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]

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]

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]

@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…

@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]

@raxforge

Lolll, funny, but legit too

@koshka Sylph is very cute, by the way. I want to know how he dances.

I seriously need to update the foreign lit/etc. class, since it’s my character teaching the class. Posting this reminder for myself, so maybe I get it written tonight.

I’m going to sit in a brown study for a while, and get back to you. *Thumbs up*

@keilah-h

Post it when you’re done, if you like! :]

Oh XD You replied quickly
