Let’s hear you theory’s about what would happen if a story was different? Eg. What if Harry Potter was a Slytherin? What if Neville was the chosen one? What if Bella chose Jacob.....

Artemis ✨ (artemis_goddessofthemoon) | 581 comments what if all readers are just the souls of dead storytellers and writers and we all love specific genres because it was the genre our writer souls loved and the books you love is just the pathway in which your soul escapes a little bit into your books. and when you write it's your storytelling soul that is released , letting the ink of your heart flow into the paper of your dreams

 kelsie (taylor's version)  | 801 comments What if Harry Potter was never accepted by publishers and no one got to read it?


message 16: by MoonLight (new)

MoonLight | 1519 comments That one was actually happening. Did you know that?
J.K said that no one actually wanted to print the first Harry Potter and she really struggled to get it published. As the answer I don't think it would be really important, people would cling to some other fantasy novel and Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson wouldn't become rich actors😂


 kelsie (taylor's version)  | 801 comments Yeah, wasn't she rejected by 12 publishers before one accepted?

I love how Rupert Grint still isn't that famous even though he played Ron lol

Daniel Radcliffe was already an actor, kind of. He was in David copperfield. But he did got famous because of Harry Potter, so you are probably right,

Even Daniel and Emma still haven't appeared in splendid movies. Emma has had some good ones, but Daniel's are mostly b.s. Sometimes I think that by adapting some novels we actually ruin them. I mean how many people have seen Harry Potter movies, but haven't read the novels which are much greater?

What if our universe was just a fragment of another creature's mind, thoughts, or ideas?

Hmm…this is interesting, but how do you define craziness ? Doesn’t it mean acting strange, abnormal and different from others ?

So, everyone acted the same way, then you are normal, not ‘strange’.

This reminds me of a book I read where the mc gets forcibly transferred to an alien world where everyone ate …through their armpits. Our mc tried eating from his mouth and was defined ‘crazy’ by others. So, in this case, mc is normal by our terms but crazy by alien terms.

Does that make sense ?
