Re: Fridging, and how not to do it

[ariakas]

Well, like I said, I'm not everyone. Stories where that's the main motivation still sell, and I'm sure there are plenty of people who aren't tired of the trope at all - they may even like it, or find it compelling. But if you yourself don't want to be cliche...

Wracking my brains for a solution to your dilemma, since you say that this characters primary relationships are with women, just about the only female relation whose death/capture hasn't be absolutely done to death is probably a protagonist's mother. I've seen it before, but nowhere near as often as I have wife/girlfriend/daughter/sister (in order of descending banality). Especially an older protagonist (i.e. not a child or a teenager). I've literally never seen it with a man over 20. Which says problematic things in and of itself (that women aren't worth getting worked up over after a certain age, perhaps) so you could subvert the trope slightly if you tried that out.

I've been giving it a lot more thought, and particularly after reading darkmanifest's comment, I think I'm going to work on getting around my perceived need for someone close to him to die. I'd kind of boxed myself in a bit, and hadn't been able to see it.

Thank you for your feedback and your help! I really appreciate it!
