The Freezer Bunny Club - A Reading Circle

GENERAL
- Cats or dogs?
Definitely dogs. #TeamNinja

- Okay, questions for realsies now. What are your general thoughts on the story so far?
I absolutely love it. I don't know exactly why but the way you write was attracting me. I don't really know much about Camelot and I'm not really interested in it but for some reason now I want to know more about it HAHAHA.

WRITING
- What do you think of my writing style? Are the sentences clear? Too short? Too long? Am I saying the same words repeatedly?
Your writing style is what attracted me to your story, so yeah, I adore your writing style. Everything is so in detail. It's as if I'm thrown back in time and I'm there myself as Sarah or something.

I don't think there's something wrong with your writing style. Keep it that way.

- I sometimes switch between points-of-view as the story is going on. Is this confusing to read? Should a writer stick with one pov, or is it all right to peek into multiple people's heads in the same chapter? What do you think?
Nah, I like the aspect of different points-of views. Chapter 1 started with Morgana and Gawain (at this point I thought that it would be a point-of-view story from Morgana's point of view, because the prologue was mostly about her :D), then the King is introduced, then Arthur, ... You get to know the characters at a slow pace and that's what I like. If everyone is introduced in one chapter, I'm done for.

I'm going somewhere else with all my blabla, sorry. What I want to say: I like being able to read multiple points of view!

Back to going somewhere else: I totally forgot about the prologue. The prologue was mysterious because I didn't knew a lot about the subject but hey, I like mysteries. Is Merlin going to return sometimes? In my head this story goes on until Arthur becomes the King and nobody ever heard of Merlin again (and everybody forgot him as a character in the prologue hahahaha), but then suddenly BOOM, there he is! XD

- My chapters tend to hover around 3,000 words, with some longer and some shorter. What do you think about the length? I sometimes have trouble hitting the right story beats with fewer words per chapter, but I realize that too long a chapter can overstay its welcome.
At first you may think 'ooooof that's long' but when you're actually reading, you're done before you know it. I think if you shorten the chapters, I would be like "Oh, is it already done?"

STORY
- What do you think about the main characters (Arthur, Gawain, Morgana)?
Morgana and Gawain stole my heart from the beginning. I wasn't super into Arthur at first (okay he's a handsome kid and probably even more handsome when growing up), but after talking with Gawain and loosing up a bit, I think he's also very nice.

- What do you think about the side characters (Uther, Richard, Gaius)?
Ehhhhhm, who's Richard again???? :D Is he that little black-haired boy? I even remember Agravaine more than Richard HAHAHAHAH oops.

I do Like Uther and Gaius in their unique ways. Okay, I want to stomp Uther in the butt for being so close minded, but he's actually a really nice father. Gaius is super chill and stole my heart after Chapter 1.4 - in the end where he helps Morgana out. Morgana stole my heart so I love everyone who's sweet towards Morgana.

- What is your favorite moment in the story, and what is your least favorite? Why?
The big 'Morgana is actually a witch'-reveal. Well, I think everybody had it somewhere in their mind, but when she really used her magic I was like "Yeahhhhhh, you go girl!"

- Where do you think the story is headed? Where would you like to see it go?
Merlin is going to come back at a very delicate time. WATCH MY WORDS.

VISUALS
- What do you think about the pictures taken? I have a habit of showing close-ups to showcase their emotions. Are they too close, or do you like them this way?
I like all of your pictures! I'm always wondering "How?!" because yeah I just can't do that. It's good. Super good.

- What do you think about the size? They're now 1200 x 675, and 1100 x 612 in the next chapter. Are they too big?
I don't think that the photo's are too big.

- In TS3, we could tilt the camera to give dynamic angles to our pictures. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do that in TS4. Did they remove the option?
Have you tried hitting the shift-button? :') Idk that's how I always take my pictures. Hit shift-button, 'walk' around with WASD, changing angles with my mouse (I always have my computer mouse in the screen so I need to click until it's away and then I can move around as much as I want) and when I take a picture, I hit C.

Am I making sense with this?

- For purposes completely unrelated to the story *cough* I need magic. All the magic. Do you have any good CC for visual effects? Alternatively, is it worth buying the Realm of Magic game pack?
I have the Realm of Magic game pack and I'm using it for my SimLit 'Wizardry Academy' but I'm not really far enough in the story to let you know how the magic is shown :D. Now I'm wondering... How on earth did you do Morgana's magic?

MISC
- The white pose statue and I are at war after I spawned him at the bottom of a pond by accident and forgot about him for a week. He has sworn watery revenge. I need allies. Are you with me, or against me?
I'm with you! That white pose statue likes to irritate me when I use it. It NEVER stands on the place where I want it.

- I like having my cast comment on things out-of-story. If you want, you can ask questions of them, and I'll write the answer from their POV (they may not be completely truthful, though :wink: )
Oof, I need to think about that but I'll give every character something soon! (I'm too lazy to think about it now and I still have a whole week hehe)
