Re: How To Make a Low Key Plot Work

(Anonymous) 2023-12-12 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
The idea of low stakes fiction is still kind of new to me, but I read Legends and Lattes and enjoyed it, though it's probably not going to be reread for me. The low stakes conflict there was a former orc mercenary quitting her job and deciding to open up a coffee shop in a place where coffee isn't a common drink. It's cute, there are difficulties in starting her business and developing it, and there's a romance.

IMO, what helped the plot move along was a series of low stakes conflicts where each one was positively resolved. Lots of cozy details really help, too - people love reading about how someone who starts off as a fish out of water finds a place to call home and all the domestic details of how that happens. Making friends that become your new found family is neat. Include character types that people love. Think wish fulfillment type stuff that's built into the story.
