That’s such a cool outcome, fun and awareness rolled into one! 🌿🐆
Have you seen similar moments at other gatherings, where a lighthearted theme led to serious conversations?

Sure, If you do not mind MJ, can we continue this lovely chat in DMs?

That sounds like a perfect setup! 👏 I love when the first part lays the groundwork and Part Two can really ramp up the stakes.
Do you already have the main arcs for the series planned out, or are you letting the story evolve as you go? Also, would you be open to continuing this lovely chat in DMs?

I see, Do you mind if we exchange dms? I'd love to discuss more...

That sounds perfect 😄 I’m a sucker for a slow-burn with heart.
Do the quirky family dynamics play a big role in how Lu & Ru navigate their second chances, or is it more of a backdrop?

Love that connection between fashion and conservation 🌿🐆 It’s wild how style can remind us of the real creatures behind the patterns.
Do the gatherings often highlight sustainability, or was this a special theme?

That sounds intriguing! Dark romance with a fantasy edge is such a compelling combo 🖤✨
Do you plan to dial up the horror more in later parts, or keep the focus on romance throughout the series?

Love that 😄 I’ll dive in from the beginning then. With so many genres mixed together, do you find your readers get surprised most by the sci-fi, the whimsy, or the philosophical farce?

That’s such a fun tradition! Starting the year with a Dickens “brick” is ambitious and kind of epic.
Did reading David Copperfield change how you think about tackling long books, or do you still enjoy the idea of plowing through them in one go?

That’s the scary part: recommendation systems don’t just host extremism, they amplify it.
If the algorithm pushes 21 similar accounts in two hours, that’s not “free speech,” it’s distribution.
Do you think Sub stack will actually change without public pressure?

Ooo I love this 👀
Based on A Psalm for the Wild-Built, I’m guessing your theme might be quiet, hopeful, reflective books, the kind that feel like a deep breath.
Am I close, or way off? 😄

This sounds right up my alley 😄 Second chances + quirky family dynamics is such a good combo.
Is Lu & Ru more of an emotional slow-burn, or does it lean heavier into the spicy/rom-com energy?

Congrats on the release! 🖤⚔️ Blood & Shadow sounds like it’s going to be deliciously dark.
What vibe does Part One lean more toward, horror-heavy, or dark romance-forward?

That’s a wild deal 😄 Five books in one is basically a whole mini-library.
I love the “philosophical farce” + genre-torrent vibe, that’s such a fun pitch.
Which of the five would you recommend readers start with first (or is it best read straight through in order)?

That’s a BIG first “brick” of a book 😂📚
And yes, Dickens really knew how to create characters that stick in your brain forever. Uriah Heep especially is the kind of creepy you never forget.
What made you pick David Copperfield as your first huge read, was it a goal, or did you just fall into it?

That’s a really strong angle. Trying to live up to the idea of him can be so much heavier than living up to the real person.
Does she ever get a moment where she finally sees him as human, not just her hero?

Yeah, this place is crawling with spam and copy/paste promo messages.
Just to be clear, I’m a real person and I wasn’t trying to pitch anything. I genuinely liked your one-line hook and was curious about the vibe
Congrats on the release though, that one-line pitch is creepy in the best way.

That makes total sense. Series momentum is hard to walk away from, but so is the itch to write something new 😅
Do you feel like Book 6 can give you a true ending, or would it be more of a “pause here before the next arc”?

Ooo I love that angle. “In her father’s shadow” can be such a quiet, gnawing kind of pressure, more identity and expectation than outright drama.
Is it more about her trying to live up to him, or trying to escape being compared to him?
