Questions/Feedback for LMG!!
Hi lovelies!! Thank you so so so much for all your kind words on the latest part of LMG!! I'll be responding to everyone soon. <3
I had a few questions about my writing and would love to hear your thoughts! Additionally, if you have any direct questions for me about this series, feel free to comment on this post or send me a message! <3
1. Reader's appearance: Do you find that Reader is racially ambiguous enough to put yourself into the story? I'm South Asian myself, so I naturally write with that in mind and sometimes have to go back and tweak descriptions (for example: brown skin, straight hair, dark eyes). Just want to see if I missed any of the tweaks and threw anyone off.
As a POC, I know how hard it can be to immerse yourself in an xreader fic where it's clearly catering towards a certain group of people. In this series, she is supposed to be Bruce's biological daughter; however, in terms of appearance, I'd only compare you to looking most like your "mother," who will not have a description. This way, it can explain you being Bruce's bio child but still not looking anything like him (genetics can be wild, and for the sake of the plot, Bruce has weak genes)
2. Flashbacks & POV: Do the flashbacks or POV switches ever throw you off? Would you prefer I separate them into their own chapters from the other characters' perspectives, or do you like having them integrated into the story so you understand why everyone is acting the way they are? [Just keep in mind that while you get that context, Reader doesn't.]
3. Character personalities: Based on the characters I've brought up so far, is there anything you like or would like to suggest? (personality-wise) I'm trying to blend the animated series with what I've read from comics to create my own version of everyone, so I'm always open to feedback! (+ any characters you want to see come up or be more involved)
As is,most of the personalities are based on how Wayne!reader perceives them, so it may be slightly off (it's why in Dick's pov I tried to make him seem more compassionate.)
4. The boarding school n its lore: A little warning that future chapters will come with some heavier content warnings. Is there any specific type of lore or topic you don't want to read about?
The headmaster plays a huge role in why Reader struggles with trust and closeness, although many of those memories are repressed. Currently in my plot outline, I have written down some ideas involving body horror/ritualistic lore as well.
5. Mental health : How would you feel if Reader took medication or dealt with certain mental health issues? Given Reader's history and current issues, I think it's quite possibly unavoidable for her not to fall into a depressive/ptsd episodes. I'm someone who does struggle with a few things myself, so if I do write this it will be based on my experiences
For 4 and 5 there WILL be content warnings at the start
6. Wayne!Reader's skills: my goal is to not make her a Mary Sue, so she will not be good at the typical "hero" stuff tragically. But given what you have seen of her so far, what are some skills you think she'd have? There are some I have in mind; I'd just like to see if you guys picked up on them as well without me giving it away 🫣
If you want to answer any of these questions, I’d prefer if you left a comment below so I can keep all the feedback in one place! If you'd like to be credited at all please leave a comment in the message itself <3
That being said, if you’d rather send an anon ask, please feel free to do that too. I’d never want anyone to feel like they have to choose between commenting publicly or not saying anything at all.
While I’d genuinely love to hear your input/opinions, I may not end up going with every suggestion. I mainly want to get a better sense of how people feel and what everyone’s thoughts are!
I also will not be responding to every comment or ask (though I'll definitely be liking comments and saving all the asks!) If there's anything I'd love to hear more about or discuss further, I'll send you a DM/ask. 🩷
As always, thank you so much for reading!!! I genuinly love hearing your thoughts. My inbox and dms are always open <3
