This Is Definitely Not A Published Reylo Novel

I like to put these on when I lie down for the night. Thanks for reading me a bedtime story!

Adam Drayer

Reign of Snakes (working title)

Dundough Breadbox

great work jenny this video is one of your best.

Christopher Reedman

Omg I laughed so hard when you brought up the prologue

Christopher Reedman

I feel strongly that any movie adaptation of this book should have every character except Jass and Reza be muppets.

Neil Dutton

And when two people not only share a Force bond, but also love each other very much, they engage in Force bondage.

Steve Ray

Lots of cinemas allow auditorium rentals, and most projectors run off digital streams...this dream could easily come true.

Steve Ray

Feature length! I'd watch this in a cinema. (And I haven’t been to a cinema since TLJ.)

Stuart Payne

This is a great video Jenny, I really enjoyed it. I agree with pix that I felt a bit uncomfortable about potentially slam-dunking on the author, but I think this was handled quite well at the end. Guess internet viewers need reminding that writing a full novel - no matter how incoherent the story or full of grammatical errors it is - is incredibly difficult and always an accomplishment to be congratulated, never discarded out of hand. By the way - totally not accusing Jenny or you guys of this at all, it's just something I wanted to express. I'm an author and seeing loads of people making fun of my books would make me really upset - but then I put *lots* more work into my books than the author of Black Moon Rising seemed to, with all the typos and incongruities pointed out in this video. And I think that's the key, because then slam-dunking is a lot less likely.

Jonathan Baldie

Ah there is so much I love about this video. Even my niggling concern that we were bullying the author by taking such joy in Jenny's reactions is addressed at the end. I'm a little worried that Jenny will follow in Carrie Fisher's footsteps and become a famous script doctor but won't be able to turn her hilarious hot takes on first drafts into entertaining videos for copyright / NDA reasons.

I'm glad this video ends with some kind words for the author and an encouragement for us to be nice. Jenny's learning to use her powers for good.

Jerry Nicholson

I started reading reading the first chapter and then had a sudden desire to wipe my phone and then set it on fire. Did enjoy the summary of the rest. With all its flaws writing a book is an accomplishment. The author desires a lot of credit.

Sean Kelly

"Lee-verage," as in "Lee's Ghost."

Steve Ray

the cliffnotes being canon bit made me laugh way too hard

Blake Norwood

Yea, that metaphors still whack

Alexander Young

It means the cliffs notes reference was foreshadowing? Or an accidental spoiler.

Alexander Young

In case you didn’t get my dream message I wanted to say I liked this video.

Warm spray

I do love the book reading videos, but this one is a bit of letdown coming so soon after the Trigger Warning video which was such a masterpiece. I still enjoyed this, just not as much as some of the past books.

Will Seamon

Oh man, I've only watched the first 12 minutes or so, but the enthusiasm is contagious, nay, virulent!

Stephen Notley

Follow up on force bond: It was a major theory in reylo fandom pre-TLJ as far as I can tell, due to clues on the online database. So I hugely doubt it is a coincidence.

Sarah Batista-Pereira

It's a snake storm! Also, not to sound nitpicky, but I had no idea some people pronounce "leverage" with a hard e. But the dictionary says both pronunciations are correct. I learned something new.

Blue Corn

I'm extremely confused. I'm at that bit in which we discover they are earthlings. Does that mean that "light withdraw" is actually vitamin D deficiency? Seems plausible.

Roxane Barbey

Word! I hate how the #1 hobby these days is being part of a lynch mob. Even if something is flawed or has a dissonant view, that doesn't mean it's evil, and it doesn't need to be attacked.

Steve Ray

There's at least one live romance scene when Fighter Pilot is running around and comes to Rey's room, saying that Kylo didn't sleep in his bed last night, he just took off his one set of clothes* and vanished, and she's like, "OMG don't open that door!" --------- *Like on Gilligan's Island

Steve Ray

Hope that's the new t-shirt design!

Luis

There make be snakes in space?

Alexander Young

Same here it was a really great idea on Jenny's part and I didn't even know Amazon had giveaways!

Luis

A lens can be distorting and opaque if viewed from the outside, like the mirrored lenses of a state trooper's sunglasses.

Steve Ray

"Fallacious"

Steve Ray

I think it's Kylo on the left and Rey on the right, or else a Renaissance-royalty-style adaptation.

Steve Ray

This was great. It super bums me out that people actually head on over to Amazon to blast the authors of books you review, though. What the heck.

Chelsea Clark

Idea: Patreon exclusive reading of the first chapter. But seriously, what a great find.

Bill Lehecka

Same

Josh Liam

I don’t know WHY I wanted to win that book so badly, but I really really did.

Serena Lee

Going forward, I would love to see a wild celebration of snakes anytime they're mentioned in whatever it is your video is about (like someone saying the secret word on Pee-wee's Playhouse)... and is it just me, it was there no actual romance in this story outside of the dream sequences Jenny didn't read?

Update: absolutely no regrets

The Doom Merchant

SNAKES IN SPACE

Luis

General Clifton Egregious, according to my notes.

Matthew McCoy

Looks like my phone is listening to me watch this video. This is the targeted ad I just got: <a href="https://i.imgur.com/VsWslZy.png" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://i.imgur.com/VsWslZy.png</a>

Matt Skuta

GENERAL Egregious

Jenny Nicholson

Oh my goodness, these metaphors are killing me. “You’re like a lens...cap.” “Someone get these motha fuckin snakes off this motha fuckin star cruiser.” Title scroll was a nice touch, btw. And I feel I must note that between this book and the last, you’ve been fair in your critiques and analysis, unlike a lot of others who would have torn these stories to shreds and made a joke of them based solely upon their premises or reputations alone, which would be...like, I want to say...fallic? Fallacial?But that can’t be right. You point out the work’s strengths as well as making light of its weaknesses,which I admire, is what I’m saying. And that is why, Ms. Nicholson, I consider your readings to be so much more sophisticated, no matter how bad or good the quality of the writing might be. That shit’s legit classy and classy legit. I dig it. “Okay, this is not what the force is for, you guys.”

Alexander Young

oh no

ZBL

oh man, i'm glad i don't have to be at work tomorrow.

anthony grey

It's 11:58pm and I have to be up at 7 but ｆｕｃｋ ｉｔ

The Doom Merchant

is that shirt a picture of Kylo Ren as a Sims 2 child

Leonard Pollard

Was this published at 9:46pm? Yes. Is this video 1 hr 43 minutes and 20 seconds long? Yes. Am I going to stay up until 11:30 watching this even though I have to wake up early for work tomorrow? YES.

Tyler James

You use the word egregious several times at the beginning of this video. I will be very disappointed if a character named Darth Egregious doesn't show up at some point.

Matthew McCoy

I just got back from LA and I'm grinning from ear to ear. This was the first thing I saw in my sub box!

Jonathan Alvizuri

ms. nicholson please i'm not strong enough for this.

DichotomicDidact

His force was strong with this one
