      @ellette-giselle I read the section! Good to have the characters remember past events.

       

      Also, I agree with Linus, I think they’re gonna live (or at least Leon and Julian will, Aelic could die or he could live); it seems a little early to kill these characters off, especially since you’ve provided no real replacement protagonists.

          Thanks!

          Hmm. We’ll have to see.

            What draft is this? If this is a first or second draft I could forgive you for killing them off and yeeting us into some random’s POV, cause it’s still rough and maybe you just figured out that killing them works for the story. But if it’s the final draft, almost ready for publishing, and you did that, I’d say go back and rework it a lot to introduce the new POV charrie better.

            But hey, if you really wanted a plot twist, you could take out Julian and Leon and leave Aelic alive. Don’t do that, but it would’ve been interesting.

             

             

             

             

            BTW my dad sent me an animation yesterday that he said reminded him of my own animations. The hero characters both die at the end and I was emotionally vulnerable for the rest of the day lol. I still tear up thinking about them. But I randomly thought about it while typing this and was like “Hah! That was the kind of thing Ellette loves.”

            Not that I’m knocking you for liking tragic endings, or that it was a bad ending. It was a good ending that made a decent amount of sense, plus the animator said he was quitting animating on that specific program, so it was kinda metaphorical too.

            IDK If I would recommend watching it to you though. There was quite a bit of swearing, plus it was loosely based off a fandom I don’t think you’re familiar with.

              Speaking of which, I don’t put swearing in my animations….lol. That’s not what I meant. (My animations don’t even have much dialogue in them yet haha)

              It was the animation style and the characters that made my dad think of me.

                Haha! That’s funny. I do have a weak spot for tragedy.

                 

                This is draft 4.

                 

                I make no comment what-so-ever.

                  @ellette-giselle

                  ohhhh.

                   

                  By Draft 4 pretty much everything is solidified, right?

                   

                  And I don’t mean “don’t make them die through the entire story,” just “don’t kill them this early in the book without a good replacement.”

                    Draft 4 = I think it’s great, lets let people tear into it and see if it really is.
