Wow, i love this series and concept. Charlie was SO close to truly getting what he wants. Question: since this is a community series, is it alright if someone else adds a chapter in this series? I'm asking because i really love this concept and i kinda want to write a story with it. And if i can, could i write the story with a whole different cast and plot (kinda like an anthology) or should i just use the characters and write the story like it originally is but with different events? (for example, if Charlie wrote the professor to have a heart tattoo or something). I really like this story and I'm glad that you're writing it, have a nice day!

@BlackJaxus huh. Good question. I guess use your own characters? It would make the most sense. Maybe as long as its clear that it's the same concept, same notebook (a separate copy, obviously, with any notebook). Take a swing at it.

@Oddballs Wow thanks for answering! i only have a few questions so i understand how notebook works better. Can you change peoples past with the notebook, like if someone were to change a persons past and memories so that they worked at a convenient store for all their life, would that work? Can the notebook change a persons physical appearance, like giving a person a beard, or can it only make mental changes? Can the Notebook give mental changes that give knowledge and intelligence they wouldn't normally know such as "This person can now speak and understand fluent spanish"? and can the notebook change reality, such as if a person wants to make it so that their jobless best friend works at bowling alley, would the change happen? I'm sorry if these questions were already answered by the story or were answered somewhere else, I just want to understand the limitations. Thank you for your patience.

@BlackJaxus Alright here's the answers in order: 1) The notebook CANNOT rewrite the past as far as people's personal backgrounds go - the only thing that comes close to changing the past is ripping out a used page to undo what was done. 2) The notebook CANNOT instantly change someone’s appearance, like drawing a beard would not make one grow overnight. It only adds or changes them mentally or emotionally with quirks. For physical changes to happen, the drawing on the page would have to have a beard, and the person the sketch is about would just stop shaving until the beard is grown. Or else have to write down a quirk that says ‘has an eating habit’ or ‘works out religiously everyday’ if you had wanted them to turn fat or muscular. Or drawing a specific outfit would make them go out and buy or acquire the outfit in question – hence why Prof Dover got himself a skimpy speedo and a thong. 3) The notebook CANNOT give them additional knowledge like instantly learning another language… Or maybe it can? I haven’t given that notion much thought, to be honest. It’s definitely a grey area, I guess. In this case, I might say that for a second language to happen, the person being drawn would have a very easy learning curve for taking on another dialect. 4) The notebook CANNOT change reality itself, other than the fail-safe page ripping reset. But it can find ways to make it happen; if you were to write that the person’s friend works at the bowling alley, the person in question would turn in a job application and get hired promptly.

Great concept! And a wonderful story. Keep it up!

The term "fuckboy" is anachronistic for the period you portrayed here. I know you're playing in a slightly adjacent alternate universe. I just provide this information as an FYI. It's a good idea to nail down little dialogue details like this when you are going to time jump a story. It can really help sell a jump, or possibly confuse it. Almost all of the curse words that we use now existed in the 70s, 80s, and 90s but people used them less. The further back you go the less frequently they were used and the more shocking they were to the ear.

The dog arguing through the kids toy was hilarious but from the perspective of the barista it would have been terrifying. Also, intelligent people take it seriously when a dog communicates (through available means) that they do not like you.

This is getting good

Option 1- werewolves, please

What a great pup story. Most, if not all, dog transformation stories are against their will (not complaining). However, you broke that mould by telling a perfect story of transformation and romance, tender but also dark with Charles' past human side. It ended beautifully. 5 Woofs.
