Speculatory thoughts

[yukinoomoni]

I've noticed a growing trend of authors who have broken into the mainstream with their stories of female protagonists who are submerged into a supernatural world inhabited by good-looking monsters. I've been reading up on it and noticed that pretty much every single of these protagonists are identical, give or take a few choice attributes. It's always the same ugly duckling-loving the hot guy-true love forever bullshit.

While I was drinking my gallon of coffee this morning, I had a thought: What if I set out and purposely created a story that opposes all of the overused tropes and trends that all of these popular stories seem to follow?

And before I knew it I had a spare notebook out and was writing down bullets of ideas.

This will probably be an interesting project.
