Re: THIS IS THE WRITING THREAD!

Ahh

I might suggest looking on TV Tropes, if you don't mind the site (I've met people who disliked or hated burning hatred for it. Me, I just take it as a source of information ) It can be fun to look at certain premise /setting tropes you like and put your own spin on them. :3

I avoid TV Tropes but only because it's like a black hole I get sucked into. Once I start, I keep clicking links and then suddenly six hours have gone by. :)

TV tropes was kind of what I was thinking of when I said lists of cliches are a great start but just not enough. The tropes are good but I just need that added little something that will make a story out of it -- especially as I am writing pre-existing characters who already fall into their own tropes. So, any character-tropes are unlikely to work because they're either OOC or just describe a pre-existing condition. Ditto a lot of the world-building elements. Maybe I'll try again and look for action-type tropes but I feel like that would be great if I already had some kind of starting point to begin with.

TV Tropes is a pile of shit. If I want to actually write, I'll stay way the fuck away from it, thanks.

*eyerolls* Mm edgy.

Sure it has problems, but it also has a bunch of common premises, character types and such. It is information and CAN be useful or harmful depending on what YOU do with it.

Thinking it will automatically make you a poorer or better writer is stupid and means you're putting too much stock in it.

I know a lot of the tropes and stuff because analyzing literature and stuff is my thing so I find it very interesting , but I also know that you don't slap tropes together can call it a novel.

Also knowing these things will not automatically make you suck either because it's UP TO YOU what you make of it. Some tropes you discard, some you notice, whatever.
