Steve friends, I am here once again, asking for your help.
The other day I saw a comment in the wild - entirely unrelated to me, my work or this story - that was kind of bitching about how annoying it is when ‘writers make Readers secret OCs 🙄’. And I felt a bit called out by it because the further into the story we go, the more and more Bella is not a blank canvas. She has a complex backstory and a pretty messy family situation. So while she can look however you want, she really has become an original character in all but physical description.
I told myself that if engagement dropped way like it usually does after the first chapter of a series, I would just do what I wanted and make her an OC like the rest of my girl gang. But miraculously engagement hasn’t dipped dramatically (kissing you all 😘🤍) so I want your opinion as readers:
