[@Redthorn Anvil] Okay, firstly, I love the idea of Meta.  I mean, reader as a character?  Breaking the fourth wall?  ...Setting it all in the land of the written word and having there be a Narrator character and a Muse character and maybe even an Author character -- or multiple Authors who squabble about which way to go with things?  <3  I may be very fond of this.  There's a 2ep arc of Humanity has Declined that does this, and my first win for NaNo was this, plus Deadpool does it, and there's a couple characters people I know play that do this in the best way.  Also I have one that is genre savvy and bends physics so hard they have kinks.  Also the Maxwell's demon character in Her Majesty's Wizard by Christopher Stasheff, and then the place he's from in Witch Doctor.  Just...yes please?  I have all sorts of ideas to use for this, though not that many for a plot to go with it.

Um.  Genre.  I like genre mixing.  Fantasy of all sorts, a bit of horror, some mystery, a bit of scifi or even just slightly after modern-era stuff.  Functional magic is great.  Steampunk, dieselpunk, cyberpunk...isn't there something like atompunk?  whatever, that's all neat.  What else.  Anything literary.  OH.  Right, for more 4th wall shenanigans, read Sire the webcomic, also by Alexis Royce (did I say she's amazing?  Because she is, very).  I also like deconstructing tropes, subverting tropes, and reinterpreting old ideas.  For example, have the love interest...never be interested.  It's unrequited love at its finest.  And no finding someone else to switch affections to!  Or perhaps it's a pretty Really 700 person and they've been kept alive through unnatural means and they are really ready to move on, so you end with them being freed and getting to die, and it's a gesture of selfless love.  ...I may have a story idea with that.  Or where someone kills a dragon, but it's by accident and that's a problem.  Also have half a story like that.  A designated hero who's a total coward, or who decides working with the bad guys pays better.  I actually have a collection of tumblr posts with ideas for stories and such.  Like instead of the Chosen One being some teen, make it an elderly grandma and she goes off with her three cats and a frazzled aid that makes sure she takes her pills on time.  ...I'm rambling.  Sorry, it's been a long day and I'm on an adrenaline high plus also pretty tired.  x.x  Anyhow, you get the idea.  <3


[@pugbutter] you may be best girl but I am cutest crazy.  <3  And I sound like a kid half the time, at least in terms of enthusiasm.  ^.^
