Ah, so where we are. Thank you for taking the plunge into TIOS! I completed this story last year but never got around to advertising it. I figured it was a waste leaving this on my shelf, so I've decided to share it with you all before I sell and distribute the final copy.
TIOS was intended to be an experiment with style and minimalism. I tend to go overboard with, well, everything (The Big Five was 500 pages r.i.p my sanity TT_TT) and I wanted to see how little I could get away with without hurting the quality.
The results were... oddly satisfying?
It's a dreamy story. It's set sometime in the future. I intentionally left out explanations so the readers could dive right into the bewildering landscape Olive and Bean call home. It's not my best, but it's certainly not my worst either.
Any criticism is appreciated no matter how harsh. It'll only help me improve as a writer. Enjoy! *sparkle*
Much love,
KL
