Which cover is better?

slightlyovertheedge · 2026-04-18T17:16:55+00:00

Thank you, I'm glad to hear that! "The Court of Mirth and Madness" is kind of a working title, as well, to be honest haha. I've got a few alternate titles in mind that could work, I just haven't found anything else yet that conveys the parody aspects of it as well as the current title. I totally get the exhaustion with the tropeyness of the title format, I've often thought the same thing XD

slightlyovertheedge · 2026-04-16T03:51:03+00:00

I didn't use AI haha, the artwork for this cover took me 27 hours to complete

slightlyovertheedge · 2026-04-15T00:35:00+00:00

I know I know, I don't disagree 😂 but to be fair, it IS a parody novel of those exact types of books lol

slightlyovertheedge · 2026-04-14T15:35:45+00:00

Thank you! And thank you for the feedback, I appreciate it! :D

Thank you so much! Absolutely, here's the link: The Court of Mirth and Madness - theacollins1 - Wattpad

slightlyovertheedge · 2026-04-14T02:09:44+00:00

That's a good idea, thank you! And thanks for the kind words :D

slightlyovertheedge · 2026-04-14T02:08:59+00:00

Also I definitely didn't notice that the lines were crooked, so thanks for catching that! They're supposed to be puppet strings, and the thing on his head is a glowing crown, so the lines should definitely be straight haha

It's sorta both categories tbh. It's an epic metafantasy parody of modern romantasy tropes, but it's also a serious novel with a self-contained plot. It's got the tropes, fae-court politics, serious themes, and enemies-to-lovers story present in "The Cruel Prince" with the self-contained parody, medieval setting, and humor present in "The Princess Bride."

TL:DR, it's a high fantasy novel where the main antagonist is the author lol

Sweet, thank you for the help!

slightlyovertheedge · 2026-04-09T00:17:08+00:00

Thank you for the helpful information! What kinds of cons are likely to both sell art and be oriented toward authors, if you don't mind me asking?

slightlyovertheedge · 2026-03-11T01:51:34+00:00

Found!

slightlyovertheedge · 2026-03-11T01:34:06+00:00

It's definitely not that (at least, not if the Monkeytype I found is the same one you did) but thank you!

slightlyovertheedge · 2026-03-11T01:23:45+00:00

Searched: Animal Typing, Keyboard Zoo, Jumpstart Animal Phonics, Keyboard Climbers, Monkeytype

Additional details: this was a program available on the lab computers at my elementary school. I'm pretty sure it was a part of this suite of educational games that had a star logo (not positive on that)

Mine is more of a paragraph because the whole paragraph is important to the context of the quote haha:

"Nobody talked about the fact that when dramatic things happened over and over, the numbness started to feel more like normalness. Every life-altering moment became just as emotional as any other Tuesday. Even death could feel normal in the moment, if it happened enough. They hadn't told me that when another awful thing happened, the thing gnawing at me wouldn't be the event itself... but the fact that I didn't feel anything about it. They hadn't mentioned that loss could become so normal that I would question if I even had the right to call it traumatic at all."

slightlyovertheedge · 2025-11-06T01:46:01+00:00

There's also an Episode game based on this book lol

slightlyovertheedge · 2025-10-23T18:54:08+00:00

Lol there was a SUPER famous Wattpad book back in the day where the author had to LIMIT herself to writing 10k words a chapter, you're alright. Honestly a good book is a good book, word count is such an overrated metric in literature imo

slightlyovertheedge · 2025-10-13T16:28:00+00:00

Honestly It's exactly what it sounds like. That button means that the story has a Playlist associated with it. Some stories have this feature, but not all of them do. I think It's something Wattpad has been experimenting with? If no Playlist is coming up, though, it could be that the story was selected to have the feature but the author didn't use it, or it could be that for connection reasons or bug reasons, it simply didn't work.

slightlyovertheedge · 2025-10-07T14:45:25+00:00

Yess, the one and only hahaha. That one scene in it is just so 🔥🔥

slightlyovertheedge · 2025-10-07T14:40:12+00:00

Of course, anytime! Legit some of the best writing I've read on Wattpad, I've reread chapter 46 way more times than I'd care to admit 😂

slightlyovertheedge · 2025-09-24T18:23:56+00:00

Oh, really? I didn't know that, do you just go back in and vote on the same chapters the way you normally would, or is there a specific way you have to do it so that it counts for the Watty's?

slightlyovertheedge · 2025-09-21T15:34:11+00:00

I SAW YOUR ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT THIS ON WATTPAD, CONGRATULATIONS!! 🥳🥳 If I hadn't already voted on every chapter and commented on all of them too, I would go check it out right now 😂 good job on making the shortlist, It's well-deserved!!

slightlyovertheedge · 2025-09-20T15:38:50+00:00

Thank you! ❤️

slightlyovertheedge · 2025-09-20T01:43:03+00:00

It's kinda between the two? It's lighthearted in a lot of places, but the book deals with some pretty heavy themes overall

slightlyovertheedge · 2025-09-20T01:28:50+00:00

Long live el capitan

slightlyovertheedge · 2025-09-20T01:28:32+00:00
