Re: 131
To be successful in fiction, all you have to do is find a sensitive, raw nerve (possibly something originating from childhood or adolescence) and yanking on that nerve, milking it for all it's worth. Alternatively, you could find a common fantasy and exploit it.
This is the driving force behind the success of:
• the Twilight Saga
• Ernest Hemmingway
• Neon Genesis Evangelion
• angsty Nine Inch Nails songs
Here, on Fandom!Secrets, people lay bare their insecurities, their fantasies, and their pain. It's ripe for the harvest.

For example:
∇ People don't accept you!! Wear our clothes, though, and they will like you.
∇ You are unattractive!! But if you use our cosmetics you will be.
∇ The opposite sex ignores you!! Slather yourself in our foul-smelling cologne to change that.
And, in works of fiction:
∇ You are angsty!! Here is a book character who is insecure and abused, just like you.
∇ Being single sucks!! This cartoon person is living out your middle school romance fantasies and is very self-insertable.
∇ Powerlessness is your curse!! Here is a story where people resembling those you resent are getting their comeuppance.
I'm telling you, it's happening already.
