I don't think I will be able to keep track of this series. Rangi's love for Kyoshi reminds me of the tragic romance between Hei-ran and Kuruk from the novels. The fact Rangi has been in love since the very beginning with Kyoshi and still after all these years breaks me into a million pieces every time I read a new chapter or a spin-off.
I found it enjoyable at first, you have an eye for tension between the characters and their personalities. Your writing is very interesting and entertaining but I'll add the dramatic effect and admit, this is a real suffering to read. It's the way how YOU write Rangi's story to be tragic and sad. The chances of a sequel with those two together are thin (I notice there are only three chapters left of your other fic).
But yeah, congratulations and kudos to you for making me fall in love with this alternative universe that not only made me spend days daydreaming scenarios of the future end of this story but it also gave me the desire to draw/write more about it. I despise it, seriously speaking.
I think this is one of those few fics that give one depression and sadness as a living hell, which says a lot about your talent in the writing department. The passion here is real
Agh. Oh goodness. I'm in a terrible pickle here. I want to reply... but I don't want to give spoilers. So all I will say is that the next chapter of Trampled lilies is pretty decisive plot-wise, and that should help you decide whether or not to keep reading.
I'm kind of speechless anyway (in a good way), to know my writing has had such a powerful effect. My writing process is less careful deliberation and more flying by the seat of my pants, trying to see what works and what doesn't, and all the while I'm like "what am I doing, this is crazy, this is boring, this makes no sense."
I'm sorry it's been a painful ride, but I'm glad it's been a roller coaster! And I'm very honored that you've thought about it so much. No pressure at all, but if you ever do draw/write anything... I would love to see the damage I've done what I inspired.
This is giving me some motivation to keep writing. Thank you for that, I've been in a rut.
Oh, and about the intensity of it. Some of it is in fact taken from true stories, either that I've heard or experienced! You'd be surprised what your grandma can tell you... (Thankfully though none of the seriously-bad stuff is firsthand experience.)
Pretty sure I will kms after that chapter. Not looking for it at all frankly. I don't know what I will do.
Well...It'd be an honor to share them but I'm afraid to risk what you have in mind for the future. I'd talk about literature though. Kinda interested in your library.
Well, I grew up going to public libraries a lot (and riding the bus... guess that explains a lot). But it's not till recently that I've had the ability to read fiction. When I do, it's usually "classics." Not the fancy ones. More like John Steinbeck. Or The Bell Jar. Basically anything about pathetic weirdos written before the 1970s.
I read a lot of nonfiction, mainly psychology and particularly stuff about mental trauma (it shows, doesn't it?). Also true crime, and, of course, addiction (In The Realm Of Hungry Ghosts was excellent). And I also get into a lot of random topics. Like dreams, or cryptids, or the history of poison.
Yeah... how about you?
Don't worry about your art or whatnot, I have the story all outlined. I'm curious to see it.
