me: wow I'm almost done with this scene

also me after realizing how I can make another variation of a variation of a variation work: wow I'm so not done with this scene

what are some story tropes that you would want to write in the future? 😚

I love getting such questions because my brain stops working and I forget any tropes/themes I've ever thought of writing 😋 it's such a wonderful thing!!! (just to be clear, I'm not blaming you, just joking about myself)

Anyway, on a serious note, I'll use this moment to mention some stuff from my next interactive story. I've been wanting to talk about it for a while, but I also kind of feel awkward mentioning it since no one cares about it except for me and it's a long way from being released (which will happen only after I'm done with TAS). But this is also relevant to your question, so I'll just shamelessly take this opportunity 🙌 thank you for giving me one!

I don't know many "proper" trope names, so I'll write it out plainly.

A love story at its core (I love romance, can't you tell?). This one is more about established relationships (friends / kinda rivals / almost friends) to lovers rather than strangers to [something] to lovers.

The MC is a genius (for a fucked up reason) magi with a Surprise. Dark, tortured past. Morally ambiguous (maybe pure evil for some, idk; definitely unhinged). The coolest guy (gender-neutral) on the block. Looks and acts like this 😎 and inside is actually like this 🥺🕶

Eldritch gods (kind of; it's complicated).

Found family (2x). This one will be different from TAS; you'll interact with the entire cast throughout the story and not choose just one route to romance/befriend in one playthrough.

A very strong platonic relationship with a best friend; they might (and, in fact, do) crazy (read "forbidden and reprehensible") shit for each other that could kill one of them or both of them and everyone around them and they know it.

Magic exists, but it's hidden from humans.

Magical elitism? 🤔 Most magi consider themselves "better" than humans (which leads to them being rather indifferent to mortals; they have no qualms about using/manipulating/killing humans).

A big bad cult (I'm sure this is a trope).

Fighting a god (this is definitely a trope).

Revenge (not just for the MC; now that I think about it, everyone wants to take revenge on someone 😭).

Second chances (in more ways than one).

Some other things that I won't mention because it's going into the "unnecessary details/too spoilery" territory.

Btw, the setting is modern + magic, but it's not the real (our) world. It's my own playground, and I mostly focus on its magical part.

I don't know how I'll write it, but I have a very specific idea for a scene with racing for fun, and I know I'll bend over backwards to include it 🤡

The story after that one is pretty much a high fantasy revenge story with manipulations and lies and some church stuff and true/false saints and doomed lovers and being a savior for your family and a villain for everyone else, but it's far far far in the future, so I'll just leave it at that for now.

me in the past: this scene will be simpler than the others!! yay!!

me now, writing the battle part of the scene: 💀

[ri-writes-if]

So excited for these scenes but I can say nothing because spoilers ughh!!! 😭

[ri-writes-if]

I usually would have done that without hesitation but TAS is different from my usual stories

So do you have other stories too?? Because I would love to read them (even if the characters are gonna die 😭), you're one of my faves

Aw, thank you for your interest!! 💛 All my previous stories are shelved, and I won't be returning to them; they are old and unfinished, so there's nothing I'd like to show. But I'm slowly planning out my next IF, so after TAS is done, I'll publish something new :)

my constant problem is me asking myself "did I already mention it somewhere in the story?" and having no answer 💀
