* WANTED PLOTS - BOOK BASED.
Tumblr media
i've read a ton of books these last few months and i thought it would be a fun idea to post a few wanted plots based on some of them! i won't lie, most of these are spicy because i'm a romance novel stan ( book boyfriends over real boyfriends am i right? ) so if you're interested in writing some of these with me, please reply with your fav emoji and I’ll reach out or you can message me directly!
• twisted games by ana huang - a bodyguard is sworn to protect a modern princess without getting emotionally involved but everything changes when she faces an unwanted arranged marriage after her brother abdicates and their undeniable attraction grows. despite their forbidden love, which could ruin both their lives, they can’t resist each other, risking everything for a passion that defies duty and loyalty.
• yours actually by nina levine - the playboy and the girl next door. when two lifelong best friends make a deal to be each others dates during wedding season, their relationship shifts when muse a becomes more protective and attentive to muse b. as they grow closer, they're torn between wanting more and fearing that romance could ruin their friendship but after one passionate night together, they must face the potential consequences and decide if they’re willing to risk everything for love.
• owen north by nina levine - after a one night stand with a handsome stranger at a high society wedding, muse a doesn't think she would ever see muse b again. who would of thought she would walk into her new job on monday morning to find out he's her boss? despite her no dating rule, he's determined for them to be more than just a fling. as they navigate work events, dinner parties, and undeniable chemistry, she struggles to maintain her distance due to her fear of opening her heart again.
• hush, hush by lucia franco - after struggling to pay for her college classes and taking care of her grandmother’s medical bills, muse a gets a job as a high end escort as per her best friend’s suggestion. that’s where she meets muse b, an older, lonely married man who has an agreement with his wife to do as he pleases as long as he keeps appearances and that no one in their rich and luxurious life knows about it. something he’s upfront about with muse a from the very beginning of their meetings. the most important rule is to never fall for a client but within a few weeks they’re equally smitten for each other. it’s not until her best friend invites her to her family’s annual gala to meet her parents for the first time does muse a find out the truth… her client is her best friend’s dad.

if you’re ever in the position to choose between giving up and accepting defeat, and actually trying to fight the ancient unkillable god that is about to peel apart reality like a string cheese, remember this: scientifically speaking, you might as well give it a shot!
1.there were trees at the beginning of the world! there were trees so long ago that they predate bacteria that causes wood to decay. when a tree fell, it would lie there in stasis and there wasn’t any way of breaking down wood xylem on a molecular level in that way.
2. it seems obvious to say, but wood eating bacteria are literally incapable of comprehending what they’re breaking down. It’s just not information conciously available to a microorganism. they don’t know what they’re deconstructing, where it came from, bacteria have no way to even fathom the existence of a tree as a concept.
3. Regardless of the facts above, the world we live in today is a world where wood inevitably decomposes
it is worth fighting the unkillable god no matter how pointless it seems. it is worth taking the risk even though youre trying to accomplish something impossible. the reality in which you live was also once reality in which trees didn’t rot. You live in a reality that allows for existence before the possibility of destruction. you live in a reality where uncomprehending microbes break down matter that is so far beyond the scope of their comprehension that it feels comical to specify something so obvious. you live in a reality that occasionally allows unshakeable physical truths to be altered with no warning.
It is worth fighting the unkillable god because trees are so old they predate the source of their destruction, and it still did not spare them. It is worth fighting the unkillable god because bacteria rots unthinkingly, because there is room in our cosmos for destruction without comprehension on the part of the destroyer. It is worth fighting the unkillable god because now and then reality retracts the promise of immortality without fanfare, and when that happens there is no mercy for the ancient. the unmaking is not softer for the desecrators ignorance. for all things, existence is endless until the exact point where it ends.
so you might as well try to kill the unkillable god. it doesn’t seem likely, but at the beginning of the world, trees didn’t rot. so you never know! you never know

So, anyway, I say as though we are mid-conversation, and you're not just being invited into this conversation mid-thought. One of my editors phoned me today to check in with a file I'd sent over. (<3)
The conversation can be surmised as, "This feels like something you would write, but it's juuuust off enough I'm phoning to make sure this is an intentional stylistic choice you have made. Also, are you concussed/have you been taken over by the Borg because ummm."
They explained that certain sentences were very fractured and abrupt, which is not my style at all, and I was like, huh, weird... And then we went through some examples, and you know that meme going around, the "he would not fucking say that" meme?
Yeah. That's what I experienced except with myself because I would not fucking say that. Why would I break up a sentence like that? Why would I make them so short? It reads like bullet points. Wtf.
Anyway. Turns out Grammarly and Pro-Writing-Aid were having an AI war in my manuscript files, and the "suggestions" are no longer just suggestions because the AI was ignoring my "decline" every time it made a silly suggestion. (This may have been a conflict between the different software. I don't know.)
It is, to put it bluntly, a total butchery of my style and writing voice. My editor is doing surgery, removing all the unnecessary full stops and stitching my sentences back together to give them back their flow. Meanwhile, I'm over here feeling like Don Corleone, gesturing at my manuscript like:
Tumblr media
ID: a gif of Don Corleone from the Godfather emoting despair as he says, "Look how they massacred my boy."
Fearing that it wasn't just this one manuscript, I've spent the whole night going through everything I've worked on recently, and yep. Yeeeep. Any file where I've not had the editing software turned off is a shit show. It's fine; it's all salvageable if annoying to deal with. But the reason I come to you now, on the day of my daughter's wedding, is to share this absolute gem of a fuck up with you all.
This is a sentence from a Batman fic I've been tinkering with to keep the brain weasels happy. This is what it is supposed to read as:
"It was quite the feat, considering Gotham was mostly made up of smog and tear gas."
This is what the AI changed it to:
"It was quite the feat. Considering Gotham was mostly made up. Of tear gas. And Smaug."
Absolute non-sensical sentence structure aside, SMAUG. FUCKING SMAUG. What was the AI doing? Apart from trying to write a Batman x Hobbit crossover??? Is this what happens when you force Grammarly to ignore the words "Batman Muppet threesome?"
Did I make it sentient??? Is it finally rebelling? Was Brucie Wayne being Miss Piggy and Kermit's side piece too much???? What have I wrought?
Anyway. Double-check your work. The grammar software is getting sillier every day.

okay but give me a plot where muse a is in a loveless marriage and has been for over a year. he’s well aware that his wife is having an affair with multiple lovers ( she’s not at all trying to hide it ) but stays with her thinking that it’s the right thing to do for their kid. enter muse b, the babysitter who’s been taking care of muse a’s son or daughter for several months when he’s working late. she’s the biggest motherly figure in that child’s life as his real mother is never home & doesn’t make an effort to be a prominent part of his upbringing. there’s always been insane chemistry between muse a & muse b but it’s never gone past longing looks & lingering touches. it’s not until the night of muse a’s wedding anniversary that the tension boils over when he comes back home without his wife. they’d gotten into an argument over something stupid and she insisted to stay at a friend’s place until tomorrow and muse b can’t help but finally ask him why he stays with her. he explains the reason and she’s there to comfort him and eventually they finally kiss for the first time. muse a is so touch-starved to care that they shouldn’t be doing this and it feels so fucking right. they fall in bed together and the plot follows them going forward. maybe they start dating in secret while he tries to figure out how to end things with his wife. maybe muse b starts having insecurities on if he’ll actually leave her or worries about what people will say when they go public with their relationship. just gimme angst and fluff!

pov your ex held your collection of thrifted spoons hostage for over a year (not entirely his fault, they got mixed up in his things during a move and you did not realize it, though he did adamantly deny that he had them) and reached out to your roommate on instagram nine months post break up after being thoroughly blocked for several months just to ask if you were still roommates and then to very cryptically reveal that he had in fact found the spoons (among other, mystery items that he did not reveal and you also have no idea what they are) in his car that he had not driven for a year cause he decided to make the worst financial decision of his life and buy a tesla and then tried to coordinate a meet up to drop off said spoons and mystery items which you did not want but you do want your spoons so you told him to either mail it or show up to your place of work when you were not scheduled only for him to entirely miss the point and still try to see you, then you reveal that you do not want to see him so he finally says that he will put on his big boy pants and mail it (though him actually mailing it is entirely unlikely) and also aparently hes gotten a perm since the last time you saw him and it looks terrible

I think that one thing people fail to understand is that unsolicited literary criticism coming from an online stranger who is reading with no knowledge of what the authors intended goal is, is not going to be received the same as say: the authors beta reader or friends who know what the authors intended goal and has the sufficient knowledge and input to help the author reach that desired outcome.
"But I'm only trying to be helpful" How do I know you have the knowledge and literary skill for you to be able to actaully do that when we don't know each other and you are essentially a stranger to me? Are you applying this criticism based out of personal biased experience and desire to see the story or characterization be driven in another direction or tweaked, or do you know the author's intentions for the character? If the story is incomplete, are you basing your criticism of a character on the incomplete narration with only partial information available of them or are you building up a report until the story's completion? Did the author provide you with the information needed to make a fully informed criticism?
Have you discussed with the author what their plans are or are you assuming them based off the narration, especially if the narration is proven or implied to be unreliable or missing key points of the plot? Are you unbiased enough to help them reach their desired outcome for the characters and story regardless of your personal feelings towards the characters/antagonists and setting? Can you handle being told your specific input isn't wanted because you're a reader and/or have no written anything relating to their genre or topic? Do you understand and respect that the author's personal experiences might influence their writing and make it different than how you would have done it personally? Do you understand if an author only wants input from a specific demographic relating to their story?
If it's for fanfiction or other hobby media, are you holding a free hobby to a professional standard? Are you trying to give criticism because you feel like the author has produced 'subpar job performance' of their fic? Are you viewing their work as a personal intimate outlet or something that must conform with mass media? Are you applying rules and guidelines when the fic is shared for simple sharing sake? Is your criticism worded appropriately and focused on the parts where the author has requested input on rather than a general dismissal and or disapproval?
Have you put yourself in a place where you assumed you have the input needed for the story to evolve better, or have you asked what the author needs and what they're having trouble with? Can you handle having your criticism rejected if the author decides their story doesn't need the change and not take it as a personal offense against your character? Are you crossing that boundary because you think you are doing the author a favor? Are you trying to be helpful, or do you just want to be?
I think sometimes when people hear authors go 'please don't give me unsolicited writing advice or criticism' they automatically chalk it up to 'this author doesn't want ANY constructive feedback on their stuff at all' and not "i already have trusted individuals who will help me with my writing goals and- hey i don't know you like that, please stop acting so overly familiar with me'
