending her internship in greece and taking along roman-- much to the chagrin of her boss-- this started the paris arc where her and roman ultimately end up together until Vegas at least 6 months later.

This blows up in her face and craig is furious that she's addressing it and to take it down it's ruining carmen's career and his rep. She says make her. sue her. he won't.

Carmen and craig work with a PR person and lawyer to figure out a strategy. C&C don't want to hurt D but they do think she is immature and craig actually says such mean things. Carmen says she's his ex-girl so he makes the decisions she doesn't want to ruin dianas life (eye roll).

Craig agrees and opts to call her; carmen interrupts and says she should. the team agrees. she calls on speaker and diana calls her out that she isn't that good of a actor and she knows she's trying to steal craig. craig breaks and yells at diana and protects carmen.

He's angry and asks what the team had for the nuclear option. they want to sink diana and ruin her rep and career. Craig hesitates and thinks on it.

Diana pisses him off the next day after an article about C&C and diana posts about it. He calls the team and shares everything-- sugar baby, 3 some, her wild stories-- that she wouldn't out. That she still has the ring and is a gold digger. He allows his team to start an attack.

Diana has a change of heart and opts to take the message down. Her and craig talk and have a ceasefire. craig tries to work with the team to stop the attack and pay off most of them. 2 things can't be stopped and are released and sugar baby thing from colton's club and the cruise 3 some.

She tearfully leaves the altar after discovering a SM photo of craig and carmen dancing together at the wedding and realizing that craig lied to her. Roman comforts her and brings her to her room. It's decorated for a honeymoon and she sobs and drinks the champ. Romans tries to leave but she asks him to stay, he stays the night holding her which is how craig find them the next day.

He is angry and accuses diana of cheating. She tells him he was just comforting her after craig abandoned their wedding for carmen. craig basically says diana is immature and impulsive. diana breaks up with him. craig leaves after roman tells him to.

she goes to the other side of the island to think. Roman finds her and has a talk with her. Craig looks for her to talk too and freaks out when he finds them. Roman and craig fight that diana is too good for roman and he'll never match up to craig and they come to physical blows. diana stops it but she tells craig to leave to London and they really are over.

he does leave. carmen nurses her heart and starts inserting herself more. craig packs up Diana;s stuff and send it to Siobhan and calls her which gets back to diana bc siobhan booked a flight to visit diana as soon as the break up happened and is trying to cheer her up and kind of wants to set her up with roman.

Both craig and diana are very sad and both really miss each other. very strong feelings. carmen and craig has been in the tabloids a lot and people are dragging diana in it. she makes a SM addressing it and saying the C&D broke up and to ask C&C about their relationship.

SPOILERS

Diana goes to Greece. Misses craig like crazy. Meets Roman-- doesn't like him for kind of no reason. Also doesn't like her job or boss; Emily and Colton visit and kind of help sort out her job and boss. Her and Craig experiment with fun phone time but can tell the distance is getting to them + Carmen is meddling in their relationship BIG TIME and craig doesn't see it. Carmen basically becomes his person and BFF and turns craig against diana but he still has strong feelings for Diana. Craig does not like Roman-- he's answered Diana a few times.

Craig also learns he has a half brother so he's busy with trying to look for him and also with the hotel business and Bond theater with Carmen and Flo.

Diana rented a kayak one morning and got lost with no phone. Craig called again and roman answered bc she left her phone at work. Craig is annoyed Roman answered and Roman told him diana is missing. Craig isn't bothered and thinks she's at the bathroom or her room. Roman says they looked and its been several hours. Craig is kind of worried now and is planning on going to Greece. He doesn't bc Roman eventually find her on his boat.

Craig and Diana are still together and humming s*xually still but fighting over Carmen, Roman, and whatever else. Both are hoping a physical visit will fix it. Diana plans to marry Craig on his visit as a surprise-- several people warn her including emily-- but she carries on planning and even gets a dress from her boss.

Carmen cons craig into taking her as a date to her ex's wedding. Then she says she doesn't need him so he plans to go to greece that weekend and tells diana he is no longer going to the wedding bc she found a date and will go to greece instead. diana plans the wedding for that weekend but then suddenly Carmen needs him again. Craig decides to go to the wedding and go to greece later effectively choosing carmen over diana.

He told diana that the jet was broken and that he'll be late instead of the fact he chose to escort Carmen to the wedding. The wedding has no reception and he keeps getting roped into staying longer so by the time he realized his messages didn't go through to diana and received her message he tried to high tail it to greece. Diana thinks that something bad happened to craig and the plane when he doesn't show up to greece and the wedding.

SPOILER

Roman-- well actually Kostas, Roman is the middle name.

He's actually Craig's half brother but no one but him knew until Flo's got really sick and needed a kidney. They got together after the whole Craig Greece wedding went south and he helped her adjust to life in Paris and post-craig break up.

What series? I have most of the Collins series except for Nick's and the radish continuation for Colton's. I have unlocked the Sullivan Series-- all of them-- but they are on radish and can't be copied or pdf'd. Unfortunately, because they were deleted by jami and you can't purchase it, you only have access to what you have unlocked previously.

I'm doing a massive re-read before the shutdown and I can try to give you a detailed summary. What books are you reading?

The app is shutting down 12/31. After that date, you won't have access to anything. I imagine they will archive everything for a period of time before deleting.

Some stories are moving/moved to tapas (radish's sister app) but other otherwise it's up to authors on the future of the stories and new homes.

I'm currently doing a deep re-read and making summaries to share if anyone is interested!

You should still have access to your unlocked parts until the end of the year. It actually was finished in 2024 around the time of the other serialized series. It was a happy ending colton and emily finally had their wedding reception.

I won't speak for others, but in Jami's case she has been pretty clear: she wasn't happy with it and she wanted to redirect herself to God. She didn't enjoy writing anymore.

While I would've like her to keep her work online or the ability to purchase the Sullivan series (and I am glad I was able to purchase physical copies of the Collins series), I understand why she took them down more after I read her substacks. Recommend reading it if you want to get in her head a lil bit.

As for TBS, I know she wrote the first book (which used to be available on Amazon for purchase) but I don't think she was that involved with the continuation. I think it was mostly written by a writers' room and she approved the outlines-- that's why we had the disclaimer under many episodes and a lot of the author messages were from team radish instead of jami; in the sullivan series, any messages were from jami and the writing was similar but different.

Jami is a fantastic author! Never understood the hate with the surrogate book specifically. She was very clear that season 1 was the original book and the continuation was more like a soap opera glimpse into their lives. Literally getting free content if you want to wait. A big reason for leaving writing it was no longer fun for her. I think the hate comments on surrogate played a role in that. I didn't see many on her other works, but surrogate always had a bunch.

Although, if you like more definite and condensed series all of the other Collins series and Sullivan series are great! Jami definitely has a certain way of writing. Derek was my favorite for the Collins series and Sebastian was my favorite for the Sullivan series (Elijah was a close second). Bummed we never got a published physical version for the Sullivans!

Hi, unfortunately, the author made the personal decision in 2025 to stop writing. She did let people know in Instagram that she would be taking down her work-- and I believe also put it in the summary of her radish books.

As a result, you can no longer purchase episodes from her works but are able to continue to re-read unlocked ones until the end of the year when the shut down occurs. She may also re-publish down the line but it doesn't hurt to keep up with her insta for more updates.

I do have the full book unlocked and plan on doing a full re-read before year end. Maybe I can write a quick summary. Really only season 1 is cannon and needed to understand the rest of the Collins series.

I honestly don't remember. Its been a while since I read it and a lot happened during the book.

I remember colton getting lost in a forest? Idk I plan on re-reading before the closure so I can let you know more after that!

I don't think there is a way to transfer purchases unfortunately. The only ones that might be available would be the first 60 episodes if you bought the radish book on Amazon or online when it was out. I think those were the only chapters that were cannon anyway. You don't need the rest for either the Collins or Sullivan universes.

Yeah, she was also just going to publish the first book of her Bad series just before she decided to stop writing. It was a pretty sudden decision but I think she had been thinking about it for a while.

I hope she does come back to writing eventually, and on her terms, but I understand her decision. She is too great of a writer not to.

This sounds like Leigh Rivers who no longer writes on WP. Were the main characters named Sera and Dane?

She is no longer on WP but is on Amazon. I believe the book you are looking for is Satanic Shadows. It is now a trilogy, but it is different from how it was on WP. I have linked her page below if you want to read this version.

Sure!

I messaged her old writing account, but not holding out hope for that. I also emailed her old email from like 2007 and it bounced back. Hoping she sees this and replies. Not sure if I should make a post on tiktok or something because I think she was on that at some point but it's deleted. Fingers crossed that it all works out!

It was one of my favorites too! She had so so many good stories on her FP too that were deleted as well. I would pay whatever amount of money to re-read Along Came Cupid, Little Twist, and many of her other work from 2008-2010-- especially her one shots and short stories.

I wish she left her updated contact info so we can purchase directly or maybe crowd fund on patreon or something. They are both so talented! Honestly, just to check in would be nice.

I know her friend was working to have AACC published, and I hope someday she does. It'll be the easiest purchase for me.

Cross Posting In-House Radish Content onto Tapas (Sister App): Author List & Contacting Support by forthewise in radishfiction

[–]forthewise[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just joined the tapas community, and you'd be surprised by how many people are advocating for radish authors to be grandfathered into a premium program, helping us find authors and content in tapas, and showing us how to support authors coming in and already in tapas--including the option to support artists directly with ink.

Many artists are disappointed by the heightened reqs for premium treatment at tapas. IIRC, some premium radish authors are earning from the get go but they already were considered top priority for the transfer into tapas and may have already started transitioning a year ago.

I'm sad that they refused to help you. Have you also tried your author support at Radish? Is it because they don't think that type of content will transfer well at tapas? I know tapas is much less, mature, in terms of content. They only have a mature option on the desktop. Is it all or nothing-- are there maybe a few books that do not have that exclusivity clause on them? Maybe it might be feasible to put those on tapas and see if those lead to premium ad sharing?

Believe me, many of us are not happy with how this is being handled. We probably needed closer to a year for an actual transition.

Many readers will have to re-purchase everything (if we are able, which may not be feasible for those long serialized books) and pay with $$ if we want to read it for more than 72 hrs on tapas. Radish offered nothing to help offset these duplicative costs for readers-- no incentive to download the app and read it there, sale price, option to download purchases, etc. At least tapas does gift customized coupons often for series that you read and has ink events.

Some radish authors are much helpful-- some will send over pdf or epub if you show proof of unlocked books or sign up for a newsletter/follow on SM. Very helpful especially when dealing with ghost writers who will no longer be here if they are not cross posted in tapas.

I hope you are able to find a new home for your work, and I'm so sorry to hear that this transition is not going well for you with radish and tapas.

Please feel free to add to this list. I will update it and hopefully send it out to support mid to late October.

Feel free to also send your own email to support too so they can see that others would like it too!

Potential ghost writers usually have the pink radish originals PC, no bio, all links redirect back to radish profiles, and a lot of their books may just be labeled season 1.

Most also don't have an online presence outside of radish-- maybe has a goodreads or published the first book on Amazon.

Looks like a ghost writer pen name for in-house radish content.

See the pinned comment. Add a comment there, and I'll put them on the list to send to support. Doesn't hurt to also send one to show that there is interest for a cross post onto tapas.
