When Michelle @The Writing Hufflepuff published her original Your WIP in Gifs Tag, I was keeping my fingers crossed that she had tagged me – AND SHE DID! As you can see, I am really excited already. I love talking about Arcadia (even though I should probably channel that excitement to actually write some more) and while this isn’t exactly easy, I imagine it to be a whole lot of fun!
THE RULES
💛 Thank the person who tagged you
💛 Credit the creator of this tag (Michelle!) and link back to this post so she can find out allll about your WIPs!
💛 Try to limit the amount of gifs you use per question – I’d say maybe stick to five or less but I’m not the boss of you
THE QUESTIONS
Sum up your WIP in 4 gifs!
This looks hella bleak … it’s not all bleak?
Time to introduce your main characters!
Because there are so many characters, I am going to try and do ONE gif per person. Wish me luck!
Kasia

Dyson


Georgie

Findlay

Leo

How would your main character react in a crisis?


If you were to meet your main characters, how would you react?


And if you were to meet your antagonist?

Is there any romance in your WIP? How would you sum it up in gifs?
Kas and Dyson 5ever! (All of the chosen visuals are from before they were tragically separated.)

How do other characters feel about this ship?

How do you want people to react to reading your WIP?
I TAG THEE
- Beth @Reading Every Night
- Savannah @The Book Prophet
- Melissa @Bookish Wanderer
- Sophie @Sophie’s Corner
- WHOEVER WANTS TO DO THIS TAG!
How did you like this tag? Would you read Arcadia? If you have already, do you think my gifs were fitting? Let’s chat!
Ahhh Kat I love your gifs so much!! This just reminds me that I need to read Arcadia on Wattpad because?? THIS ALL SOUNDS SO EXCITING Your characters sound like so much fun though those first gifs really make me worried haha. Also I love that you’d just want to steal Dyson hahaha (poor Kasia though haha)

Hello Kat! Thank you for the tag! They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I guess a GIF would be worth ten thousand? 😀
I liked learning more about your story and your characters through the GIFs! I think I can relate to Dyson the most 🙂 That is awesome that your story is on Wattpad. Your cover is lovely 🙂 How do you find Wattpad so far? I have been considering putting my novel on there for a loooong time (but keep having cold feet hahaha :’) )

Hey Sophie! I am so glad you like the tag 🙂
I really like having my story up on wattpad. It feels like a pretty safe option, because you cannot just copy the text from the stories that are online. And I have gotten really good feedback. The only thing that annoys me a little is that the app sometimes glitches and doesn’t portray the entire chapter, but it happens rarely. I am sure people would love to read at least a couple sample chapters if you don’t want to put up the entire story.

That’s great to hear your thoughts about Wattpad! I am thinking about putting my story up there, however I’m not too sure if I have time to get involved in the community there.. Do you find that it takes a lot of time out of your day?

Honestly … I am rarely ever on wattpad myself, unless a friend tells me they have a story there. So, when someone who didn’t come from my blog finds Arcadia,I am always pleasantly surprised.

Oh thanks so much for the tag Kat. This seems like such a fun one and I really can’t wait to get started (I’m already trying to think of the perfect gifs I can use for each question).
Honestly seeing the gifs you’ve picked has made me want to read your WIP and read more about your WIP! I love the gif you picked for Leo’s character, and the ones you chose for Dyson and Kasia’s relationship has kind of made me low-key ship them myself as well!
Great post, and again thanks so much for the tag! 😀 ❤

Yeah, I have set the standards for this story way too high. The current wattpad version definitely isn’t on par with it, but maybe I can actually make the finished and polished version that. At least I hope so. And illustrations, wow … you are putting me to work there haha

Thank you so much! It really means a lot to me. It is still a work in progress, so I hope you’ll forgive some mishaps. It’s honestly the first draft and I am wondering more often than not why I am crazy enough to share it with the world. But feedback keeps me motivated. So, if you find the time, I really hope to hear back from you after you read a chapter or two, but NO PRESSURE!!!
And I’d love to read or more accurately look at gifs about your WIP!

hehehe I love all the gifs!! Your summary gifs are just great!! hahahaha your gifs for Kasia and Dyson are brilliant!! hehehe I love that you’d have a positive reaction to meeting your babies (this may sound weird out of context- it just so happens I was having a conversation with my friend the other day about how many bad things we’ve done to our characters and I realised that most of them would want to kill me- in fact, one definitely would, so if I had a gif it’d be running in the opposite direction 😉 ) hahahah love the me on my way to stealing your man gif!! Yeah my antagonists would kill me too. Aww your gifs for the romance are so cute!! And there are definitely all those reactions to your work (and I’ve only read the first few chapters!) Wonderful post!! laughed so much!
