Reader Adventures in Tropes #1

Most of my off the cuff ramblings will go here.

  • Love Interests/How I Use them for Uplift Protocol
  • Sense and Sensuality: There's Anita Blake level vs Somewhere in Time classic courtly romance.
  • Terrible Writing Advice is a fun channel that will bring up good points about the strengths and weaknesses of themes and tropes.

One of these days Ill sit down and just make a massive list of writing resources that have helped me. But right now its almost 12:30am and work was quite crazy.

I have my limits. Its why I try to find uplifting stuff. Heroism that can shine through the darkness. To add about my different limits or different strokes for different folks: I draw the line when it comes to depictions of child abuse and pedo crap. Its unnerving that so much "modern" stuff has that as a go-to when it comes to making sure the bad guy is made into a really bad guy. 

Through traditional morality (IE: Black and White) one doesn't have to dive deep into the horrors of the darker part of the human heart. It's readily apparent like Mordor itself. 

Real life has enough legitimate dangers as it is. We need to have examples of good virtuous values to counteract the dark of the real world.

Pulp Rev really is a wonderful start to finding Superversive stuff that wants people to have fun and sometimes think depending on the genre offered. 

This was worth every penny too: The Pulp Mindset
