Okay, so as a counterpoint to this survey >>>

Hey writeblr I have a question!

So I often see posts in the same vein as this one here:

Things along the lines of "oh my characters are always changing the story, they're the ones that are really in charge."

[ominous-faechild]

So what do y'all think of a deconstruction of the isekai/reincarnated genre titled "Reincarnated, And My Tyrant Father Adores Me!?"

It's a deconstruction because:

1. the father isn't so much a tyrant as he is HELLA strict and emotionally constipated

2. the "reincarnated" MC was actually 16 when she died LOL. It's partially played as a running joke that "I WAS ALMOST AN ADULT UGHHHH"

3. it's very much more focused on the world/worldbuilding. The father teaches the MC to be a good leader as she grows up

4. the MC is familiar with the genre, but her backstory doesn't give her an advantage because she wasn't a fan of it

5. the reincarnated MC actually isn't overpowered and lacks confidence. She grows into her own during the story, but will never be in full control of everything

6. let's just say the MC isn't the only reincarnated character in the story lol

(like or leave a comment if you want updates on the story when it comes out)

(to fans of faerie's dawn: i'm sorry. my writing brain isn't at full capacity rn because of my injury and i don't want to ruin it)

A question for writers who share excerpts on here. Please reblog so we can get more responses.

Most of you guys are being pretty fucking mean in the reblogs. Lay tf off or I'll write all my books in 1st person and you can kiss my Georgia peach shaped ass

If you say your answers in the tags please don't be weirded out if I sneak over to your blog, like a hundred posts, and eat all your stories 🙏

Example of a "true AU" would be something like "Star Wars, but set in a high-fantasy setting." (For example, all the lightsaber duels have been replaced with sword fights or magic duels, and the space fights with magic-powered airships.) So the plot and characters remain the same, but the story is transposed to a new setting or genre.

An example of a "what if" AU would be "Star Wars but Luke and Leia were raised together." So it's the same setting, but some key plot elements (character dynamics or roles, events, etc.) have been changed.

Btw, when I exclude fanfic from this, I don't do it because of pretentiousness or anything. Fanfic is fucking awesome. I just exclude it because AUs are already such a defined part of fanfic and fanfic culture. I'm curious to see if people who don't write fanfic (though there is a lot of overlap, I know) also come up with AUs for their characters, and to what extent.

And if you've got any tips or tricks for managing these (especially as we go into nano month!), please add your best advice!
