A novella, so against the rules: This Is How You Lose The Time War

Since it's letters exchanged between adversaries, it'd be rough to translate to visual media.

Rough, but not impossible. Isn't the Frankenstein's monster book a collection of letters as well? It's either that one or some other classical horror story..

Edit: Dracula. Thanks to the fellow lemming who replied below.

Dracula, by Bram Stoker. Early films of the story took the events told in the letters and made it into a regular film. That process would miss a lot of TIHYLTTW

However, there are techniques that could work well. I imagine lots of voice-over montages.

Thanks!

TIHYLTTW

Wait, what is this? Google says it's a story, but are you using this phrase in a different context?

[-] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 11 months ago

This Is How You Lose The Time War in the format of LOTR or THGTTH.

[-] elbarto777@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I am dumb. TIHYLTTW is the novella you were originally referring to. Thanks!
