Laura L Lani Sarem, the author of the book, stole Gil Del-Mace’s (an acclaimed painter) piece titled “The Knife Thrower” and commissioned another artist to tweak it slightly, so it would better resemble the main character, and she could use it as the front cover. She did not give the original artist credit. Sarem was then accused of plagiarism by Del-Mace’s agent and I believe lawyers got involved. I’m not sure what happened later, but perhaps they settled the case out of court. The most absurd part of this whole debacle is, there isn’t even a scene involving knife throwing in the book. The front cover is a reference to nothing. They stole it for no good reason.
And when the fanfic is to the power of ten times better than the original, because the original wasn't worth the slug under the tree from which the paper was made.

He actually went off That was a whole half hour of fanfiction fantasy I feel like I should be less surprised about this That was a really good story I kinda hope Sarem accepts this as canon
I absolutely love the subtle calling out of all the bad tropes Sarem used (and in light of the fact, that Lani planned on playing Zade on screen, making Zade an atrocious actress was just beautiful), the snark and the imagination. :D Kudos, Caleb, kudos. However, Nicholas Fire should’ve definitely been called Nick Anger. 😊
Hazel Productions omg I haven't gotten to that part yet but I thought the creepy alley guy was the biker. This is even better than I expected aah Edit: Okay it turns out I was right lol, but I thought by callback you were referring to an audition callback and I was like oooh karma, but I'm still loving this lol.

I just kept expecting that guy at the end to pull out an eye patch say “I’m hear to talk to you about the Magician’s Initiative” No but honestly the idea of a legitimate witch basically making a Spells for Dummies book is really cool.

Lowkey though you did great with this story like the hook at the end where the girl created her own villain that she has to fight nice Nice, Caleb we're proud
This is amazing. I came here from KrimsonRogue's review of handbook for mortals because someone in the comments recommended this video and I'm gonna do nothing but binge this channel right now. Your ideas are just incredible. And yes, I hope she steals them for book 2
*A Handbook for* those who have been flipped off their bike by an angsty hot girl with unexplainable magic and unexplainable everything in a story that for some reason doesn’t need common sense and *Mortals*
I put this in the background while drawing and forgot I was listening to your fanfiction 5 minutes in cause you were so good at writing this. Legit thought this was the sequel for a few minutes
I choked when you said "The King of Singapore" at 15:21 cos that's not a thing but it makes sense if the original author is writing it (btw Im Singaporean so)
Lol I love how every male character flirts with her and she flirts back. 😂😂😂 The best thing ever. Why have love triangles when you can have love circles. 😂
Tad was the married guy who was supposed to be played by the guy from American Pie. Jackson was the boyfriend. And the ONLY reason I remember that is because the boyfriend was named after Jackson Rathbone.
zade throwing an innocent hotel worker out the window while believing she's defending herself from being peeped when he was just out here doing his job is so in-character it hurts
... Or Do They?! You were headed toward the end and I was just ... It actually cannot end like this. It can't... And then you said it. Please please book three. I agree it's a trilogy. I'll laugh if this causes the author to come out of the woodwork.
