What's the male's name? They must be ship name compatible.

@ivorysprinkes Thank you <3 ๖ۣۜCrossroads Honestly. . . I don't know yet. Oops. There'll be a Trevor, an Austin, and a Kit, but I will not confirm or deny that any/all will be ships/shipable And there'll probably be a few more dudes once I find some names. |

A mild spoiler has appeared! I ended up doodling a character from chapter one. o.o I just liked his face okay. So mild spoilers if you'd like to take a peek at my late night procrastination doodles of man faces. xDDD |

Well it's 10pm so I'm good.
I hope.
I only have two little scenes left, though this transition is killing me, and then I have to edit for pacing (it's too fast in the beginning, too slow around the first transition, and not enough info on why she's there in the first place)

thanks. xD
Hopefully I can figure something out to make it less awkward. oops
It's weird cuz it doesn't start in a fight scene??
But that would be odd in a earth au

yeah, especially since I'm so used to writing fantasy.
And this is more. . .magical realism I guess.

Same ^^
I'm writing. . . four fantasy AUs? One's technically sci-fi but it's so far sci-fi it's basically fantasy at this point.
I think I only have one or two 'realistic' AUs.
ooooo do it!

Lol, nice! I like it. Writing is really cathartic sometimes, and just... annoying at others, lol. I can't write realistic AUs, tbh. It just doesn't work out.
And I think that I will, lol. Admittedly, it's kind of foolish in some places, like I asked one of my friends what she wanted the character in the AU that is based off of her to be named, and she, without pausing, responds, 'Smol Bean Full of Rage', so now there's a character literally named Smol in the AU. *Sigh*

Yeah, I always end up delving into a touch of magical realism regardless. Like metaphorically, or dreams, or something because fantasy yo.
HAha, I feel ya. You can always 'alter' it for the forums ;p
Non writers just don't get it sometimes. xDDD

I remember my first self-insert into a story. I made myself such a sue. xDDD
Sin's a cool name =o Or a good knickname name.
I still have a few hours. . . uh.
I've been watching art tutorials rip. </3
At least I learned something.

It's hard, though. I feel the struggle.
If I were ever to rewrite that story, I think I'd make my insert a bunch different just to make life easier. xDD
I watched a little tutorial on just start to finish progress of art (like a narrated speedpaint).
They did a lot more with lineart than I usually do, and it makes it so much cleaner. Thinking about trying the furring technique because that's something I struggle with.
ON ANOTHER NOTE
I accidentally did something with this chapter that makes me 10x as emotional for this ending.
I'm so excited to get to the end now ahhhh.

CHAPTER ONE NOW OFFICIALLY UP
Expect lots of edits before the due date, however. It's pretty rough around the edges, but it's there.
Also the word count is wrong by like 60-70 words. I know. I edited after taking the WC and didn't want to change it again because I'm going to be doing so many edits it's counterproductive to keep editing the WC until I'm done, mk.

This is really good! I liked the part in the store where she found the dress. It was a cute little scene. I'm curious to see where it will go.

Wow, that was really cool! It was very original, I haven't read something like this before, and I find it really intriguing. I want to read more! Fan me! And by the way.... I love that layout, all the colors are so pretty.

It's really interesting to have a colorblind character (who has, by the way, an authentic voice), and you had really good descriptions, you found good ways to describe the MCs grayscale world without repeating adjectives, and getting creative with them, like with the dress "turning to ash". Great job with that, too!
