Thoughts on high school? More specifically, is there anything you miss?

I don’t miss high school. I’m always going to wish I had the opportunity to do *more* stuff, like I kinda wish I’d done light crew in the theater or went to more debate competitions or whatever, but honestly I don’t think that would’ve done me any good. It was an awkward, confusing time for me. 

I guess if there’s one thing I miss it would be the fact that the world seemed simpler and brighter and I went to the movies more. 

Thanks!

Thoughts on phrases like everything happens for a reason? 🤔

I understand the sentiment behind it but I kind of hate it. Like, I tend to want to believe that there’s some kind of grand plan and all but a lot of the time the phrase “everything happens for a reason” is used when you don’t want to hear it and when you don’t need it. “Everything happens for a reason” kind of implies that there’s something to be gained or learned from even the worst experiences and I just… can’t wrap my head around that. I don’t really feel good about the idea that there’s a silver lining to everything because sometimes there’s just not. Sometimes shit happens. Sometimes we’re dealt a bad hand and given things we can’t handle on our own. It makes me unsettled. 

Thanks!

What do you think of “Just a Fluke” as a romance title?

I’m 90% it’s you, @trisscar368. And if I’m right, it’s a terrible fish pun. If I’m wrong… I could dig it for the title of a story where person A is crushing on Person B, who is the antithesis of “their type” and Person A is desperate to convince themselves and their BFF that it’s a one time deal and it’ll pass. 

Thanks!

Ask me my “thoughts on ___”

Would you ever write a survival / wilderness fic? It doesn’t have to be shippy. Maybe there was an accident and the main character or characters are forced to power through and survive. Maybe the character is running away from a marriage. Who knows. But they get lost and shit hits the fan. One could argue that The Dragon’s Keep counts but I’m thinking less supernatural creatures, more fear of the unknown.

Potentially.  

If it’s a fic that’s just one or two characters against nature I probably could but I tend to find those kinds of stories a little boring. It’s like camping except nature is trying to kill you, like the gods intended. So there’s a good angst factor, but I don’t know if I could maintain that for very long without getting bored myself. Maybe a one-shot or short fic but probably not something that stretches beyond three chapters or so. With stuff like this I’m always more interested in what’s required of the characters not just to survive, but to understand the person they’re trapped with.
