YES! It does make it more enjoyable, because I get to appreciate it twice in one watch/read: Once for the sheer entertainment of it, and another for how it works (or doesn’t, lol).
Exactly! Plus, it’s even fun to read objectively bad things because it lowers your standards for published books and makes your writing seem better in comparison XD (Not that I… would ever do that on purpose. Oh, no n e v e r)
<3 well thank you! I am glad Quin is special to you. Sahar, Acyn, and Aydin are special to me, but especially Acyn. 🙂 (And maybe Aydin, too, but he was only here for a short time…or it felt short).
Well, you’ll be happy to know I ended up not cutting Acyn as a character XD I even gave him a POV chapter and a little more screentime. Sahar is simply vibing and having a great time while the others get traumatized XD Aydin is the one getting traumatized, poor thing. XD
Ha! The tea is spilled now. *evil laughter for no reason*
Lolll I actually read that book after I chose my pen name XD But it’s a very happy coincidence.
I have heard you mention Haikyu. Remind me again, was it a book or a movie?
Technically both XD It’s a manga that was turned into an anime! It’s probably the closest thing I’ve found to a perfect piece of media XD @calidris dragged me into it almost against my will and for that, I am eternally grateful XD
The bad explanation of what it’s about is that it’s about a boys’ volleyball team XD However there are so many layers and themes and depth and complexity to it. I knew nothing about volleyball when I started and couldn’t have cared less. I just got extremely invested in all the characters. The volleyball aspect does work beautifully, it wouldn’t work without it.
