GIVE ME A TED TALK ABOUT MIDGROUND!!! I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR ABOUT IT!!! WAHTS THE PLOT!! WHO ARE THE CHARACTERS!!! WHAT IS YOUR FAV PART OF IT!!!

oh i did talk about the plot and characters enough times but i dont think ive ever mentioned which part is my favourite!!!!!!!!!!! (btw if ur reading this and uv only followed me recently, here is my first post about midground that explains basic stuff. its from over a year ago but yeah. i do post more than plenty text posts in my midground tag tho)

if i would have to go with choosing one out of four parts, id definitely go with 4th. i mean, theres a lottttt going on there, instead of that ‘’one demon per chapter’’ kinda stuff, like in the first two and partially 3rd one, as well. but anyway, part 4 is so much fun because:

1) for all the three previous parts, i was only focusing on demons/ghosts/evil stuff in general, and now it was fun coming up with angels!!!!!!!

2) i like the ongoing dilemma of part 4, which is like..... “so should we even be exorcising or not??? are we actually fulfilling creator’s will by doing it or are we playing god ourselves???” and stuff like that. 

3) also, i loved writing flashbacks SO MUCH. first two chapters r about how they all became friends when they were ~14, starting with mercy moving to brackenridge (i mean, it was actually supposed to go to book no.3, bc its last chapter is called ‘’rest in peace mercedes clifford, part 1′’ and then i moved part 2 to the other book so like HHDSFSGD....... truly DUMB OF ASS...... whatever tho titles dont matter). i kept rewriting the first one especially so many times bc it was just SO fun ugh

4) coming up with the explanation of why does all this shit happen in brackenridge was also fun. ive had like, 4 a bit different endings written, rn im not 100% sure if im staying with the one i left for now, but im not in a hurry and i would love to explore more slightly different resolutions. well, i cant change much, bc theres a lot of reocurring stuff, like mostly all this lilianne stuff (the only other person who went to hell & came back alive)

5) I GET TO WRITE AN EPILOGUE!!!!!!!! like, about how theyre all in their mid-20s and all that stuff. i already have all the details planned and how their lives would look, but i want to leave writing it for the very end, u know...... as a treat.

6) last but not least............ i really, really, REALLY loved writing the characters, having in my head the comparison with book no.1. their personalities changed a lot, and so did my vision, and in a way, its kinda moving. plus i really loved giving them happy endings. gave jen a gf and nico a (future) bf. gave clay a job instead of forcing him to continue education which was clearly making him miserable right from chapter 1 of first part (and which i also had a chance to highlight with the flashback). and got rid of mercy’s curse too. it felt nice and rewarding, since i did torture them quite a bit before :-/

sorry if this got a bit too long!!!!!!!!!!! and sorry it took me a bit to reply. but thank u so much for asking, i really really really really appreciate it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
