15. Angst or fluff?

Ooo, as a writer or a reader, haha? I do like writing and reading both, but angst generally wins out. I like conflict in stories because I think conflict makes stories generally more revealing and compelling, and the payoff more satisfying, and it can be harder to make that work with fluff. Not that I don't try myself - I'd say half of C&C is fluff with conflict really, which was a fun balance to figure out as a writer, but overall, angst just scratches an itch for me in a way a lot of fluff doesn't.

Writer asks

#thank you!#i actually think my favourite as a writer is writing things that are long enough to encompass both haha #or even finding out what fluff looks like in say a universe like succession where it doesn't really lend itself to it #(although in some ways it does given succession is emotionally high stakes but physically / financially / security-wise low stakes)#especially compared to something like gg #where characters are emotionally more resilient but face a lot higher stakes in terms of physical safety and personal security #if that makes sense #anyway i'm rambling #but i'm taking a mental health day off work so that's v exciting #gonna try and answer some asks and maybe mess around with a few stories #writer asks #welcome to my ama
