Re: How To Make a Low Key Plot Work

(Anonymous) 2023-12-12 09:30 am (UTC)(link)
Becky Chambers writes low conflict stories a lot. Her first one (The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet) really didn't work for me because she set up lots of conflicts then just...de-escalated them into low conflict resolutions which was very frustrating. But after that she seems to have got the hang of low conflict all the way through and they're more even. So yes, you can definitely do this, but you need to have some kind of through-line of what is happening. That through-line doesn't have to be plot - it can be world-building or character development or relationship development, or her journeyman project - but it has to be something.

Interesting. I'll have to look into her thanks . I like the worldbuilding as a through-line personally. and character development. A little of both of those.
