stop rebooting shit and hire actually talented screenwriters, directors, photographers, and artists for original ideas. no one wants to see the same shit recycled over and over again. enough romanticizing the past, fuck nostalgia. pay people to make new and interesting shit, damn. what are these people afraid of? actually entertaining people?

Thank you!!!!!!

Mostly stop ruining the things we like with new progressive versions

so tired of seeing spoiled ass men speak over girls abuse cus they wouldve handled the situation so much better than her haha 

this just in: a girl being raped over and over by her father then put into psychiatry to break her last coping mechanisms then taken home again till she resigns to this life has just as much fault as him because shes over 16 lmao

also according to some of yall: little girls getting raped isnt rape as long as theyre paid lmao

is there any “outtakes” or “deleted scenes”?

emeralddodge:

I have an enormous body of extra scenes/outtakes/deleted scenes. To wit:

Deleted Scenes

Some scenes fit perfectly within the novels, but added nothing to the narrative. I had to cut them. Battlecry has the most of these. My favorite conversation between Ember and Jillian was one of these.

Outtakes

Several scenes were removed because I changed a plot line. Again, Battlecry had the most of these. I cut a major plot line from Battlecry in my biggest revision.

Extra Scenes

I write side material if there is a major event that’s off-page, so I have a concrete version of events to allude to. I’ve written the following extra scenes for my personal reference:

  • Benjamin and Jillian’s wedding night (heh heh heh)
  • Jillian’s captivity with the Trents
  • Patrick’s attack on Ember
  • Marco receiving the news that he’d been summoned into service
  • Most of the Baltimore team’s time in service

Side Stories

I’ve also written a few side stories from Benjamin’s point of view, and a few others. These were primarily written before Mercury, when I was still experimenting with voice. 

Brothers was a story about Benjamin’s first few days on the team. It was about his relationship with Reid, who was rather hostile towards Benjamin for a while. The story covered how Reid warmed up to him.

Lola was a piece I wrote when I was playing around with the idea of Marco having a secret girlfriend. I never could get comfortable with it, so I labeled Lola as non-canon and left it alone. I still like the story, though.

Christiana, Queen of the Horses was a middle-grade short story written for a preteen relative of mine who inspired Christiana. It was a gift for her.

Light One Candle is my favorite, and it was written for a dear friend of mine. It’s about Reid and Benjamin bonding over their shared Jewish heritage. It’s also the closest thing I’ve ever written to a “holiday special.” I may post it next month if there’s enough interest.

The Winds of Change and Chance was the first chapter to a story I wrote about Eleanor and how she met Dean and the Sentinels.

The Beautiful Canvas was a short story from Jillian’s point of view about Will Rowe, and delved into his psychology a little bit.

Thanksgiving was an exercise in which I practiced team-wide dialogue, as well as played around with a few plot ideas I’d had. It takes place a few days after Battlecry’s epilogue.
