Grats on 200k... But damn, that's almost 70k in one upload. I'll have to save this for later; it's 3+ hours of reading for me. Do consider breaking the chapters into smaller chunks for practicality of reading...
Edit: Yeah, definetly has enough breaking points to justify a split or four. Probably into two chapters of multiple parts, since it's damn near a book in itself (by length).
Broken toasters? Adventure ending knee injuries? God the references are starting to hurt, nice job with the chapters, and I think I can actually see something big you have planned for candy later. Or soon maybe, considering the chapters you update with are longer than some stories.
6145155 Thank you! One of the primary reasons I started writing in the first place was because I wanted to reach out and pluck heartstrings. Knowing that I was somehow able to evoke such a strong emotional response in anyone at all is overwhelmingly satisfying. I'm really glad that you liked it!
As far as the cliché goes. Yep, you're right. A deathbed confession scene has been done plenty of times by plenty of people. Clichés are interesting. On the one hand, we all know them because we've seen them a hundred times, and it's easy for them to feel tired and unimaginative. On the other hand, we've all seen them a hundred times because, if done correctly, they work by appealing to a large audience. In the words of Terry Pratchett, “The reason that clichés become clichés is that they are the hammers and screwdrivers in the toolbox of communication.”
That being said, I try not to overuse them. If I do know that I want to write a cliché then I usually try to give it a little twist or three to try and shake it up. Nadira's inability to come straight out and tell Candy what she wanted her to know, for example. Instead of a massive character revelation or something similar the poor girl was saddled with nothing but a riddle and a heap of guilt.
Thanks again for the feedback! I love hearing both praise and criticism! Next chapter should be out before too long. I hope you stick around!
SO CLOSE! My last guess before what I ended up posting was even closer, missing only Moonshine. I hate myself for thinking it was dumb now.
