Hey yall!!!
          	
          	I just wanted to leave a little message about constructive criticism to let yall know my thoughts!! 
          	
          	First of all, to the person I replied to and deleted their comment, I apologize if I came off as harsh! I did not intend to hurt your feelings or come off as mean, and I’m sorry if it did. I know that wasn’t your intent either. I thought I should make a broad post to make things easier.
          	
          	I think constructive criticism has a place in writing, and it can help us grow as writers. However I beleive there is a line drawn between a publish work and a fan work. People pay for published books, these fan works, like my fics, are written in my free time and posted for free.
          	
          	As well, by the time I post my books, they are written nearly all the way through. It makes it difficult to try and incorporate constructive criticism when the story is nearly finished. I can’t rewrite a story or a character in that manner.
          	
          	For me, I am totally okay with people pointing out spelling and grammar mistakes and leaving their own ideas about fics on the plot, that’s fine! I start to get a little defensive over criticism when it involves my original plot and characters. 
          	
          	That’s the basis of a book. It’s totally fine not to like it, but I feel it’s better to simply find a different book than leave a comment about not liking it. For me personally, it really affects my enthusiasm to write and post my works. 
          	
          	I appreciate all the comments and engagement in my works! I would just ask in the future yall consider how it might come across to tell an author criticism about a fan work they’re enthusiastic and passionate about writing. Not every book can be to your taste, and that’s okay! 
          	
          	Again, thank you all for your support of my existing works! I love all of you for giving my books a chance and enjoying the ones to your taste!

@arg784 you’re all good!! I really didn’t mean anything by the reply and I was really worried when you deleted it! I understood where you were coming from and I definitely should have made a post about this sooner as you are definitely not the first, I didn’t mean it to seem like I was targeting you specifically!

As a side note, to those who are not a fan of the work I’m currently posting through, it should be finished here in a couple weeks.
          	  
          	  The next fic I’m currently outline will be a return to my husband. As much as I appreciate yall and want to give everyone a fic for a character they like, I write for ME and I really enjoy Cregan Stark. I will be returning to him.
          	  
          	  I’m planning on writing another daughter of Daemon as well, and this OC is one I’m really excited for! Let me know y’all’s thoughts! Love all of you!

FYI!!!
          
          I updated the Cregan-Alyssa-Jace chapter in Familiarity—(Chapter 42)! I’ve been sitting on it and wasn’t really happy with it, so I completely reworked it. If yall are up for reading about them a second time, I promise they get even freakier. I like it a lot more than the first version, so if yall want, you can give it a re-read!

@naerysa freakier than before?  (checking it out rn )

I've always loved your stories. I'm most fond of JacexOC, and so far you only have one completed story and one unfinished story about JacexOC. I have an idea for your story if you're not too keen on incest.
          
          OC is Rhaenyra's younger sister from Aemma, Baelon's living twin. Viserys dislikes OC (because of Aemma's death / because the living twin is a girl) but Rhaenyra loves her very much. OC has Aemma's eyes and Rhaenyra's hair. OC tries to get close to her siblings from Alicent, but they are very difficult. The easiest is Aemond because they both don't have dragons. But over time their relationship becomes more bitter after Aemma has a dragon and Aemond doesn't (before Vhagar).
          
          I quite like Jace with women who are 5-6 years older than him. Not just someone with a close age gap.

@naerysa Respect for the OC must be earned, not given, by the Lords in the Red Keep (there's a potential for the TG to belittle or show disrespect to the OC), because Viserys doesn't like her (not hate, it must be different).
            And over time, the OC becomes one of Rhaenyra's image defenses in Reed Keep if you decide to have the OC stay in the Red Keep while Rhaenyra is in Dragonstone (but I have a hard time theorizing because Rhaenyra loves the OC so much that it's almost impossible not to bring her to Dragonstone too. Especially since Rhaenyra knows Viserys doesn't like OCs).
            
            And as for Aemond, I'd love it if readers felt that Aemond would become the OC's partner. They like each other, but the darkness in Aemond's heart is deeper than we thought. And the OC's feelings for Jace aren't initially recognized as love at the first, more like brother-sister feelings (the OC misinterprets, Jace doesn't).

that’s an interesting premise and I’d definitely consider! I am actually writing a Jace fic right now which is not like this premise but once I’m finished that one I’ll definitely consider it for my next story!

Hi! Has it ever crossed your mind to write a book where Rhaenyra’s daughter (her eldest child) wouldn’t be a dreamer, but something similar—she would dream about her ancestors, the Conquerors, Maegor, etc.? A story where they guide the girl because she is their chosen one. And of course, the girl would eventually be with Cregan. And naturally, when the girl is older—around 10–12—she tells her parents about her dreams; I’ll leave it up to you when she tells the rest of the family. Would you feel like writing a story like this? Thanks in advance for your reply.❤️
