Building the SASU Universe (aka How I Keep the Chaos Contained)

“How do you write four sports teams, all the couples, cameos, weddings, kids, and Pete without losing your mind?”

Three words: Spreadsheets, sticky notes, and snacks.
(Okay, five more: stubbornness, caffeine, and sheer unhinged willpower.)

📅 The Tools Behind the Universe

🧾 Master Timeline
Every release, every cameo, every future baby and proposal is mapped out by month and year. If it happened in SASU, it’s on this spreadsheet—including which mascots got ejected from charity events.

📖 Character Bible
Full bios, birthdays, family trees, trauma logs, tattoos, favorite snacks, love languages, exes, and who’s secretly allergic to cats but adopted one anyway.

📌 Crossover Map
Charts who shows up where, how characters are connected across series, and which moments have ripple effects on future books. Bonus: includes Pete sightings with timestamps.

🧠 Subplot Tracker
Because the baby born in Book 3 might be the flower girl in Book 7. This tracker helps me stay on top of weddings, injuries, pregnancies, job changes, and which player still owes the WAGs group a round of margaritas.

🎨 Mascot Lore Sheet
Yes. Each mascot has a file.
Yes. Pete’s is password-protected and labeled “DO NOT TRUST.”

💌 What’s Coming Next?

🔥 More books, more sports, more chaos
👶 More WAGlings causing mayhem
🎭 Character arcs that pay off across multiple series
🧊 New rivals (and possibly new teams)
🐧 And Pete? Oh, he’s just getting started.

✨ SASU isn’t just a series. It’s a universe—and building it is part strategic planning, part romance magic, and part letting the mascots run wild.
