Fantasy Heroine Complete Series 4 [The End, For Now]

Well, that about wraps it up...for now. Which means I need to go write the book. Wish me perseverance and sensical throughlines.

If your book/serial is not titled "One Crisis At A Time" I will count it as one of life's great missed opportunities

[@WardNightstone]

"Seduce husband for legal reasons" with a tick box would make a good design

I just love how Rosamund implicitly said "no sympathy for you you knew they were tagged as explicit and yet you read them anyways, its not anyone's fault but your own"

I swear mine write sentences of dialogue and description I had no idea of whenever my back is turned. But since they generally turn out to be the best passages, I leave them in the book. 😄

[@lukeflanagan1307]

I’ve only ever written maybe half a dozen good plots so far, but I know I’ve got a good one when I have to rewrite swathes because “they just don’t want to do that.” I had a character completely switch political sides (alt-right to alt-left) because thought it would be easier for him to achieve his goals.

[@MartiasMuses]

same :D

[@justarandomgothamite5466]

Fun fact the magic was actually referenced in the very first short "Do you have magic powers?" "Not currently."

[@stephanieturner6912]

Obviously Jill just needs to become a writer now. Along with her other fabulous skills we enjoy through her KZbin videos.

[@gammoregan]

Given that she presumably wrote all this herself, she already is a writer. Just not a novelist, which has some overlap with what's needed to create this series but not everything. And also requires time, which is currently spent on other things and would probably lower her video output. It may not be worth it.

[@ResaChiic]

i think the only worry is that, the main appeal of this series is the self awareness and the video format. translating it into a written form will be an interesting challenge

[@stephanieturner6912]

@@ResaChiic yes that would be tricky. But it looks like she’s considering it, she had a post and a link to a video about making a novel!

I love this series you are amazing keep up the great work

[@jgehman]

This is a really delightful new (?) type of storytelling. I hope to see a lot more of it in the future. You could do similar type storytelling with all kinds of traditional genres...I'd especially love sf or westerns, but really any type could be made to work. The interaction between main character and putative author really made this one, but you probably couldn't keep that up forever without it growing old. I still think the daily one minute stories could still work without that device.
