Based on the first secret

[mishey22]

What element of story telling never gets old for you, F!S?

Re: Based on the first secret

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not the OP of secret 1, but mist is pretty cool! I like spooky houses in a gothic setting. Whether they're really haunted or just spooky = love.

... I'm currently reading (and loving) Gideon the Ninth, and so I'm going to say snarky dialogue and unexpected-but-evocative turns of phrase ("The man who’d put the sword to her neck was uncomfortably buff. He had upsetting biceps. He didn’t look healthy; he looked like a collection of lemons in a sack." comes to mind).

Horror that takes place in isolated locations.

[sparklywalls]

Creepy/spooky houses that may or may not be haunted. I'll take both a rational explanation and full on supernatural explanation. Just inject all the associated plot points and tropes into my veins!

Re: Based on the first secret

[morieris]

Characters who are born normal but somehow become a king or queen and then die at the end.

It's extremely specific but it's more likely than you think. Those characters always end up my favorites.

I'm going to have to say snow and the sea. We so rarely get snow and it's so magical to me (probably because it never stays long enough to be a nuisance! )

The sea is quite a volatile thing in stories. It can be gentle, it can be a violent force.

I love food. Loving descriptions of food, characters who make food, food that's symbolic or in some way significant - that's the good stuff.
I like the loving descriptions of food in Kerry Greenwood's books, particularly the Corinna Chapman books; I have a special place in my heart for the German film "Bella Martha", and the scenes where the main character talks to her therapist about food - she talks about food as an alternative to talking about her feelings, but of course, her feelings come through very clearly.

Ghosts. I just friggin love ghosts.

Dragons. Magic. Beautiful scenery. Hope permeating the plot. Sword fights. Characters sacrificing themselves for others. Powerful villains who are genuinely evil. Redemption stories. Cats. Animal and human bonding. Different species working together. Different cultures working together. Badass, physically and/or magically powerful women. Genuine heroic characters vs clear villains rather than antiheroes or semi-villains vs worse villains. Female bonding and multiple female characters working together. Slow burning friendship to love romances. Romances between two villains.

An individual or group in a hostile environment with limited resources has to survive.
Can be an action movie where the hero is trapped in a building with the bad guys like Die Hard, or a Robinson Crusoe family/society-focused story like Lost in Space, or a military show like Stargate Atlantis.

Men, as written by women. Lol.

Re: Based on the first secret

[tabaqui]

Long-lost family (or made family) finding each other and things are GOOD, post-apocalypse done smart, in-story talk and discussion that's not only on point but actually advances the plot - don't need to always be go, go, go!

Re: Based on the first secret

I'm always a slut for characters being put into an arranged marriage with someone they barely know or don't know at all and then they gradually fall in love as time passes and they get to know each other. I'm especially a slut for stories where the marriage is for a political purpose and the couple has to deal with political stuff along with their marital relationship. Bonus points if one or both doesn't actually want to be in the marriage at first and is only doing it For The Kingdom/For The Family and we get to see them first trying to learn to get along for the sake of the alliance or what have you and then gradually developing a personal relationship after that.

Re: Based on the first secret

Very specific, but I have a thing for scenes where characters are filmed being quiet and introspective in a moving vehicle, looking out the window, and the camera films the view through the window, maybe with music over top. It does so much to ground me in the character and the story. I always feel those scenes so intensely.

Ivalice games caused me to realize I apparently have a non-sexual kink for fathers/brothers/sons betraying and/or killing each other. I thought it was just the excellent games that were by an excellent director and had similar themes but then it happened on a couple TV shows unexpectedly and I totally spazzed. ...Wtf self.

Also suicide attempts/ideation but I know exactly where that comes from.

The sourdough bread I just baked and which came out not horrible.

I'm still waiting for it to cool down and haven't tasted it yet, and I DID add half a packet of fresh yeast that was about to expire, but man. I made sourdough and the sourdough at least made the bread rise.

Been writing strictly for me instead of wasting energy worrying about what others might think. It's been a long time since I've enjoyed the process this much and I'm proud that I'm finally just letting go and allowing myself to be myself, fully and wholly.

Death labyrinths in their myriad of forms. It's fun watching an entire cast get picked off one by one by booby traps.

What's the weather like outside right now for you?

[(Anonymous)]

It's that weird 'white light' sunny haze going on for me. Much too bright for my liking.

What Was The Single Most Devastating Moment In Fandom For You?

[(Anonymous)]

'Devastating' is subjective and totally free for personal interpretation!

New-to-you Fandoms

[(Anonymous)]

What fandoms have you recently gotten into that, if not "new," are new to you?

I recently got into ST TOS and it's such a candy-colored trip. I love the characters and it has such fun lines. The movies with the original cast also showcased such beautiful character development and wonderful relationships. I love the Kirk/Spock dynamic, the trio friendship, and Uhura/Scotty was such a fun, pleasant surprise.

What about you?

Looking for fic recs

Starting a thread, because I have recs I would like to request.
