A How-To Guide to Ask Your Girlfriend to Marry You: Advice from Carey Fangbattle
The first step to this is to get a girlfriend. This may sound daunting, but it is doable! You might look back on your past attempts in this arena and cringe; it’s easy enough to say do not cringe, kill the thing that cringes. It’s another story when confronting yourself with the veritable trauma-trove of stinkers you shackled yourself with in the past. Breathe. Ask the cool girl at work to come spar with you. At best, it’s the perfect kindling for some nice sexual tension. At worst, you’re still sparring (and when you’re good at being hard to hit, it’s nice to have a challenge).
Taking it slow is cool! You can keep sparring and hitting the gym and become increasingly obvious that you want to maybe go for coffee sometime. And then, while out for coffee, if you suddenly remember you don't drink coffee, DO NOT PANIC. Tea is cool. You ever tried a Faerun Fog? It's like a latte but with tea. It's fine.
You can also try inviting her back to your place to watch a movie. Be sure to place the bowl of popcorn in such a way that would make accidental hand brushes inevitable.
Keep dropping hints that you're gay. Maybe she didn't notice.
Repeat substeps 1-3.
Get assigned to go on a work trip with her now that the flirtation has really ensued. Find the shittiest, draftiest tavern you can (there's not a lot of money in the job). Now, you might be asking: how many beds were there? And the answer is two, but don't despair! Because if you're cold-blooded, eventually she's going to get tired of your teeth chattering and will invite you to share her bed anyway!
Wake up in her arms. Super platonic like.
Oh, that actually worked? You now have a girlfriend? Great job! Never doubted you for a moment!
Now, you can go on some more dates! Have you tried the new wine and pottery place? It seems pretty cool.
Avoid your coworker at said wine and pottery place
Let her know that the whole being a reptile thing does make certain things different but! it's cool and fine and doesn’t take very much getting used to.
She's very enthusiastic and a quick learner. Lucky you.
This next step is also vital, sorry. You have to befriend this absolute himbo of a man. Neither of you consciously make an effort, you're just drawn together.
Hmm, politely turn him down after he hits on you.
Shit, that's not at all what was happening, cool cool cool.
He's cool about it though. And he has skills! And he wants to learn your skills!!
Have a heart to heart conversation with your girlfriend. This will happen organically after a long day at work. You're both going to be exhausted in every sense of the word. After all, you just had to attend the funeral of a friend.
She'll tell you she had wanted to use a powerful magic item while on a mission a while back.
Recall that the terms of your employment require that you apprehend or kill members of your organization tempted to do just that.
Be so brave and not cry about what this could mean for you both one day.
…cry a little
Decide you want to marry this woman.
Drop the hint to your best friend that you want to marry this woman.
Your best friend will carve a beautiful ring for your (hopefully) future fiancé.
Keep the ring in your pocket.
Try to figure out when to pop the question.
Watch the color fade from the world.
Lose your best friend.
Mourn him.
Discover your best friend was an alien from another plane of existence.
Discover that he didn't actually die.
Asshole, who keeps that kind of thing from a best friend!
Nearly lose the love of your life in the fray of battle.
Lose your shit.
Survive the apocalypse.
Mourn your friends.
And finally, when the dust has settled and you're finally back together in your bed, wince when you realize the ring box is digging into your hip.
Shift your weight and be weird for a minute
She's going to laugh a little. This is good. She loves you, after all.
Forget every single romantic notion you've ever come up with and tell her instead that you'd like to spend every near-apocalypse with her for as long as you both shall live.
She'll say yes, yes, ten thousand times yes.
She'll cry.
You'll cry.
And now you're engaged!
Start planning the wedding.
…Good luck

How would Skz react if you came home from a long day at work? Like you’re just sore and want to complain about it. How would they take care of you stuff like that y’know 🤭

Chan ♡ he’ll ask you how your day was as he gives you a kiss and when you just glare or ain't at him he knows he’s in for it.
Sits with you as you complain about the days effects. Never interjects he’s just an ear and doesn't mind hearing about your grievances with that one co-worker who thinks she’s a manager when she's only been there a few months
Lee Know ♡ listens and adds in commentary. Especially if that one co-worker you don't like was there today and was just on another one. It makes you laugh when he calls them a bitch with you
Changbin ♡ he’ll try and distract you from the day as you complain. Hates seeing you upset, especially over something stupid at work.

Hyunjin ♡ stops whatever he is doing for you. He’ll help you change out of your work clothes before curling up in bed with you as you tell him about your day.
The outrageous shit your boss had you do to the shit you heard from your coworkers about someone else. Rubbing your back and pumpkin to let you know he's listening.
Han ♡ he’s in bed watching anime when you get home. He’ll turn immediately to you when you walk into the room and he knows somethings wrong. Let's you get changed into one of his shirts and sleep pants before grew opens his arm for you top fall into— which you gladly do.
Pauses his episode and lets you rant. If it was bad enough for you to start crying, he’ll sing to you and rub your sore muscles. Just lets you get it all out until eventually, you both end up falling asleep
Felix ♡ takes notice your not in a good mood when you get home and immediately overs to run you a warm bath. cuddles up with you in the bath too and gives you a massage while you tell him about what happened the hole day. gives little shoulder and nape kisses.
Seungmin ♡ takes notice of your mood right away. Makes you some tea to relax and sits on the couch with you against his chest as you ramble about everything bad that happened. He listens as he rubs your hips and thighs
I.N. ♡ Offers an ear when you get home and just lets you get it all out before he’s pulling you into his arms and rubbing your back. doesn’t let you think about work the rest of the night. just cuddles up with you and gives the occasional kiss. maybe puts a movie on for you two

Literally begging for a Reese x reader, idc what it’s about but if you’re up to it write your heart out ❤️
Unexpected
Pairing: Reese Wilkerson x fem!reader
Summary: A sworn enemy sparks a romance at a halloween party?
Warnings: Language
A/N: sorry guys, i keep going m.i.a!
Word Count: 1.3k
Reese Wilkerson, where would you even start with this boy? You could always say you hated him, that he made your blood boil, that the thought of him made you want to jump into on-coming traffic, but that wasn't enough, that was too ordinary. To keep it short and simple, you loathed him.
Now a lot of people hated him, but you, you had to take that number one spot.
Your hatred started in elementary school, you were sat soundly in your fourth grade class, doing your maths work. Then he walked in, you had heard of Reece before, as he had been a terror in the second grade class across the hall.
"Children, we have a new student today, well kind-of. This is Reese, he moved to this class from Miss Wiggin's class, let's all be the sweetest angels we can be to him!" Your teacher spoke gently. Looking back, you felt horrible for this woman, a young twenty-something lady, in her first year of teaching having to take on the devil in a eight year-olds body for a year.
The children in the class watched as he stood blankly staring at the back wall of the room, silent.
"Honey, how about you go sit next to y/n," your teacher sweetly instructed, "y/n can you please raise your hand."
This is where it started, this very moment. Reese stalked over to the empty seat next to you, deciding to kick your seat as forcefully as an eight year-old could before sitting down. This made your pen glide over the paper, directing on your finished work.
"Are you kidding me!" You yelped, slamming your pen down, before you could even face the menace that caused this, you could hear him giggling away.
───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────
Despite this interaction happening over seven years ago he still does the same giggle everytime he does something to ruin your day, which surprisingly is multiple times a day.
For once there was nothing he could do that would properly piss you off today, since it was halloween, and you were attending your best friend, Orla Presley's party.
You were sat with her in the lunch hall when he spotted you and strided over, "what is it today Reese?" You inquired looking up at the boy. "Wanting my lunch or something? Not surprised you are fat as fuck."
"Wow y/n, where's the kindness?" he taunted, placing his hand over his heart in faux-hurt.
"I'm not in the mood, take the hint and fuck off," you deadpanned in return, making him huff and walk away. "I hate that kid."
"Well y/n, I think he has a crush on you," Orla teased, wiggling her fingers in your face, making you start to laugh.
"Oh yeah, way to get the girl, bully her until she's sixteen, sure he does," you chuckled, pushing Orla's hand out of your face.
"Who knows?" She shrugged in response before starting to chat on about her party.
Orla waved to you as she walked the opposite way from the lunch hall, her having Spanish, and you having English. Then something harshly hit you on the back of the head, before thumping off the floor, it was a metal ball of some sort, then you heard the giggle and looked up to see Reese proudly smirking.
"What the fuck Reese! Leave me alone!" You screamed, walking up to him and bitch-slapping his cheek, "you are such a freak!"
For the first time ever, Reese actually looked upset by your words, he looked affected by your hatred. All he did in return was gulp and nod, before walking away in the direction of the main school doors.
───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────
"You what?" you shrieked, turning away from the light-up mirror in Orla's room to face her in shock.
She started nervously laugh, "I invited Reese Wilkerson," she repeated sheepishly.
"Why! Why would you do that?"
"I know you hate him, but maybe you need to give him a chance, you guys would be such a cute couple!" She insisted in a persuasive tone.
"Please get that thought out of your head Orla!" you begged, before turning back around to finish adding fake blood to your neck.
You and Orla were dressed as pathetic excuses for vampire, all you did was add fake blood to your lip and neck, and darken your under eyes. Outfit-wise you both wore matching flowy black skirts that cut off mid-thigh, with little burgundy off the shoulder knitted jumpers that showed more skin than it covered.
───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────
You were standing at the drinks table flirting with the captain of the football team, Leo Krint, when he walked in. Reese fucking Wilkerson.
He was wearing a skeleton morph suit, minus the mask, and grey sweatpants over the top. You watched as Orla walked straight over to him, pointing right at you. You had to say this threw you off, but then again you were stood right in front of the drinks table, that's probably what she was indicating towards, but you wanted to find out for sure.
"Leo, I need to go, I'll find you later," you hurriedly spoke, leaning up to place a kiss on his cheek.
"Sounds like a plan gorgeous," he replied, walking towards the group of footballers.
You swiftly walked over to Orla and Reece, latching onto your best friend's arm, "Orla, a word?"
"Yeah of course, I'll be right back Reece." He simply nodded before sending you a genuine smile, the first one you'd ever received from him, matter of fact, probably the first one he's ever did.
"Are you trying to set us up or something?" You inquired, crossing your arms.
"Ding, ding, ding," she chimed, grinning at you. Although you did not look pleased, "come on y/n! Give him a chance, I spoke to him earlier he really does like you!"
You hummed for a second, looking over at the boy, who was standing there looking around aimlessly. You had to admit he was pretty cute when he's being civil.
"I mean, he isn't totally ugly, and his smile is really pretty, infatuating really." You smiled softly, "but that doesn't mean I like his personality! It is stricly superficial!"
This made Orla beam, "see! you two would be perfect! Go talk to him!" She demanded, pushing you towards him, whisper-chanting 'go' in your ear.
When you got to him Orla took off to talk to someone else, "bitch," you muttered to yourself. "Hi Reese," you hesitantly spoke.
"I just want to say that I think you look really pretty right now, well you always look pretty, and I don't know why I wanted to make you hate me! Cause now we'll never be anything!" He rapidly blurted out, you making little to nothing out.
You started to laugh, "woah Reese, honey, slow down. I have no clue what you just said."
He started to scratch the back of his neck nervously, "I think you look really pretty, don't get me wrong you always look pretty, but you look beautiful right now."
This made your heart melt, without saying a word you grabbed his hand and walked outside, "if you think all that, then why are you so horrible to me?" you softly asked, still holding onto his hand.
"I don't know," he mumbled, "I know that I fucked up any chance I ever had with you."
"Reese, you'll still have a chance, because you're clearly a sweet boy, you just don't know what to do with yourself." you commented, smiling as you saw his face light up.
"I've been in love with you, since the first time I saw you in that third grade class." He confessed, looking away sheepishly the more he spoke.
All you could think to do in return was kiss him, so that is exactly what you did, your hands slid up his chest and around his neck to rest on the back of his head. Since he was atleast a head taller than you, you had to got up on your tippy toes to connect your lips with his.
His arms immediately snaked around your waist, pulling you flush against him. When the kiss broke he mumbled something about his parents being away out and his house being empty.
Now that was an unexpected night.

Cashew n Reece
Cashew- bless his heart- is a little too.... fanboyish for Reese's tastes. When Cashew finds out that Reese is an honest-to-God time traveler, he is beyond excited and curious! Stars in his eyes and bouncing off the walls- the whole nine yards. It's a little much, admittedly.
Although, Cashew has an adventurous spirit at heart, and Reese can always admire that quality! Hell, he might even make a good companion! Once the initial excitement wears down, these two will get along just fine!

Prompts! Prompts! Prompts!
19. Man... That's going to stain (whichsoever way your heart takes you) please and thank you!
Angus was abuzz, the tips of his sneakers nearly lifting off the ground in anticipation. Carey had been kind enough to offer him rogue lessons since he became a fully fledged Bureau member. It was his enthusiastic, but non-expert lurking that got him into the Bureau in the first place, and Carey said he should learn from the best.
Lock picking was east enough, usually. Sometimes it was tedious in a way that made sweat drip into Angus's eyes, but usually it was almost relaxing. Meditative.
Sneaking was something Angus was already quite used to. See, for some reason, people usually resented his detective work on big cases. But if he was sneaky enough, there was nothing to worry about. Usually. Unless a dragonborn caught sight of him almost immediately. Then there was a little worry.
What gave Angus the most pause was the pickpocketing of it all. Carey assured him that she wasn't teaching him this for nefarious deeds or anything, but he worried that knowledge of it would tempt him into using it for nefarious deeds. And a young man like him had no business getting tangled up in a seedy criminal underground, even on a secret moon base. But Carey said that the practice was necessary. So she very carefully planted items on fellow Bureau members that he was meant to retrieve. And he did, to varying degrees of success.
His final test was to simply steal a button from Carey. Nothing too difficult. But he knew better than to think this was the kind of test he could just breeze through. Stealing the button was one thing. Making sure she couldn’t steal it back was a whole other ordeal.
His plan started at dawn. Carey usually ran laps around the campus before daylight broke. She’d usually do a few minutes of stretches before that. That was his sweet spot for actually getting a button. The rest of his day would be dedicated to his grand plan.
His heart pounded so loud in his chest he worried that that was what was going to alert Carey to his presence. But a featherlight touch while she was stretching out her shoulders and Angus had succeeded.
It felt too easy.
But, he was free to scamper off and squirrel the button away out of sight.
–
For most of the day, Angus kept checking over his shoulder, certain he was going to be discovered. But Carey was unseen all day. That worried Angus more, honestly. She moved like smoke.
So he let his guard down. It was silly, it was during dinner and he should have known that that would be when he was at his most vulnerable. But he took his bag off and set it beside himself to dig into his meal.
Of course, quick as a child’s wish, Carey was beside him. Clutched in her hand was the small box Angus hid the button in. She wasn’t smug, per se, but she was in the neighborhood.
“That was a good try, Angus! You put up a pretty good fight,” She said.
Angus frowned. “Well, Miss Carey, aren’t you going to open the box? Make sure you got the button and not just a rock or an acorn?”
Carey shrugged before running a claw over the locking mechanism on the outside of the box. Angus ducked as he heard a pneumatic whoosh escape the box.
When he looked up, Carey was covered in a thin, hot pink, glittery ink.
“First rule of roguing, Miss Carey. Always assume there’s a trap,” Angus said, a mischievous grin overtaking his face.
She let out a sigh. “You got me there, kid. Man. This is gonna stain, huh?”
“Probably, Miss.”
A glint came to Carey’s eye. She held her arms open for a hug. “C’mon Ango, gimme a hug!” She cackled in laughter as Angus bolted, hoping to keep his fancy boy clothes from the carnage.

"You have your father's eyes"
Quick micro fic based on a comment from this post I made. Thank you sm for the idea, @gods-graveyard
.
.
.
Barty looks up into the mirror, the reflection staring back at him one he despises. He looks so much like his father, too much like his father. He bows his head staring down at the sink, he can't bear to look anymore. It's so unfair that he holds so much resemblance to the cruel man, his mother's features but a ghost on him.
He looks up, head still down towards the sink but he's looking in the mirror once more. He's staring into the reflection of his eyes, the most vile colour of brown stares back at him. He winces, gripping the sink 'till his knuckles turn white to refrain from punching the mirror. He wants to claw his own eyes out and squeeze them 'till the pop.
He thinks about Evan's eyes, so unique and alluring. One a beautifully light jade green and the other a soft baby blue. Both colors he's come to favor over the years. When he looks into Evan's eyes he feels serenity, his personal safety. However, when he looks into the reflection of his own, he feels unease, it makes him physically ill.
Before he can even think he slams his head into the mirror, the glass immediately shattering upon impact. The glass pokes into his skin, blood falling down his face into the sink. He curses at the sting, yet the pain is relaxing in a way.
He takes a second to calm himself, knowing he'll have to go meet Evan soon. He turns on the sink letting the chilling water run over his hands. He cups his hands letting them fill with water soon splashing it onto his face. He lets out a short breath feeling content enough, then reaches into his back pocket for his wand. Grabbing it out he points it at the mirror first to fix it with a quick "reparo." Then he cleans up his wounds, quickly missing the sting. Finally, he points the wand at each of his eyes individually using "colovaria" to change the colour from a vile brown to a striking green.
He never wants to hear, "You have your father's eyes," again.

Hi, I hope you are doing alright ! If it's okay and it wasn't asked before, what is the best way to fluster the ros ? For.... Research purposes.
Hey there! I’m doing alright, unfortunately getting busier by the day but still goin 💪 Hope you’re doing well too friend <3
oh eheheheeh yes research purposes huh
Atlas: Understanding and patience are literally his weaknesses it makes him wobbly at the knees. Any attempt at connection and/or flirting are always met with confused, wide eyed stares as he defaults instantly to disbelief and irritation, not really believing that MC means anything by it, but continued shows of loyalty and patience towards him as he figures everything out are the quickest way to make him legitimately uncomfortable with how fast his heart is beating.
Puck: They have a pretty high tolerance for being flustered, but are absolutely useless when it comes to someone who is a good listener. They themselves try to give everyone time to speak, but when that attention and true persistence to allow them their own room is shown, they are absolutely smitten. They are pretty tough to crack under normal circumstances, but throw them a smile and get enthusiastic about the things they’re interested in, and you may as well be ringing the church bells.
Skye: She will pretty much fall for MC in any circumstances, cruelty excluded. Any attention and empathy thrown her way is instantly marriage material, and she will not make it unclear where she lies in her feelings. If anything hits her the hardest though, it’s dedication. Something about the unwillingness of a person to abandon her even when she shows off her passions makes her absolutely weak, and little displays of that dedication will always have her stunned into silence.
Reese: Anything 😔 he’s a stupid powder keg of emotion and any attempts at connection are sure to fluster him. On the surface blatant flirting usually get to him easier, and he gets much more flustered that way, but genuine, sincere comments and kindness extended his way shoot directly into his heart and he has a really hard time thinking of anything else for a bit. This man is just stupid easy to rile up.
#asks#s&s: ros#they all have wildly different reactions/defenses to flirting#closest probably being Skye and Reese#but Skye goes ehehehe and Reese goes >:(#lovely ask to recieve as my writing block finally leaves

Reach for My Hand ('Cause It's Held Out for You)
The residency at Baylor never opened up. Sarah was stuck at Med following the Robert Haywood incident and she was right. After everything, people- all staff alike whispered. About her. Her father and what happened the night he collapsed. She did her best to ignore them though.
Her days were now spent avoiding Dr. Charles unless she had to talk to him. While she also avoided Noah Sexton following her rejection of him. She should have taken April's offer to talk to her brother to get him to ease up. But after the mess with her father, she was reluctant to accept help from anyone.
Her only reprieve was her friends in the ED. They kept her busy most of the time with consults so she didn't have to talk to Dr. Charles often. Months passed and she wasn't happy by any means, but she got used to it. Because it could always be worse.
Instead, her other safety net came in the form of her brother-in-law. Or was it former brother-in-law? Sarah wasn't sure what the terminology was with Nic now gone.
"Well, well, if it isn't little Sarah Reese: big shot resident," Sarah turned at the sound of the familiar voice and Conrad Hawkins' stared back at her with an easy grin.
"What are you doing here? You didn't tell me you were coming when I was facetiming with Gigi last month!" She exclaimed as she turned and wandered closer. Allowing her half-sister's husband to wrap her in a tight hug. Chastain had sent Conrad along to scout out the Hybrid OR.
"Okay," Conrad said, a week after he got there. She had been in line to get a cup of coffee when he appeared behind her. "There are dozens of rumors flying around about you. But I don't care about them because you're going to tell me what's actually going on."
When Sarah glanced back she saw a look that she had only heard about from her big sister. There was a narrowed focus light in his eyes with his mouth turned downward. He wasn't going to let this go.
"Let me get my coffee first." She relented with a heavy sigh. Then with a coffee to warm her hands, she pulled him into a corner. Then she started with her father and his bad heart. From there she moved to his personality disorder and Dr. Charles treating him for it. Everything else that came with Dr. Robert Haywood and the fallout after just came out from there. When she was done explaining everything, Sarah lifted her gaze to look at her half-sister's husband.
"I know Nic's gone, but when everything was happening, I picked up the phone so many times to call her because she would know what to say and what to do." She told him, with a watery catch in her voice.
"Why didn't you call me?" Conrad asked quietly, "Why didn't you let me help you?"
"What could you have done, Conrad? You have Gigi and you just started back at Chastain. You have a lot on your plate. You didn't need me to add to it with my family drama."
"Sarah, you're Nic's little sister. You're Gigi's aunt. You're my family. As for what I would've done, I would've suggested you come home." Conrad pressed, tapping on the table for emphasis.
"To New York? With my mother?" Sarah pulled a face, before she shook her head, "No, thank you."
"Not New York. Georgia."
"Georgia? Why would I go there?"
"Because you'd have family-me and Gigi and a job there."
"A job?"
"At Chastain. One phone call from me and you'd have an interview in no time; you know how much Nic always hated that you moved to Chicago to finish med school."
#chicago med#sarah reese#one chicago#the resident#conrad hawkins#nic nevin#my writing#//this was only meant to be a blurb. How the hell did it wind up being a drabble?

Well, after watching Zoey 101 for the first time, I am now a Quogan fan. Which has led to me really craving two fanfics that don't exist (as far as I know):
#1
A fanfic that takes place after the prom where Logan and Quinn are out as a couple, and their friends have no idea, but they think their friends know. For those wondering how would their friends not have heard about their relationship through the rumor mill, well, Logan and Quinn's announcement ended up getting beaten by the news that Stacey no longer has a lisp.
This fanfic should be around 10,000 words or higher, be funny, and it should take a really long time for the friends to find out. Also, of course Lisa already knows everything and thinks they are super cute together, and Vance is able to figure it out quickly. Neither of them realize the rest of the group doesn't know (after all, it's so obvious!), and they are the only ones who act normally when Quinn and Logan are being affectionate, while the rest of the group has their eyes bugging out.
#2
A fanfic where Logan secretly has a thing for Quinn before they get together. There are already fanfics with this plot out there, but reading those made me want to have one that was at least 30,000 words, and has a lot of angst. I want the Logan pov (not first person mind you) where he is in denial of his feelings, then figures they'll fade away, but his feelings get even stronger over time, and he has to accept that he has genuine feelings for someone (which he's not used to, since he's only ever gone out with girls where his only interest is that they are pretty) he believes could never feel the same. They don't necessarily need to get together at the end of the fic, I think I would actually prefer an open ending. Though there could be hints of Quinn starting to develop feelings for Logan.

6 Steps to Help You Read Like a Writer
What have you learned about writing from the novels and stories that you read? Whether you love them or hate them, there’s a lot you can learn just from reading books! Today, the folks at Reese’s Book Club have shared some tips to help you read like a writer:
While there are a hundred different books offering specific writing advice from writers, critics, and educators, there is one universal truth accepted by all: to become a great writer, you have to be a great reader. This doesn’t mean reading acclaimed literature or finishing the Man Booker List each year. Instead, it means reading with a critical eye and learning from every book you pick up.
Every book has something to teach you, whether you liked it or not. Below are six areas where we teach you how to read your TBR like a writer.
1. Study the POV
Point of View, or POV, is a crucial part of every story, changing the way the reader connects with the story. First POV tends to bring the reader in by sitting them in the heads of the main characters while third POV offers a more holistic scope of the story.
Questions to Ask: How do different POVs build tension and drive drama? Which characters and I’m sympathizing with most and why? How does the story use POV to tell us more about the world of the novel?
Required Reading: The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak
2. Pacing/Structure
Chances are you’ve stumbled across a book that’s struggled to hold your attention. Examining these moments and what’s going on can help you solve for it in your own work.
Questions to Ask: When are you growing tired of the story? Is it a page count issue? A scene length issue? On a scene level, what is missing that could add drama or push the story forward? On a story level, is the plot too straightforward? How might deeper character work or plot twists create a more engaging story?
Required Reading: The Secrets We Kept by Lara Prescott
3. Stakes
Stakes are the reason we care about a story, why we’re affected so much when one character doesn’t get the love interest or when another character dies a tragic death. Notice which characters you become most invested in and why.
Questions to Ask: How do the world stakes and personal stakes interact? Are they in conflict with one another? Are they aligned? Which of these two options creates more engagement for you as a reader?
Required Reading: The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave
4. Character Arcs
As readers, we want to see characters develop and grow. Studying how this is done in a novel can help you structure character development in your own work.
Questions to Ask: How do the obstacles the characters’ face force them to pivot? What about the plot forces them to reassess their beliefs? How do other characters impact the protagonists’ behavior? How do the protagonists’ mistakes, assumptions, and ideals create new problems in the text?
Required Reading: The Alice Network by Kate Quinn
5. Secondary Characters
Don’t neglect your side characters. Think about what types of characters can bring conflict, tension, comfort, and hope to your character’s world.
Questions to ask: Who is challenging the main character’s beliefs in this world? Who is the antagonist? What does their dialogue cadence look like? How do their personalities bounce off of each other? What is their life outside of the protagonist’s story?
Required Reading: Firekeeper’s Daughter by Angeline Boulley
6. Main Character Development
We all love a morally gray character, but they are usually constructed in such a way that we as readers still fall in love with them. Character development is how you get your reader on the side of your character.
Questions to Ask: What makes you care about the characters? Especially the ones you’re not supposed to like? How does their backstory play into the situation? Does that make them more sympathetic? Less?
Required Reading: Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid
Each month, Reese Witherspoon, the founder of Reese’s Book Club, chooses a book with a woman at the center of the story. There's no formula to the books chosen to be in the spotlight, and RBC likes it that way. They make their choices thoughtfully and look for ways to deepen readers’ connection to books, authors and ourselves. LitUp by Reese’s Book Club is an underrepresented, un-agented women’s writer fellowship helping to diversify our bookshelves. To keep up with all news from Reese’s Book Club, sign up for their newsletter.
