The whole thing in one video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o17EqZWrnZupbJo Merry Christmas!

[@pyeitme508]

Wow

[@ahd1903]

Merry Christmas, doughty perserverance and thoroughly sensical throughlines to you and yours. (: Well. *Mostly* sensical. Moderation in everything, including moderation.

[@jenshansen3568]

Do we get at least a Christmas Special🥺?

[@TyroHuman]

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

[@bukalayzx]

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"

[@ninawernick6501]

I'm low key super pleased that you advertised the fanfic without advertising the fanfic

[@arualblues_zero]

I thought it was a joke, then I found the fanfic hahaha

[@LeonardoTaglialegne]

Oh my god, I _thought_ it was a joke, but there is actual fanfic??? [one google later] There are 25 on AO3!!!!

Characters having free will without your permission... Yeah. Every writer can understand that pain. Same with those wierd coincidences of plot that you didn't even planned, but they end up there for some reason

[@ianhopping105]

Been there, written that. The female lead said "you should take me to dinner. " Male lead looked at me in surprise. "I didn't know she was going to say that!" I said. "Does she like Thai?" "Don't worry mate, she will."

[@cmm5542]

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.

[@801walt]

“Every Character runs around setting boundaries like they have free will or something” Brilliant. Talk about living in a multiverse. Keep it up Jill. I’m hooked.

[@striderpup1169]

I like how Caroline is somehow still surprised by the amount of knives Rosamund has.

[@gggiiillllllyyy]

This went from haha funny short to fully blown investment, magic is a thing, Baron Mabry and the killer is still unknown. Happy Christmas and hopefully next year we get more of the story.

[@MartiasMuses]

same :D

[@justarandomgothamite5466]

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

[@bakuiel1901]

Never noticed the first time that Caroline changes piece by piece during camera changes, so awesomely done 👍

[@ealusaid]

Ohhh I didn't catch that until you pointed it out! I love it.

[@cmm5542]

I didn't see it either 😁

[@North_West1]

Rewatching now.

[@masonwheeler6536]

"I read the fanfiction." Wow, that had me literally laughing out loud!

[@TheMagnoliaWitch]

This has definitely been my favorite web serial for the last few months. Clever, engaging, *infinitely* relatable, and an all-around delight to watch (and re-watch)!

[@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!

[@ResaChiic]

@@stephanieturner6912 ooh neat. i'm *very* curious how caroline, the administrator, and the hot editor, with everyone sharing the same faces, will be adapted 0.o i worry the traditional publishing industry at large would not understand the self-aware humor

[@stephanieturner6912]

@@ResaChiic I hope some actual editor somewhere would appreciate a satire book! Or series. I’m not sure how much that would help with having the same face.

[@lukecox6317]

On behalf of all your watchers and subscribers, thank you for making this wonderful series. I'm a bit sad it's come to an end for now, but hopeful for what may yet come, and looking forwards to it and to everything else you have planned to make. Thank you, and God bless you!

[@cmm5542]

Ditto!

[@wyogrl11]

Yes!

[@ulfjohnsen6203]

The more I watch this, the more impressed I am at how different you made your personas. If I didn't know better I'd think you had sisters playing the other roles....

[@NatalieCrafts]

If this ever gets published, I more than kind of hope that the byline is either Caroline Lindley or Jill and Caroline. Because that would just be the icing upon this amazing cake.

[@MsLinaTina]

She could use Caroline Lindley as a pen name. It would be so funny. (I even know of a series of kids books that do something similar)

[@cmm5542]

[@zinniebug7555]

[@ravenshepherd8111]

This was such a fun journey, and I genuinely got invested in it. I love that this all grew out of a little joke. It's a perfect format for this type of fourth-wall-free story. Thanks for the several weeks of fun and crisis and surprisingly sweet semi-forced romance ♡

[@markp6062]

So worth more than the cost of an actual novel I would never buy! Can't thank you enough for your wit, wisdom and insightfulness. Thanks!

[@JillBearup]

Thank you! 😁

This story has been so addictive! I really hope for a sequel. And a book, and a movie. WIth more sword and knife fights. An a little cheese. Happy christmas to You, Your family and the cast of the story.🎅

[@cmm5542]

Definitely the cheese 😁

[@armygman79]

Watching as member, but re watching for fun. Merry Christmas 🎄!

[@gorklives]

Four series in and I still think this was so unique and well crafted.

[@markp6062]

What a HOOT! 😂 You know, I've been loving this series and the episodic delivery, but something about seeing them all strung together just hit me in a totally new way. Love the characters, love the plot, but most importantly, LOVE the antics. Characters running the show, writers being unable to keep up... Just too much FUN! And OOOOoooohhhh the discovery of Fanfic and... "You've got my face..." 🤣🤣 Classic!

[@blythewarland5459]

from watching your various videos on armour and fight scenes etc to this series, at first it was a bit of light hearted escapism; I never thought I would become so engrossed in it. If you ever fill it out to a novel size I would definitely buy it

[@cathyharrop3348]

Hi Jill, I have this quirk that when I rewatch a movie or show that has an emotional scene, particularly of grief, I tear up. Rewatching you read the feast of remembrance rite hit me the same way. Well written and well acted. Lance Harrop

[@asafupps]

This series has been a wild ride, Jill… and I loved every second of it. 🥰

[@G.F.SF55]

I certainly like the "For Now" part :)

[@tankizard]

I am eating this up the whole series every few weeks. Admittedly, not as much as I eat cheese, but still frequently. I am so excited for more of the Fantasy Heroine series and more cheese

[@polinaignatenkova3634]

Oh that ENDING!! ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!

At least you are honest when you put you make your heroine look like yourself. thats more honesty then you see from most fantasyAuthors

This series has been fun from the start. Sad to see it end, but leaving us wanting more is not a bad way to end it.

[@persiswynter6357]

Thank you! Happy Holidays and see you next year!

[@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.

[@4wheal]

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

[@Linaxtic]

Jill, this entire series is a delight. It's made me want to push myself back into writing again. I can't wait for any further adventures. Oh and...I did look up some fanfic xD

[@miriamdruyan]

After the final episode came out, the next day I opened up KZbin and I was just like.... that's it. It's over. There's no joy left in mudville.

[@pienkunicorn]

Great! Something to look forward to in January.

[@somedude6161]
