Random things that pop into my head! :D

AUTHOR APPRECIATION TIME

Warning: POSSIBLE spoilers for Flowey is Not a Good Life Coach by unrestedjade and for The Best of Times; The Worst of Times by abadtime.

Nothing is explicitly stated, but if you are currently reading one of these stories, these implementions may cause you to guess some stuff.

Well, this happened many days ago, but I feel it getting close. The final two chapter for Flowey is Not a Good Life Coach has been sent to the beta. It's almost here...

meaning...

you guys might not hear from me for a while. I'll probably be in therapy with Plankton. I already allowed myself 2 hours to sleep last night to binge on The Best of Times; The Worst of Times and...

Quite frankly, I'm both in awe and am absolutely amazed at these two stunning authors and can only DREAM of writing at their level. (god help me I haven't begun sos yet...)

Unrestedjade has torn into my heartstrings and tapped into my worst fears.
Chapter 23 fucked. me. up. I was so engrossed into the story by then that, even though the stuff happening isn't as intense as the stuff in botwot, I could FEEL it and imagine it so vividly, it scared the fuck out of me.

And as for abadtime, well, first of all, you clever bastard, you. Botwot is so damn perfectly written (how you kept up with ALL OF THAT CONTINUITY, I don't know but praise man, praise) that it just leaves you guessing, keeps you on your toes, then cruelly gives you space to breathe for just a moment... before it gets even worse. FiNaGLC does this as well, don't get me wrong. The only difference is that the events in BoTWoT are much more dramatic, with a bit more at stake and leaves you with the feeling that everything will fall apart with the slightest mistep. Hell, this story had me up at 4:30 last night translating several wingding sentences, which of course took a while and I still wanted to read more. It got to the point where I didn't have to look at a chart because I memorized the characters at some point.

....How do I say this?

BoTWoT does more with physical horror and has just the right amount of mental torture.

FiNaGLC does more with emotional/mental abuse and horror with just the right amount of physical torture.

Just the right combos to leave you blown away at these amazing stories and have you wonder how people can come up with these cruel ideas to make you feel the scars they give the characters!

There's no competition I'm trying to make between these two stories, no. I just need a moment to step back and praise these people for existing and doing what they do, writing what they write. Inspirations, both of them are. Keep it up!

...

...In the mean time, I'm going to nurse my broken heart and shattered mind for a while~!
