A Masterlist of Things We Want to See in Fiction - Comments

Where is this pirate contest of yours???

I would love to see more pirate stories, I love pirate stories. Omg I would love to see an assassins Creed story as well.

@ starfire.
I think we all secretly thought the space pirates in Treasure Planet were freaking cool

@ Lily Barnes
Even better! I specifically made a pirate contest on here because I'm obsessed and threw out the suggestion of space pirates.

This list is amazing. I agree completely that every story needs these things, particularly secondary characters that are real players instead of a device to move the plot along. I think we've all seen enough of the bitchy ex girlfriend who appears suddenly to wreck the relationship and then vanishes without a trace later in the story.

@ starfire.
What if they were combined?

I'm actually proud of myself for naturally having quite a few of these things in my stories. My female characters are always confident in themselves and independent but still want to look nice (clothes/makeup) without going over the top. I have characters who have been wrong about a lot and who are learning to make the right decisions. I have intricate secondary character plot lines. I have a space story. A college story. And a few other things on this list.

But there is a lot I should work on. Cultural Diversity is a big one for me. And adding a bit more diversity in my male characters when it comes to their personalities.

This list is great.

fucks sake jordan now I want to write an OG YA fic with everything on this list
