Now the time has come for us all to remember the great works of our dear friend @zebralou. I'm speaking of the magical, untold stories that will now never be finished. Of the characters we all fell in love with. Of the questions that will never be answered.
I will begin with the first, the place where this adventure started: Darkness Rising, once known as Savage Beauty. A novel, a trilogy, that ended before it had truly begun. I will always remember the wonderful characters of this particular story. Our lovable little kitten, Criplogen. That guy we all love to hate, Imperius. (Spelling is iffy since they're deleted already.) And, the ever sassy and epic Krystal. I will miss you all dearly, and will never forget you.
One thing that will always stick with me from Biohazard: the words. I will never forget the beautiful descriptions in this story. The usage and variety of vocabulary and the comparisons and the way she links them all together just pulled me in from the very beginning. I could see everything as though it was actually happening to me, as though I could smell the different scents in my room, as though I could feel the same exact shock they were feeling, touch the same fabric. Any and all progression in my own descriptive skills, I credit to Laurel and what I learned from her descriptions in this novel, descriptions that are now lost forever from Wattpad.
I will never get over the cleverness and deviousness involved in The Queen of Lies. Everything about it sucked me in. Laurel's attempt at writing from the point of view of an antagonist was absolutely AWE-INSPIRING. Her ability to weave a fabulous, interesting, and complex plot full of secret agendas, dark secrets, and interacting goals was simply incomprehensible. I'm heartbroken that now, I'll never know what all of this intrigue will come to, or what Tempy's (Temptation) role was in everything.
I will miss all of these dearly, and each will having its own place in my heart so long as I will live.
