Today Caitlyn and Charlie discuss reusing elements in a series, such as the same climax, same villains, and same premises between books. As a side note, Charlie doesn't understand ASMR videos.

CHECK OUT CAITLYN'S NEW BOOK HERE. It's finally BIRTHED! (And spicy, be warned.) You can also scope out Charlie's nonfiction on writing magic systems here, and the fourth book of the Whimbrel House series (much less spicy than Caitlyn's, but there is some skinny-dipping) here.

Why is it that the most popular, well-loved books are also the most hated? Today Caitlyn and Charlie dig into why people criticize "bad" books and why we love them so much.
