I've had this post in my drafts for so long, and it's finally time to post it! Shout out to my awesome beta readers: @katwagnerwrites, @stories_of_delle, @sabez_writes, and @authormakaelasellers, who left a ton of fun (and helpful) comments on The Twelve Kingdoms. This is not even close to all of the comments, but it is a handful of my favorites.

Gear up for some beta content, folks! I'm honestly so happy with their responses to this question. I feel like prologues are pretty hit or miss (even when they're necessary, they aren't always fun to read), so it's great to know that my readers enjoyed mine 🥰.

✨more badly drawn card style fanart✨
Once again I used references on the internet or the book itself to draw these lol

Here are the books/WIPS/characters in order
1. B for Basil, the MC of Not the Heir by Hudson Warm 🔑
2. Unmasked and Unlocked by McKenna Rowell; with E for Emily and L for Locke 🔒
3. S for Sabre Black by Arianna Fox ⚔️
4. M for Mackenzie (or Mack? Heheh) from The Half Glass Girl by Julie Mozart 🍵
5. Lawrence and Tabitha from TUQ and OTCC by Lauren D. Fulter 🔥🌶 I tried to draw tiny purple-hair Tabitha but sadly it did not turn out v well 🥲
6. Captain Slate Raven from Kat Wagner’s TRR 🏴‍☠️— I tried two different cards for him and I swear the swords I drew look like screwdrivers 😭
7. …
…
…Cowboy Joe…
From…Makaela Sellers’s story games…🤠

In honor of the writing community, I got as many writers as I could think of to do this reel in celebration of all of us being the future of literature. I could only fit so many names in the reel, so if you are part of the writing community, you are still part of literature’s future, and don’t you forget it.
