Love Bytes is proud and honored to host this special release day event for author Charlie Cochet her release: Thirds Beyond the Books: Volume 1
Thanks and Welcome Charlie 🙂
Hello, all! Thank you so much for joining me here today at Love Bytes to celebrate the release of THIRDS Beyond the Books: Volume 1! Today we have a special release day event! We’ve talked a little about the book and how it came about, but for those just joining us, THIRDS Beyond the Books is a collection of THIRDS flash fiction stories written to prompts submitted by readers (find out more here). Writing these stories has been sheer joy, and the number of amazing prompts submitted by fans has been incredible. But just how are the prompts chosen?
Prompts are submitted either through the comments section on the THIRDS Thursday page on my blog or via the THIRDS Nerds Goodreads group. Every week I select one prompt at random to write to, and the story gets posted on the blog and the group. Today we’re going to let you decide which prompt gets written next! Below we have a poll with five randomly selected prompts submitted by awesome readers. Vote on which story you’d like to read next. The prompt with the most votes by the end of Sunday, June 12th will be the next THIRDS Thursday story!
To celebrate today being release day, I’ll be taking prompts in the comments below! Submit a THIRDS Thursday prompt below and I’ll add it to my prompt list! There’s only one rule, your prompt needs to follow the current release timeline, so no spoilers. 😉 Have fun, go crazy! There’s also an exclusive giveaway just for this event!
So what happens after a prompt is picked and the story is written? It’s posted on my blog, the THIRDS Nerds Goodreads Group, and the link posted in the THIRDS Nerds Facebook Group. Are you on Facebook? Are you a THIRDS Nerd? Join us! The THIRDS Nerds are an amazing group of THIRDS fans who love to chat about the books and characters, post pictures, videos, gifs, memes, art, and all sorts of fun stuff! We also have a THIRDS Nerds Series Spoilers Group for folks dying to squee about the latest release, or just chat about what’s coming next. You’ll also find group reads, exclusive giveaways, excerpts, the latest news, and more. THIRDS Thursdays has become one of my favorite days of the week thanks to the awesomeness of readers. Look forward to seeing you there!

Hey Charlie, I’d like to see Austen and Zach meet and hang out on one of their off day. Totally off work fun activity!! 😉
oh man so many good prompts that i loved. hmm. guess i loved Sloane and Dex’s date night? i think they went to see a movie
I just started with the prompts. I would love to have a scene at the bar with Zach and Austin there as well.
How about a double date with Sloane, Dex, Ash & Cael and they are playing pictionary or twister.
I really would love to see the gummy bear grenade launcher incident.
How about a scene from Austin’s POV, spying on Dex and and Sloane?
Any story where we learn more about Austen – he fascinates me. Or, I like Toni Griffin’s suggestion.
Thanks!
I just read all these suggestions and I love them all. I’m terrible with thinking up ideas on my own. Lol! A group date night sounds awesome . Maybe a drinking game like, Never Have I Ever!!! The F☆ck, Marry, Kill one they played was one of the best things I ever read!!!!! Thanks for sharing with us today!!!!
My favorite so far is when Dex, Sloane, Ash, and Cael went to see Star Wars, so cute. 🙂
i really do love this series
I think my favorite has to be the sex talk. Sooooooo sooo funny! The gift that keeps on giving 😀
I haven’t read any of them, I don’t think. But I love reading and seeing the gang so i’ll be happy to see any stories about them.
I loved the 3 part one that was from Sloane’s POV when Dex was kidnapped at the end of Catch A Tiger By The Tail
After reading the short story about Zach and Austen, I’d also like to read more about them.
I actually have more of a question than a prompt, because I want any and all stories told from the Thirds world as possible. My question is about Dr. Nina Bishop, the human medical examiner. Per her bio, she’s 5’9″ yet only weighs 105 lbs. Is she suffering from anorexia or bulimia? If so that may be a good story to explore. Awfully thin for being such a tall woman!
Hi, Nicki! That’s actually a typo, thanks for catching that! Nina actually weighs 115. My facecast for her is Grace Park who’s also 5’9″ and weighs about 115. Nina isn’t suffering from anorexia or bulimia, she’s always been very slender, but the stress of the job lately hasn’t helped. She can weigh anywhere between 115 and 125, but she is one of those people who needs to be reminded to eat because she’ll get so caught up in the job that she’ll forget. Hudson’s always there to remind her or bring her lunch.
Aw, thank you all so much for dropping by. Fantastic prompts! 😀
Anything with Zach and Austen. I can’t wait for Austen’s story,
I love this series! Really enjoyed prompts in this book and the sneak peak of the next book! Can’t wait for Smoke & Mirrors!
I find it hard to pick just one THIRDS Thursday story, but if I had to pick, it would be the one where Dex & Ash kiss on a dare. That was too hilarious for words!! 😉
