Demon Guard Teaser!
Posted by houndrat on Tuesday Jan 5, 2010 Under writingIn case anyone is wondering what DG is about, a fellow crit group member (the amazing Amy Bai) summed it up as Mean Girls meet Harry Potter. That totally works for me–although, I could also go with Veronica Mars meet Something-Vampire-Academy-esque-But-Without-the-Vampires. Um, yeah. Maybe I should stick with my crit partner’s version.
At any rate, this Teaser follows shortly after the one a few weeks ago, where the MC Summer discovers that a lewd photo of her and Billy, a guy she despises, was photo-shopped and sent around the school. This is Billy catching up with her afterwards. Oh, and, if this is your first time–the MC has been hearing voices for a few days now. As usual, all comments welcomed and appreciated!
SNIPPED!

Jerk! I want to punch Billy in the head!!! (And this is good.) LOL. Your ending is great. Since I haven’t read any of your work before, it makes me wonder… is Shade going to jump in and go for it? And is your MC character going to help him? Fab tease!

I LOVED this in FNW and I still love it. Summer’s voice is compelling as always and the tension is just like woah. Awesome teaser

I agree with MC’s sentiment! Off with his head!

Another brilliant bit! ‘Mean girls meet Harry Potter’, I love that.
I also loved this line:
“Let her go right now, or I’m going to turn your face into something that really makes the girls scream. And not in a good way.”
I just love the little flashes of snark and humor in your writing. It just has a real ‘spark’ about it. Great stuff, as always.

Shade made me swoon in this teaser!! <3

I agree with Vero. I read last teaser, but haven’t heard about Shade yet. Now I want more of his yumminess. I love him already. And I hate Billy. What an ass! Great description with her choking. Well done! Liking this a lot.

I’d also throw a Buffy comparison in there for the Whedon-esq banter (which I LOVE)
January 5th, 2010 at 10:11 am
I remember that line.
I am definitely liking Shade more and more. It’s nice to see him defending Summer. That connection between them is great. More!
January 5th, 2010 at 10:22 am
Ooh, Shade to the rescue! Love that line.
You need to send me the whole thing!!!

I just love the feel of this story, it’s unique and funny and makes me laugh out loud again and again.
January 5th, 2010 at 10:32 am
Mean Girls meet Harry Potter. Awesome. Love both.
I want to know where this is going.
And hair yanking is horrible. I wanna kill that guy!
January 5th, 2010 at 10:47 am
MAN I LOVE DG! Seriously. LOVE.
January 5th, 2010 at 11:06 am
Dude. I can tell I’m going to <33 Shade. ^.^
January 5th, 2010 at 11:23 am
SHADE! YES! <3 Shade. And the fact that you used the word "hurl." And the part about his coffee breath– very specific. I must read more.
January 5th, 2010 at 1:11 pm
Very tense throughout and I love the car salesman line and the last paragraph.
January 5th, 2010 at 1:27 pm
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! I. LOVE. THIS. I want to read this
PS I’m a total Veronica Mars addict! LOL
January 5th, 2010 at 2:53 pm
*jumps up and down* OMGOMGOMGOMG! I. Love. Shade. When do I get to read this???
January 5th, 2010 at 3:41 pm
I adore this scene. Billy’s such a skeeze (Mean Girls reference). And I love Shade jumping in. He is my lover.
January 5th, 2010 at 3:44 pm
YEZZZ, it’s Shade, my hero!!! I’m with Summer in trying to kick this douchebag in the balls! Ugh! I’m curious about the picture and what all is going on with that. Nice teaser, you little tease!
January 5th, 2010 at 3:46 pm
*summons angry mob to smash Billy’s head in*
And Shade = <333
January 5th, 2010 at 4:02 pm
Oh, i hate this guy. I mean I really, really hate him. Really.
Great tease!
January 5th, 2010 at 4:04 pm
This is one of my favorite scenes of the entire book – so far
Shade – who wouldn’t swoon over a guy who kicks ass?
January 5th, 2010 at 4:09 pm
Snork–it’s probably bc Shade is actually showing his good side for a change. A side that wasn’t very evident in the first part!
Go little anti-hero, go!
January 5th, 2010 at 6:40 pm
This is great! Your teasers are always well-paced and filled with tension.
January 5th, 2010 at 6:50 pm
Awesome teaser. The voices are great. Billy – Ugh when he says the lien about why don’t we get naked together – so authentic the way he talks. Blech. Also, I like the tension and the way she sees the Kill vibe in shade. Very cool. Mean Girls meets Harry Potter – That’s great.
January 5th, 2010 at 6:53 pm
I’m with Shade… KILL the hair puller! Great teaser!
January 5th, 2010 at 8:05 pm
LOVE THIS! I can’t wait to see this waiting in my inbox *grins*
January 6th, 2010 at 7:29 am
Great teaser! I especially like how it ended
January 6th, 2010 at 4:07 pm
I want to know more!
“Let her go right now, or I’m going to turn your face into something that really makes the girls scream. And not in a good way.”
that made me LOL
January 7th, 2010 at 6:13 pm
This was so good! I want more!
January 8th, 2010 at 5:22 am
ooo… This is getting GOOD! I always love it when the ‘bad guy’ gets his. Please tell me it will be soon! maybe Shade will turn him into a snake or something more fitting LOL
