Hi everyone! This has been a long time coming. I spent a month on this SCP gathering critique, making, revising, and reviewing. It took a lot longer than I expected! But that’s okay. I tried to put my best writing into this piece, but I have a concern that it might not bring the amount of emotional resonance that I want the reader to have. I can confidently say that I tried to be better than 90% of the articles that get deleted from this site, but I hope that this article stays up and fits the standards of this site. If not, that’s okay, I can either try again or try something else.
I will like to thank Uncle Nicolini and
DrRevan for greenlighting this article, and double thanks to
DrRevan for taking the time to read the entire draft and giving an excellent critique that immensely helped me improve this article. To whoever is reading this, thanks for reading my article, and I hope that you have a great rest of your day!
Edit: You know what, I feel like I should give credit to the original greenlighters and the people who gave feedback of this article, as this was a newer version of an article originally created before I deleted my first account, and that newer version could not be possible without the feedback that they gave. So, I will like to thank DianaBerry,
REDESERT, and
Jacob Conwell for giving feedback on my original idea,
cacbbi and
Leveritas for greenlights, and especially
Fireknight for giving an immensely helpful critique on my original barebones draft, and for putting the article on the front page all those months later. You helped me learn a lot about dialogue and characterization, and I cannot thank you enough for all the work that you’ve done for me. Hope you’re doing well.
