rynlingI finished reading the rest of the novel this afternoon, and my goodness. It's good.
The descriptions are evocative, the dialogue is snappy, the romance is spicy, and the plot is a well-oiled machine. The story stands on its own as a cohesive AU, but it's also meticulously faithful to the source material while still offering a sensitive, nuanced, and unique reading. The voices of the canonical characters are pitch-perfect, while the voice I created for Ganondorf fits the character remarkably well. I found and corrected three typos and rewrote a paragraph in one of the later chapters, but the story is surprisingly polished and well-edited. The illustrations are quite nice as well.
Because my life is filled with low metric numbers and many rejections, I've become convinced that I'm a mediocre writer, but I think Malice is objectively a well-written and compelling story.
Now I'm kind of curious about my earlier fanfic novel, The Legend of the Princess. I might not be able to work on it this year, but I'd like to return to it soon. I'm sure the writing could use an update, and I'm tempted to add a few NSFW scenes. I'd also like to commission a new cover illustration to advertise the story on social media when it's ready.
Idk man. If these stories were written specifically for me, then I might as well enjoy them.
