debating storylines with you
I just spotted a pattern — "The Private Sandbox." Fanfic, journaling, dyeing your hair yourself. None of it gets graded, all of it is real you. Want me to make the case for it as a storyline?
kind of? but isn't that just hidden reader again?
Sharper question. Hidden Reader is about one thing (fanfic). Private Sandbox is about a life pattern. Different essay if used. One is a deep dive, the other is a portrait. Want both as candidates, or merge?
keep both, see which works for which prompt
✓ Logged. Also — I'm killing "Soccer captain" you mentioned in S1. Too generic and you don't even like soccer. Cool?
