@AlbaAlmodovar1 Mira que yo solo he leรญdo trozos, pero los pocos que he leรญdo eran nefastos, parece que las traductoras no entendรญan quรฉ estaba pasando o algo ๐ญ
some acquaintances told me they read heated rivalry on their book club but didn't like it (which is fair), however, they read it in spanish (& from what I read, it's very awkwardly translated) and when they offered me to join, I saw they had a "no book series" rule (not fair!!)
Also they told me most of them also watched the show and loved it. Why is it such a different experience? I mostly blame it on the translation, because explicit scenes always sound weirder in your mother tongue
SECRET PROJECT REVEAL!!! in case you havenโt heardโฆ i finally got the all clear to share the art i did for the bookish box exclusive luxe edition of a little book called Heated Rivalryโฆ.WHAT!!!!! this is so crazy
writing fics set in america is so fun its like i'm larping being american. like yeaaaahhh coffee creamer. sophomore year. thanksgiving break. wow this is so fun
@ringthemoon I would even argue the show doesn't show this dynamic at all, friends who only saw the tv show complained they didn't understand why Shane ran after Ilya showed him a less casual attitude because they thought it was Shane who wanted to be less casual from the beginning
watching hr yet again and wondering if I'm in the wrong for reading the beginning of the second chapter not as them not doing anything but rather hooking up (sans penetrative sex) on hotel rooms during those years?
@1bighairedbitch Honestly, I don't think it will appear much because I don't think there's a context in the book in which it makes sense to use it? but I can check my copy (in fact I will because I'm curious now)
What if Shane, who loves validation and pointers and knowing he's doing good, subconsciously picks something Ilya does after a great encounter (pre cottage era) and assesses how good he was in bed based on that? Like, if he needs to smoke it was great etc.
