Romancelandia Assemble! We’re back and we’ve got six weeks of phonebanks designed to flip the house and senate with @indivisibleteam! This year, we’re calling Georgia, Texas, Ohio, Tennessee, Montana and Michigan to deliver a blue wave up and down the ticket!

As always, Fated States phonebanks will feature a blazing fast chat room for discussion of romance novels and democracy, giveaways of romance novels and romance swag, special guests from Romancelandia and more—all hosted by the Fated Mates team!

Phone banks run for two hours, beginning at 1pm eastern, 10am pacific. You are welcome to join us for any amount of that time, and training will be provided to anyone who is new to phonebanking.

Register at fatedmates.net/fatedstates! 🔥🆙

AUTHORS — If you have books to donate to our fantastic phonebankers, we so appreciate them! Head over to fatedmates.net/fatedstates to donate! (We love you!) Phonebank Texas for Jon Ossoff

Fated Mates (the duo) explains Fated Mates (the trope) on Fated Mates (the podcast). How have we never done an episode about this?

Everything we care about starts in state legislatures, and It often costs less to flip an entire state chamber than to win just one competitive congressional race.

Democrats are being outspent in Pennsylvania, and Fated States is only halfway to our goal. Please contribute to our @statesprojectus giving circle if you can! FATEDMATES.NET/GIVINGCIRCLE by @fatedmatespod

We’re talking about romance with baking and sweet treats today! This is one of romance’s most common Romance Jobs, and we’re getting to the bottom of the appeal of the bakery in romance. Why do we love it when one character makes masterful desserts? What is so compelling about characters who know their way around the oven? We’ve got historicals, reality tv competitions, magic baking and menage — a little something for everyone this week!
