You've swamped Speed & Kiersten's inboxes, so I encourage you guys to explore some of the other writers on Fiverr!! I'm sure there are hidden gems who would be very grateful for your $5 and your trust 🙏 (Just watch out for Wincys!)<br>Also, please stop writing essays in defense of AI into my poor agent's inbox 🥲 My professional email is for professional inquiries. This comment section is for comments on the video! THANKS!

Having played at a table with Kiersten, I can tell you first hand that watching one of her stories unfold before your eyes is truly a life-altering experience. She deserves all the love and more. If you love her work now, stay tuned for when her book is published someday :)

I have the absolute privilege of having Speed McCoy as our group's DM. No word of a lie, the man is an absolute master of his craft! Knows our characters as well as we do, dare I say better! Goes above and beyond for his players and has crafted a masterpiece of a campaign. I agree completely with your review, he could be charging more for his work, so to be getting the amount of care and attention to detail for just $5 is an absolute steal! Nothing but love for Speed!

Hello! Kiersten here :) thank you so much for the support (and honest critique, I really appreciate it!) Writing is very therapeutic for me, and I got this order on a pretty rough day, so I can honestly say this little project was a blessing. Thanks everyone!<br>edit: someone asked about socials, but I think it got lost in the comments -- my instagram is the same as my YouTube, and I'm trying to post more lol

Conclusion: SpeedMcCoy is too good for this cruel world, and Kiersten W. is a treasure that must be protected at all costs.

You could tell when Wincy stopped using the LLM to send messages. Especially when they said "sir" and the message length went down to a single sentence per message.

SpeedMcCoy is like the equivalent of finding 20 chicken nuggets in a 6 piece box.

Speed McCoy also did a bunch of formatting so that it looks like pages out of a WOTC product. Definitely worth more than you got to give.

Seeing his friends, players, and even mom comment is so funny, like he got so inundated with orders and was so excited that he showed this to literally everyone. We love you Speed McCoy!
