I'm kind of tempted to write fic now... there's people who would read it

Re: Fic Discussions - YCMAL

Her characters are the best part of her writing and others have done much better with the actual storytelling.

I think she'd be okay if she had an editor to really rip apart her pacing and development.

ayrt

I feel like she abides too much by the methodology that she's going have an idea and "see where it goes." And then it takes 60k words and 5 updates and 4 secondary characters for one single iota of story development to take place.

And then halfway through there's a new secondary character she falls in love with who takes over the story.

I also don't know what genre she thinks she's writing. Because it seems like romance, and then... those endings. I got it for Luke and Nikita, because that also really wasn't a romance, but once was enough.

Yep. Her stories always develop like romances, but then end in whatever way she deems realistic or healthy or fresh or whatever. But in order to write a ~realistic story, she'd have to set it up differently imo. The way she does it, there's just a lack of payoff.

Yep. Luke and Nikita wasn't set up as a romance, so I was fine with them ending up apart. Ulf and the coach, less so. And Robbie and Georgie, I think, will be even more egregious. The "fresh" twist can be the infidelity, but it wasn't set up to not be a romance. Part of the story was already about them getting together. She would have had to frame it totally differently.

da Hahaha, yes, especially the 4 secondary characters. And they always come out of nowhere! It definitely feels like she just thinks of the characters halfway through and then likes them "too much".

Kiro, lord. And David needing a friend made perfect sense for his character development, to be fair, but then it just kept... expanding.

This is how we got the stupid North Star rookies story that's been distracting her from Robbie for months.

And Vinny too I think.
