for In Your Hands5/10 c1 ChloeBenjamin
Hello Paulina Ann!
I just finished reading your story on fanfiction and wow it really stuck with me. The way you built the characters and layered the emotions was seriously impressive. It got me thinking: this could make an amazing comic.
I’m Chloe Benjamin, a freelance illustrator who specializes in comics and character design. I’ve been doing this for a few years now and I absolutely love bringing stories like yours to life visually.
If you're ever open to the idea of adapting your story into a comic, I’d love to collaborate and see what we can create together. No pressure at all just thought I’d reach out because your work really inspired me.
You can check out some of my past projects on Instagram: chloe_benjamin999
And if you feel like chatting, I’m on Discord (chloe_benjamin999) or email (chloebenjamin999 ).
Hope to hear from you and either way, keep writing. You’ve got something special.
All the best,
Chloe

Someone on Reddit mentioned Storio (storioai dot com)—finally tried it. You can convert your stories into interactive games with character art and reader choices. I was surprised by how much faster it made writing for me.

I don’t think I reviewed the series The first time I read it, not knowing exactly how I needed to do things. I really did like your series even if it was Joe centric. What I would really like to see is a little more balance in terms of injuries. I know in this series Joe is a focus but sometimes in the case files and even in the blue spine, you see a another side of Joe come out when Frank is also injured.
Thank you so much for writing and really feeding my hearty boys addiction. I hope in 2025 you find inspiration to either continue the taken series or begin something fresh. Whatever it is, I’ll be around to read it. Unless it’s a Nancy and Ned fiction and then I’m skipping that

Okay. I've liked these last chapters, thank you for not ending the story with Joe heading to jail!
I'd love to see a bit of Hardy life in the next story, as I love seeing them interact with their friends. I like the idea of Ian being involved somehow. What if Joe got amnesia innocently - a knock on the head in a sports game - and seeing Ian triggered part of his memory and he, Frank, Van and the ORT gang have to work out what Ian is upto while Joe is still regaining his memory which of course would allow for flashbacks as he remembers all the stuff he's been through. Oh, and Frank and Callie's wedding and the highly amusing best man's speech! Feeling inspired?

He won't, Fenton's right and Vanessa trusts him to make the right decision. I hope you're not doing something horrible that means life's about to go terribly wrong for Joe, you wouldn't... Would you?

I think this might be my favourite chapter so far, which I know is weird because it's not the action and whump, but you write the Hardy life and thoughts and feelings so well that it just makes them feel like real people and real life. Thanks for making your version of these characters so enjoyable to read.

Ah I love a good non-ending kind of ending! Love that Joe used his football power to launch the attack, it's always nice to have a bit of the regular Hardy life mentioned. Joe made the right choice, joke with Frank, reassure Van. Agent Gilroy is a good bloke, well written. And Joe's going to be a great Dad some day... soon? Maybe that's for 4 or 5 more stories down the track!

Oooo this chapter is full of goodies AND ends on a cliff hanger - though thankfully I only have to wait until I've finished typing this review before I can find out what happens! So a special surprise in the tunnels - thankfully Frank's on to that. The grocery bag - oh you didn't Mr Couch - you've just made ALL the Hardys really mad with you now. Great planning Joe - unlocking the janitors cupboard for Elena to hide in - didn't see that one coming, nice writing. Vanessa did it (of course) and now Joe just needs to show them all that you always back a Hardy in a fight. Okay Chapter 9 I'm coming!

Go Vanessa, I know you'll get the feed up in time. And Frank has got his "in", now the question is how evil were you feeling when you wrote this?! Is there a spanner in the works, an unknown for the reader to suddenly find out that could throw everything into jeopardy? Loving the story so far!

Ooo I'm predicting some seriously action packed chapters coming up to save everyone in the bank and get the bad guys! Oh, and I REALLY, REALLY, want to read Joe's best man speech at some point - next story? Joe I think it's time you took those handcuffs off and limped/ shuffled out of there, or locked up the bad guys or deactivated the explosives (is that a thing? A nice handy off switch?)

Oh dear, I should have known, not sure Joe is going to be looking his best for that seafood dinner with Callie and Frank! Will Joe save Elena or maybe Elena will save Joe. Should we be worried by how little Elena is bothered with seeing someone being beaten up - I see a bright future for her in The Sacco family business!
Come on Vanessa, hurry up and hack back in to the cameras, and Frank I feel like you're going to try getting into the bank somehow, we're just waiting on that contact from Nick/Rocco to get you in!

Hmmm the crims are ignoring Joe and going about their business... That's either very silly of them or very bad for Joe. Never give a Hardy time to make a plan! Frank's already on the ball, enjoying the good guy/bad guys teaming up again against the other bad guys. Four chapters in and not even a bruise or a scrape on Joe does this bode well for him or is it all about to get very messy and owie?

Yay Fenton! This story is moving at a fast pace. I'm intrigued, are they just going to hurt Joe for revenge, are they going to use him to steal money before blowing the place up or is something else afoot? So many evil possibilities!

Aha, not just a bank robbery / hostage situation story BUT a revenge story - things just got even more tense! Love it when a baddie makes a reappearance in some way, shape or form. Now Frank and Fenton are going to be even more upset knowing what Joe went through before and what might happen again, please tell me Fenton is in this story?

Aha, such excitement, a new Taken series story... though I can see I'm a bit behind with finding this! It's another great start, a proposal, a new car - Buster , a trip to the bank what can possibly go wrong, poor Joe. I'm settling in for some good old fashioned Joe whump and Frank angst. So glad you're writing still!
