The Witch in the Woods is sooo good!! What is she going to do to yn on that altar? Is yn going to remember who she was before?? Is yn still a witch since she has been reborn??? If she doesn't remember, will she grow to love Wanda again???? This was a great read!!!!
Hi there!
Well, where's the fun in telling you all that?
I will say that Y/N is a witch, yes. She hasn't been trained and she doesn't know the first thing about magic, but she does have a gift for it. That's why she was able to help her mother, even if they didn't succeed in the end.
I'm glad you got so exited about the story and that you liked it! Thank you!
[Wow, what a cool piece of art of The Witch! @lyinginbedmon. Bet you wish you could be as cool as @flare-fallen-angel and get a doodle by donating £20+ to Lying’s Transition Fund and Asking me about it]
The Skeleton of the Woods meets the Witch in the Woods (Hydra meets Rosemary: A friendship is born)
Warning: Super short. Also includes blood and falling.
"Oh!" Hydra sighed gently as she struggled to concentrate after hearing a feminine voice call to her. She could barely see out of her now-cracked eye. "That was definitely a fall!" She hears the voice again and feels someone touch her hand. She tries to keep her balance as she notices a human's hazel eyes staring back at her. She shivers.
"W-Who-" Hydra tries to say something, and the human raises her hands in a "it's okay" gesture. "Where-"
"I'm Rosemary and you… took a really bad fall." Rosemary attempts to calm down. She digs through her bag. "Here-" Rosemary wipes her face with a damp towel. In pain, Hydra hisses. Rosemary smiles as she glances at her and blinks. "And you? Can you tell me your name?" Rosemary began treating her injuries gradually. Hydra was taken aback for a few seconds before taking a breath.
"My name is Hydra…" Hydra responds quietly. Rosemary smiles as Hydra glances at her. She reclines on her heels.
I am finishing up edits for the Witch in the Woods, a novel I wrote several years ago and now am editing in the hopes of publishing it someday, and I think it would be useful to have a reader go over it (or parts of it) and give some feedback, mainly on plot, pacing, characters and their development, relationships, story structure etc. I am quite good at making small changes in the writing but I'm not so good at identifying the bigger, structural problems.
The Witch in the Woods is YA dark historical fantasy and a retelling of Hansel and Gretel at currently 84.500 words.
Cw: parental abuse, cannibalism (the witch eats children), blood, some gore, mentions of rape
Gretel is a witch. In her medieval village, this is a secret she must keep at all costs, or risk death at the hand of the witch hunt. When a spell backfires, her witch hunter mother learns her secret and sends Gretel into the woods to die.
When Hansel learns what happened to his sister, he follows her. Together, the siblings find a house in the middle of the woods made out of gingerbread, the home of the infamous Witch in the Woods. When Hansel is captured, Gretel must use all the magic she has to save him, and to determine once and for all who is the deadliest witch in the woods.
I just wanted to say that I loved "The Witch In The Woods." The writing is so beautiful. How you described everything with the words you used really drew me into the story. I was so caught up in the twists and turns of it all. It was such a creative and interesting plot that i hope you continue <3
Hi!
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your thoughts! I'm always so excited to read new comments.
I'm glad you liked the story. I definitely have ideas about where this could lead and how it can progress further... This story is actually my new obsession. I was so hyped about it that I wrote it in 3 sittings.
Thank you again, for reaching out! I really appreciate it ☺️
