Coraline! It’s a classic children’s horror story. The book reads like a fairy tale, and I could gush about the movie for a long time, but I won’t. XD

@ellette-giselle

I was told the writing style wasn’t great either.

It’s crass, in a funny way. XD I’ve only read the first book.

Have you read the original Rapunzel? Like, the 100 page narrative? Old, old, old.

I don’t think so. Then again, I know a lot of variations, so I’ve probably read an abridged version at some point.

Marcel

Marcel meandered through the morning rush, stuffing his satchel shut and tucking his wings in for less drag.

Since yesterday, he had kept an eye out for the youngest students. The low staff wasn’t helping anything, and there was no way a kid was going to be kidnapped again.

In a matter of hours, the kindergarteners…[Read more]

Oh, and Tangled is better than the original tale. I feel like that doesn’t count, because the fairy tales are so short and not-detailed by nature.

@ellette-giselle

Never read the HTYD books because someone told me not to and just stick with the movies.

Haha, I know why. Some of the differences are night and day. Toothless is tiny and green, Fishlegs is thin… Makes me laugh to even think about it.

Oh, War Horse reminds me of another one! 101 Dalmatians is better than the book in some ways.…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Ha, your drawing illustrated the confrontation quite well. :] I like the subtle coloring for Sniper’s tail and legs.

@hybridlore

Wait… you posted in the spring channel here, I think. Are you joining KDWC?

Oh yeeaah, I did. Okay, makes more sense that you knew. 🤣 Yep, I signed up! I think I’m in Brookside Stories?

Lolol! Yeah, senior year is kind of crazy.

All of the kids are really smart and empathetic, but that also means they know exactly how to make each o…[Read more]

@keilah-h @theducktator @the_lost-journal

How To Train Your Dragon, Coraline, Fantastic Mr. Fox, and maybe Dune are all better than the books.

@hybridlore

The only problem is, I’ll have to figure out where that belongs in Cole’s character arc, since the timing on that is a little uncertain. I’m planning for this to be a duology, so that might be a great idea for the second book. I’ll just have to spend some time figuring out when I want to repair their relationship.

Ah, so you want th…[Read more]

@hybridlore

Oh, this is unrelated, but by the way, how is Challenge 4 going? What are you planning to do for your senior thesis? (I saw you were sprinting to work on it.)

You’ve seen that already? I haven’t figured out how to make a slack account yet. 😂

4 is going well! Classmates have been a little emotional, though. The first day this year, one…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

I think for me, the most obvious way I can think of that one of my hobbies has bled into my writing life is my Boardgaming hobby. In my main WIP the political mastermind character is also a really big tabletop gamer and uses that as a metaphor for his political machinations.

*Splutter of laughter*

Fish person? How is Syph like a fish person, pray tell?

Syph

So he didn’t have to “get a girl”, whatever that meant. He turned to give Ellie a grateful smile before shifting narrowed eyes to the Rax Boy.

What was that supposed to mean? A good natured challenge, or a patronizing ‘let the Little…[Read more]

@hybridlore

Awesome!! Sorry I stopped tagging you, I didn’t know if you were still reading.

I’m sorry I didn’t read sooner. XD I seem to have the unfortunate tendency of promising my feedback on multiple manuscripts. Nevertheless, I am here.

Making the world relatable was one of my big focuses, because I didn’t want it to just be this unr…

@raxforge

Oh gracious. XD

What kind of trouble?

@loopylin @raxforge

Syph

He had to what? He blinked at Eddie. A dark blue flush crept up his neck. Water droplets appeared and disappeared in the air around him.

“Oh. Guppies. For a dance? But I don’t know of any other spritelings to pair with. It could take an indefinite amount of time to even find someone who wouldn’t be—oh tadpoles—…[Read more]

@hybridlore

Thank you girl! Yeah, basically. It’s a lot more than that though. Pretty much about a year ago, I realized I was never going to get better if I kept letting my parents take care of my health (my mom has been helping me with my health via vitamins and stuff she found online for about 5 years after multiple Doctors said I had no cure).…[Read more]

@hybridlore

Hey! Yeah, it has been a long time. I don’t come on here much unless summoned. Honestly I’m probably at the hardest point in my life rn so I’m doing pretty bad most days, but it feels like I’ve grown more in this year than my entire life somehow 😂

How are you?

@hybridlore

I read through everything so far!

This is looking great. I’m really impressed with your style. It’s so confident and… I don’t know how to phrase this. Occupied with the plot. There’s always something going on, and because of the realistic dialogue, I can really believe in the overall realism of the world.

I like how the world and…[Read more]

@esther-c

The P.S. is beautiful. It closes out the letter (and story) in a satisfying, simple end. In my opinion, very good.
