Sounds good!

Oh, gotcha, thanks.

@ellette-giselle

I have hope that you won’t kill off all the characters… but am expecting at least one of the MCs to die. 😭😫

@ellette-giselle

Great first section! You did a good job of establishing the stakes and the characters’ situations. One thought I had (for you to consider) is possibly to remove the first journal entry and start off the book with Leon. It might be a stronger beginning… but it works great with the journal entry there too.

Remind me again, who is…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Oh, haha. XD. Yeah, I think we talked about it briefly right when you were first starting it.

Leon and Julian, from the last book. (Plus Albee and Ian, but I don’t think they’re coming back . . . unless they do. That would be cool.) I have a lot of other favorites, but they’re not in the Empire, so I doubt they’ll have much of a…[Read more]

@theshadow

The main character is incredibly bland, but also the most unique person in the universe. Typically I’ve noticed female protagonists are like this, and they’re usually super insecure about their looks but are actually pretty. Additionally, the protagonist has some special ability that makes them stand out and is caught up in a love tri…

6)Prepare for major fallout to begin from the Prince dying in the last book.
*nods happily*

2)Nearly everyone we love will get hurt.
why would you ever think that?! 😢

🤣

Mostly this.

@ellette-giselle

Oh, cool! You told me a vague idea of what the story was about . . . and I’ve read a scene or two that you posted on here. It got eaten by your zombie computer, right? I guess you were able to finish it?

Oh, just reading other people’s guesses and your responses to them. Plus your trigger warning at the beginning (I already knew…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Yes, I can see how that would be hard. XD The sequel to the Crimson Rose?

Oh boy. It looks like we’re in for . . . something. I’m starting to be concerned for your characters.

@ellette-giselle

It’s ok. I’m mostly teasing you. 😉

Swimming in gravel?

What book is this?

@ellette-giselle

I didn’t even do anything to you! We’re all innocent! 😂

@ellette-giselle

Of course you would.

Two can play at this game. Maybe I’ll delay the next few chapters of TCoH. 😝

@ellette-giselle

Lol.

I’m still not saying if it will even happen.

Yeah, yeah. XD Can’t be giving away spoilers before the book even starts.

@ellette-giselle

You know, y’all called gladiator fighting last time……

So you’re overdue. 😝

@ellette-giselle

I know! Who’s wearing it now!? Or is it just a throwback to Dietrich’s death and place in the story?

Uhh… there will be gladiator fighting. I feel like Leon is going to get pulled into that again. Maybe Julian too. And I might be seeing a prison cell on the bottom left… unless that’s something else.

@keilah-h

also I love the title.

Me too!

@ellette-giselle

Yay!!!

Oh boy. 🫣 I see the white knight on there… and an arena… and the creepy prince mask. 😬

Aight Jonas, did it

@trailblazer

My boundaries aren’t super good right now, but this semester was technology-heavy because of my thesis, so I’ve been focusing on that. I think stress avoidance plays a huge factor for me, and being on technology distracting myself is better than crashing in a stressful situation.

And in all honesty, the things I…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

It’s up to you. Most names have been used for popular media characters at some time in the past. Your character’s identity doesn’t ride on how original their name is. But if it bothers you too much, change it.

@ellette-giselle

I’ve always been picky about who to kill off, I’m a strong believer in having thematic reasons and not just irl logical reasons, or even emotional reasons. Can’t just kill them off to make people sad. But this character ticks off all the requirements.

Technically I can bring parts of them back. The magic system allows dead…[Read more]

It’s an important question
