Like… fear that someone on here will steal it and there will be copyright issues? that's valid, but at the same time, I feel like no one on here would do that, we're all pretty dedicated to helping each other out. But you know, whatever you're most comfortable with.
Maybe I can private message you about it?
ooh @AmericasFavoriteFightingFrenchGirl_LAFFETTE! an origin story of a female mad hatter would be amazing! or Cheshire cat…
Maybe I can private message you about it?
Sure! but if you don't use the mad hatter origin story idea I totally will lol
No actually it's something different. But yes it will involve wonderland.
@kat_i_am
have you figured where you're starting this story? I think either the end of the rebellion against the queen of hearts or right after it, so there's some background into what's going on with Wonderland politically, but also, so the rebellion isn't shifted into full focus, since your story is all about Alice, not Queen Alice.

I was thinking I would start it mid/end rebellion, yes to give pol background, and partly cause I don't wanna write another rebellion (that's the main plot of my trilogy) lol. And def, I want to focus on Alice. Yes, being a queen is part of her story now, but she's also just a kid!
Yes, go ahead!
I had no idea you could PM on this site. hah

Dude, apparently you didn't fill out the entire form so I can't really p.m you.
Also, I looked back a page, you.mentioned having about 4 sections thought out (flashbacks/background, rebellion, Peter and Alice reunion, one other one)
how far into the story is Peter going to show up?
it's seems like so far you've got a good starting point, and a solid ending, with a few events happening in between
@AmericasFavoriteFightingFrenchGirl_LAFFETTE!
Okay, how do I do that? I just joined this site like… a few days ago. like 2?
RN I have a flashback story with them as younger kids (I mean, I guess Peter is still the same age lol) but when Alice was younger, and it's just going to be snippets of conversation. So everyone knows from the start of the story (or somewhere near that) that Alice and Peter were friends, and understand Alice's obsession with an eternal childhood. Then I'm thinking Peter comes back in for the last 3rd or so

How would you guys feel about reading a prologue that's like…
You know the story of Alice in Wonderland. Or, rather, you think you know the story. You think it is a story of a girl who gets carried away in her imagination, carried to a fantastical land of Cards and tea and talking animals.
That story isn't quite true.
Wonderland is not a figment of Alice Liddel's imagination. Or anyone's imagination. It is a real place, just as real as Earth, as real as Neverland.
And, like any country, the government isn't perfect. So come, and enter the tumult of Wonderland politics at this moment.
well, it certainly grabs my attention, who wouldn't want to see Wonderland and politics clashing together(:
Alright- the direct address of the reader isn't weird or bad or anything?
Well, that is personal preference. Usually, I dislike addressing the reader, but that's just me.
It's not bad, or weird, not something that would make me not want to read it, because, hell yeah I would read it(:
Maybe… the prologue could be someone that's around for the ending of the story, and kind of writing out to the reader, the life of Alice (just in the prologue, as I'm assuming this will be 1st person?) Then the direct address would just be exactly that
And I like the little mention of Neverland.
Ooh I like that. Maybe I could tell it from Peter's perspective, but at the same time, that may give stuff away. OR I COULD END THE STORY WITH THE SAME POV/ADDRESS AND THEY FIND OUT THEN THAT IT'S PETER bc honestly he's the only one with her as she dies (i'm gonna cry I'm such a mean author)
oh yeah, thatd be awesome!
read the ending, oh what, that was Peter at the beginning!?
mean writers are the best, they make riskier moves and have less happy endings. which in my book, is always better.
YES EXACTLY
Thank you that was a v good idea to have it be someone that is with her at the end
oof lol
I actually love sad endings. Like I love happy endings, but like…. sad endings my dude. Or happy endings that are happy but not the way you expected them to be happy.
Like maybe my two favorite characters died, but everyone else is able to start moving forward and healing
