Haven't try bones yet cause of hectic pressure wala work that's taking up my time. These days i scroll YouTube and fangirl over a sportman lol that's it. I am not getting the mood to watch anything new. Not even writing. I imagine all sorts of things and then I don't write. Idk when this slump will go
Tomorrow my day off maybe i will try.
Haha no pressure, I'm just curious as to what you'll think lol. Even if you hate it, let me know when you try haha.
Hopefully your work pressure eases soon!
Rewatch/ reread something you like? Maybe the slump will go away and you will get motivated/inspired.
Surprising is only fine for me when two adults are in a relationship, they have spoken about this so it's expected and also not a surprise. I hate girls pushing baby on the guy cause she suddenly started to love the baby. Bruh it's your issue not his lol what sort of expectations are these
When they're in a relationship and there's a surprise pregnancy, the dynamics are different because they're in an established relationship. I don't think I've read many with that dynamic tbh. But the ones I was talking about are where the ML and FL don't know each other well and she gets pregnant. I find I don't usually enjoy because it's harder for the author to write a relationship where I can root for the couple and either the pregnancy is the focal point but it's barely mentioned.
Grumpy sunshine is fine to an extent you know both are having banter fights. I think my issue is girls keeping quiet, sometimes they will speak up hut then these ml start to manhandle the girls. I am looking for that equal push and pull.
Yes, I like reading about romances between equals. That's my problem with a lot of single dad romances and some boss/employee ones. If one is in a position of power over the other, I need to see that dynamic being equal in some way. Maybe she's bossing him around outside of work or she calls him out.
The reason I'm putting single-dad and boss/employee together is because the single dad often falls for the FL caregiver of his child which drives me crazy. You don't get that with the single mother romances (which is good).
Anytime I see ML starts to manhandle the FL or heading in that direction, I will stop reading that book. Life's too short haha.
I do like the grumpy sunshine dynamic because it's fun to read but I want more grumpy ladies with sunshine men haha.
And yeah love at first sight ew no. Insta lust is no no too. Sometimes it's ml pov and all you read about how he finds the fl sexy. That's not love. I find that very weird that these men can only think how hot the body is nothing about mind heart or intelligence
Yeah, I don't like that either. I'd rather not read about ML pov. Also in 'enemies to lovers' where the ML pov tells you that he likes her but she thinks he hates her. I find it very frustrating.
That's where I think I am stuck on crime shows cause there are male female officers working and everyone is equal . Like your bones, my ncis criminal minds special squad law and order svu etc
Yes, the dynamics in these teams are more equal in some ways than other shows.
I liked bloomies stories. When I had joined Arjun forum there were good writers back then. There is a story I still remember, very angsty but the way author had written it, tension emotion angst that was fantastic..I had one close friend back then she used to write really good thriller stories. In recent years bloomies stories I liked. I was following ariya in cid and another story. She gets the tone of arjun really well I had commented that in one of her story. But i think when you write continuously basing on same setup, after a point all stories blend in your mind.
As of now both cid etf stories are ongoing and I stopped following both lol
For Arjun, I've mostly read bloomie's work and that's what got me into the forum. I really love her versions of Arjun because like you said she writes the tone really well but he's a rootable hero and the relationship between Riya and him feels equal.
Slowly trying to find other stories now. if you have any recommendations that you remember please let me know. (Complete ones preferably. I can't start any more incomplete ones omg)
I think women writers really care about male pride over female pride. If a ml is at 100 in his emotions at the start of story, by the end he's at a 50 at max. His character remains same. I have noticed it's the women who has to go through every drama to get the prize of a man. To think even pride prejudice is same. Darcy comments that Elizabeths family is low class. She never replied that his friends are snooty rude. It was only about his pride. And Darcy don't really change. He opens up more. In contrast to Elizabeth going through all revelations all changes herself. Her world shifts.
See I disagree because I feel like both Elizabeth and Darcy have to face their respective pride and prejudices. It's just the story is following Elizabeth so we don't really see the revelations and shift in viewpoint for Darcy.
Her reply to him was all focused on his behaviour and actions. She doesn't bring anyone into it because she doesn't need to. But Darcy likes Elizabeth, his only 'problem' with her is her family and lack of money. So he needs to realise that he was wrong to judge. especially when his aunt is worse than Mrs Bennet.
So for me, both male and female pride is being explored her. Elizabeth's pride was hurt by Darcy's first comment. Had she not heard that, perhaps she wouldn't have been so determined to dislike him lol.
Lol are we following same story 𤣠I am following a story again out of spite. It's a bs story. It's p0rn at this point. But writing is fantastic and use of Sanskrit is really good. That's the silver lining
Haha no, that's not the one I'm talking about since I don't know which one you're talking about. š Good writing makes it hard to stop reading/
You know there are books out there where ml fl both are serial killers lol. I think I am fine with toxic manipulative men. I just want the fl to match with him.
Equals right?! š
This is very random but I want to read a story following the 'vamp' in TV serials who realises that the ML was a waste of space. š There was a really good one I read about Ruhi getting revenge on the Poddars here but I can't find it again.
