Nah! No offence! It was my very first fanfics so that’s to be expected! Tbh I’m thankful for the honest feedback, it means a lot. Plus, I agree with you, I just started throwing ideas at the wall and it ended up not very cohesive. Besides, Beginning to Fly was actually the whole reason the first series even happened, soooooo I accidentally ended up throwing all the set up in the last book… and added too many characters… oh well, ya live and you learn! I’m glad you liked the first book, though!
Unfortunately, the beginning to fly series will likely be the last fanfics I do. I’ve started working on publishing an original work, which I’m very excited about and is shaping up much better than any fanfic I’ve ever written (yay for practice!). I have mentioned that I have some stranger things fanfics on ao3, but unless I get a huge motivation boost after the live action HTTYD movie comes out, there’s a near zero chance of me writing another one for this fandom…
Again thank you for the feedback, it’s good to know and keep in mind before I finish my book!
