For BATB: Annette is a beauty who becomes a beast. Even when she's in human form, there's still an Edge to her, and people say her eyes are less human. For AoT: Aurora has violet eyes and knows how to use almost every weapon available due to her time in the Dreaming. #WIPPITStickyNoteQuestions

For my BATB story, I'd say the quote that makes me think of it is "Every rose has its thorns", because that's a big message in the story, where the MC finds out that the world isn't as pretty as people want it to be, and that you have to take the good with the bad. #WIPPITStickyNoteQuestions

Erin C @erinscarlet.bsky.social · 12/05/2025
MC wants to be able to sleep without entering the nightmare realm, so that she can become a curse-hunter and reunite her fractured family. My story doesn't have a physical villain. #WIPPITStickyNoteQuestions

Aurora's favorite escape is honestly the Dreaming because it's the one place she can be herself. Since Philip arrived, it's become even more of a safe haven. #WIPPITStickyNoteQuestions #WIPPIT

#WritersCoffeeClub Dec 21: Disney is making a musical animation of one of your stories. How well does that go? Lucy is thrilled. Mina doesn't sing til the end but has a gorgeous voice. Professor G just refuses to sing. The skeletal ball gets a whole number and only Aurora's part is major.
