  • An original tale of sci-fi adventure in our very own galaxy.
    Darius, the Seer, might liken you to:
    A lens, which can’t be seen through or around - / jennynicholson
    Two moons of different colors, one of which might rise and eclipse the other’s light, or shadow - / jennyenicholson
    A blade which is identified as “ceremonial,” with no other descriptors or explanation - / spider_jewel
    His uncanny talent for keeping Chancellor Farren in line - / spiderjewel
    A blood horse - / jennynicholsonvids
    The books are all gone folks! But it was chill doing a giveaway, I might do it for other reading videos in the future.

      Those kind of things sound unrealistic but they actually happen. I once had an idea I deemed pretty original for a book, wrote down the outline, and after deciding on the title googled it to see if it was taken. *Not only the title was taken, the entire main twist/theme of the book was* . It was a bestseller I had never heard about. That was... A both encouraging and sad moment.

      @@infjelphabasupporter8416 Something similar happened to me. I've always been a HUGE fan of horror, and it doesn't take long to notice that different cultures each have their own "standard" horror tropes. The hot teens getting hacked up in the US, the violent-death-spirit seeking revenge in Japan, the battle against nature representing inner human struggles in the UK, etc. I ended up writing a story outline based on this idea, with each trope being orchestrated by government groups pushing cultural morality lessons. I planned to expand it into a full novel. A couple years later... Cabin in the Woods came out. :(

I guess he suffers from major baby face syndrome considering how often he’s called ‘boy’ and ‘teenager’.

      (not saying we should rid of the redeemed by death or good boy to one person bad boy to the rest -- different strokes for different folks and all. but good lord have we got to have _more_ varieties than currently available.)

    This is so wild, my partner is a indie author and editor and actually personally knows the writer of this novel, Frankie. She's a legitimately lovely person and a talented writer, but the world of indie publishing and romance novels is a strange one--People don't really care so much for the plot or what even happens much, as much as they do a steamy romance with a lot of sex scenes. It's incredibly lucrative if you're talented enough to know what makes readers tick, and Frankie more than knows how to do this.
    The book is 100% supposed to be like a fanfic (mostly just about boning Kylo Ren), though obviously changed for marketing and legal purposes. It made her a good amount of money! My partner didn't edit this specific book, but it was funny that when I was telling them about it they were like, "Ahh, you mean the Reylo fanfic Frankie published?"

    ok but seriously, rewatching this video, the timeline in this book really doesn't make sense. Reza says she escaped the construct when she was 18, and that Jass is 4 years older than her, and that Cole has been her best friend for 7 years. Cole calls Jass a teenager, which suggests he looks young, and with Reza being 18 when she escaped, Jass is probably like 23-24 ish. BUT, Reza says that Cole was her friend for seven years, even though there is no way she escaped SEVEN years ago, and if she did, that means Reza is 25 woman that still refers to men as 'boys' and Jass is a grown man of 30 years that still looks and acts like a teenager. But if she escaped less than seven years ago, how has she known Cole for so long? Did he ALSO escape the construct, before being "adopted" by Erica? And if he did, and Reza and Cole met while they were still in the construct, why doesn't Cole also know and remember Jass? it makes no sense.

      Maybe Reza and Cole also had a dream affair, and Reza just also doesn't remember that. And this is why Cole was drawing little circles on Reza's back, out of blue, because he, just like Jess, remembers the dreams. And we never got a Cole's pov so we also don't aware of it just like Reza...T-T idk
