[{"comment":"This reminded me of a Fiction story from the New Yorker, great themes and characterization. the details were spot on. When you expand this into your novella, the paragraph of 'I hadn\u2019t realized how wealthy students at Yale could be.." is where you can add more scenes of 'rich kids acting poorly'.\u201cYour -story- must now run the course that's been set for it.\u201d Kazuo Ishiguro ;)","author_url":"https:\/\/blog.reedsy.com\/creative-writing-prompts\/author\/marty-b\/","author_avatar":"https:\/\/images-cdn.reedsy.com\/auth\/avatar\/1602139\/thumbnail_75eb3c3fd993fea5d007ba439de5df3343c8c1b5.jpg","author_name":"Marty B"},{"comment":"This reminded me of a Fiction story from the New Yorker, great themes and characterization. the details were spot on.

A little less pretension out here on the West Coast, or at least the requests for money are more conspicuous If it comes to it though- I'm going to say I know the soon-to-be famous author Scott C. Sure to get me into the Best Places! :) ","author_url":"https:\/\/blog.reedsy.com\/creative-writing-prompts\/author\/marty-b\/","author_avatar":"https:\/\/images-cdn.reedsy.com\/auth\/avatar\/1602139\/thumbnail_75eb3c3fd993fea5d007ba439de5df3343c8c1b5.jpg","author_name":"Marty B"},{"comment":"Boom: "I knew people cheated to get into Yale. I didn\u2019t know they cheat at Yale as well." There goes the social relevance...Chloe brought it all together. Clapping","author_url":"https:\/\/blog.reedsy.com\/creative-writing-prompts\/author\/tommy-goround\/","author_avatar":"https:\/\/images-cdn.reedsy.com\/auth\/avatar\/1810729\/thumbnail_aa576c3db9478034a40fa19154a6978dbfde96ba.jpg","author_name":"Tommy Goround"},{"comment":"thanks! happy to get the mr goround comments on my dark academic epic cheating scandal! felt this needed another 3,000 words. Next week is more a one scene story. I had a coworker from yale who deeply annoyed me with his sense of entitlement so just needed to make that school the target even though it was the same school as 'The Secret History' apparently the most famous dark academia book of all type.

The character is like a holding caufield that is inspired by a woman. The way you introduced the professor under investigation was tremendous. I am wondering if he will lie for a girl. You move the Time parade forward one week and at present it seems like a real memory instead of one made up for a girl.So far the flow is good and the characters are introduced in such a way that they have meaning in the short space. I almost hate taking notes instead of just reading....","author_url":"https:\/\/blog.reedsy.com\/creative-writing-prompts\/author\/tommy-goround\/","author_avatar":"https:\/\/images-cdn.reedsy.com\/auth\/avatar\/1810729\/thumbnail_aa576c3db9478034a40fa19154a6978dbfde96ba.jpg","author_name":"Tommy Goround"},{"comment":"shirt punchy style works with character voice. Nice table setting, guinea pig. Good tension on Nora intro (you are hitting Norwegian wood style)...I eavesdrop on their conversation. \u2018Eavesdrop\u2019 not being the right word when you are standing in front of them, smiling, and feeling completely invisible [third example of excellent narration. It takes forever to quote on my phone... So this was good enough to spend an extra 4 minutes going out].Still reading...","author_url":"https:\/\/blog.reedsy.com\/creative-writing-prompts\/author\/tommy-goround\/","author_avatar":"https:\/\/images-cdn.reedsy.com\/auth\/avatar\/1810729\/thumbnail_aa576c3db9478034a40fa19154a6978dbfde96ba.jpg","author_name":"Tommy Goround"},{"comment":"I knew there was a reason I never went to Yale.","author_url":"https:\/\/blog.reedsy.com\/creative-writing-prompts\/author\/mary-bendickson\/","author_avatar":"https:\/\/images-cdn.reedsy.com\/auth\/avatar\/2406977\/thumbnail_9d140900216bbe13149833dafd263c47a6488424.jpg","author_name":"Mary Bendickson"},{"comment":"haha yeah, maybe its better to avoid all of that. of the grads I've met from ivy league schools, some of them were great, but a high proportion of them have been super lazy and work avoidant compared to people who've come up through public schools.

I feel like I had a lot of ideas going on here, probably could stretch this out over a full ya novel, but nice to hear you picked up on the main themes I had in mind. How wealthy students might have learned from their parents to be more Machiavellian in how they deal with others (I've heard stories) And in real life a lot of drama and conflict just fizzles out unresolved.
