Lessons Learned
What did I learn from the world of story this week?
Do not tie yourself so tightly to the format of your genre that it becomes stifling. Entertainment is more important than form. At least they need to be balanced. [Fuuto PI 09]
As long as the message is naturally coming from the setting, characters and plot, even a cheesy message like “you have to give it your all in life” can come off as relevant, cool and a little inspiring. Takahashi used a battle royale, a nihilistic young man and a young woman being abused by her mother to convey that [Geats 04]
Toshiki Inoue is showing me there is a fine line between writing a subversive story and one that is a fresh and novel approach to the genre or subject matter. [Donbrothers 30]
Fabula Ex Machina
Part brainstorm, part drafting out loud.
The idea:
What if there were guardian angels in the form of magical talking bugs sent out from Heaven to help kids?
