a_qI resurface from Baggingshield! Phew, it was some trip! There is amazing stories out there, gosh, how to describe them? Big as novels, complex as soap operas, filled with everything imaginable - fix its! Arranged marriages! Modern AU's! Trope-tastic candy store of the highest order!
I wish I had even one fraction of the writing skills those authors have, sigh.
No, scratch that. What I really want, is to learn how to unleash the gut-wrenching emotions in the story. Stab the reader's heart with the ice pick of tragedy, as it was. I want crying and desperate wailing from the readers while I tangle the frail hope of a happy ending in front them, and then snatch it away to get them come back for another round of tears and pain.
Hm. Now, how to learn that?
(Also, I might not be a good person. At all. Actually, I might be down right vicious... Oh well. Everybody is good at something?)
