#SumLuv I don't have strong feelings towards meet cute tropes. Some love them, some hate them, I just want to see them done well. I'm not sure I've used any in my own stories though. Mainly because my current batch of romances are enemies to lovers 😂 adding that to my future writing plans.

#LateNightWrite Harmful beliefs about themselves, yes... But also, Carmine in PSI. She's Lazarus' partner in (sometimes literal) crime but she doesn't really believe he's a guy. Most don't, because it's the early 1930s. I don't have enough space to really go into it here... It's very complicated.
Blackbird#LateNightWrite Are there any harmful beliefs your main character starts out with that they need to unlearn? How well do they deal with their worldviews being challenged? Quote or reply below using the hashtag!
#LateNightWrite It's actively happening in Freyjrulf's world. The sorcery used by the tyrant and his mages is forbidden for good reason. It's basically an analogy for the previously mentioned technology in our world. It gets worse the more you learn, just like in our world.
Blackbird#LateNightWrite Are there any instances in your setting or plot where the misuse of magic/technology has negatively impacted the world or society at large? If so, how is magic/technology regarded in the aftermath? Quote or reply below using the hashtag!
#LateNightWrite Yes. Friend of the Damned, the first Runner Owen short story I wrote, is centered around a spiritualist. If you know anything about them you know where that's going. I've absolutely thought of stories taking shots at a certain "inevitable" technology but I haven't finished any yet.
Blackbird#LateNightWrite Have you ever written any stories centered around one big harmful lie or scam? Does the current, uhm, artistic landscape--let's call it that--make you more or less inclined to explore these types of themes? Quote or reply below using the hashtag!
Hey #LateNightWrite I'm glad to be here. I'm Vincent, I write stories mostly about trans guys like myself. My main WIP is a cozy hero x villain fantasy romance short story called Wish Upon A Storm. I've got like five other WIPs though 😅
BlackbirdHappy Saturday and welcome to another #LateNightWrite! Let's start with Introductions, tell us about yourself and your WIP(s) in any way you like. Quote or reply below using the hashtag!
