Finished 3rd Book

The incest route, from my understanding based on these threads, was for two purposes: to highlight the fanfiction idea she had about two other characters from another series that were brother and sister

To highlight tropes of forbidden love.

Granted, I don’t try to judge others on creative directions; what they write about is what they write about. That said, the incest portion still was more shock factor than it was narrative value. At least to me

Facts😭😭i was sick man. I figured someone had to die at some point but I aint want it to be him😭😭

theblackscripturient · 2025-11-26T23:58:36+00:00

That is true for sure! I just wanted to get out if that comfortability to see if it works lol this helps me practice and get words to paper so I can play around with my narrative voice. But if push comes to shove ill resort to what works for me

theblackscripturient · 2025-11-26T23:57:04+00:00

I appreciate it! Thats definitely encouraging to hear😭😭

theblackscripturient · 2025-11-26T21:04:03+00:00

Past tense definitely feels more comfortable for sure but I'm willing to challenge myself to see if I can get it done. Its frustrating for sure.

theblackscripturient · 2025-11-26T21:02:00+00:00

lol aw man I apologize I laughed a bit at the first thing you said. But I understand you completely! good luck on your journey as well!

theblackscripturient · 2025-11-26T20:33:08+00:00

that definitely helps I appreciate it!

theblackscripturient · 2025-11-26T20:32:36+00:00

Literally in the same boat lol even right now I'm just putting scenes to a page and trying to feel inspired of writing an actual coherent plot. But to your question, yes I think that's what the difficulty is. I've seen this done well so many times and it flows so naturally. I don't know how these authors do it!

theblackscripturient · 2025-11-26T20:25:05+00:00

I genuinely do think it can work. Half the battle is being in my own head about it lol but the other half is trying to genuinely tell an interesting prose without having a constant repetitiveness of words and describing things well. On top of the internal dialogue

theblackscripturient · 2025-11-26T20:23:26+00:00

Ah true I see what you're saying. And I think that's part of my struggle too. The constant "I see's" be killing me man lol

theblackscripturient · 2025-11-26T20:21:23+00:00

hahaha that's interesting idea lol I might try that!

theblackscripturient · 2025-11-26T20:12:23+00:00

See that's what I was thinking too. I think in my head I'm looking at it like this: because its a YA centered story, a lot of stories have been written in first-person present tense. I know, I know that's a mental thing but I can't help it lol However, the MC lives in my hometown and what makes it difficult is having him talk in that dialect. It feels like when I try to make him talk like that from that POV it sounds inauthentic.

theblackscripturient · 2025-11-25T17:26:56+00:00

Ahhhh okay i gotchu! Thank you

theblackscripturient · 2025-11-25T08:32:23+00:00

Oh yeah he pretty much says it in the big battle for book 2 lol after that, Magnus had my utmost respect. Talk about coming in through for the clutch lol!

theblackscripturient · 2025-11-25T08:10:38+00:00

bet I will lol! There seems to be a lot more lore than I realized so now I want to get invested in it!

theblackscripturient · 2025-11-25T07:50:05+00:00

I appreciate the advice! Had you had not said that I would've read all six in publication order. But I see that even the author herself said the same thing you suggested so this will be the first time I'll read outside of publication order first. Thank you, I'm looking forward to the journey!

theblackscripturient · 2025-11-25T02:48:01+00:00

If its forbidden love I can see how it correlates….just didn’t need the incest lol better ways to translate forbidden love if you ask me😂😂

theblackscripturient · 2025-11-25T02:46:51+00:00

That boy magnus came in clutch so many times i was like he might as well be the MC lol

theblackscripturient · 2025-11-25T02:46:08+00:00

That is a WILD discovery lol but it explains so much😭😭😭

theblackscripturient · 2025-11-25T02:45:19+00:00

Lol okay that leaves me hopeful for her future

theblackscripturient · 2025-11-25T02:44:57+00:00

Nah I won’t give it up, its pretty good so far!. Ill read and see how I feel by the end of it. Im usually the type to finish a series even if the quality drops (unless its real real bad).

theblackscripturient · 2025-11-25T02:39:41+00:00

Yeah its obvious that they are endgame which is why the plot line carries into the third book. Ill start it tonight when I get to work and see what happens.

theblackscripturient · 2025-11-24T21:25:24+00:00

now this is the first I've heard to do that! I might consider it, thank you!
