Previous talk reached 500, so I start from 0.

I had 2 similar concept, but scrapped them due to predictibility. 1st about Lola taking part in an important beauty pegant, so she takes extreme measures to ensure her win like strict diet, lots of cosmetics, practicing keeping face, taking Magnesium pills to deal with stress. All combined causes her to get sick on stage, she not only loses, but also gets hospitalized for going too far. 2nd about Lynn seeking new challenge, but eventually she faces a challenge she can't take, because she gave herself too much credit. I feel so bad, when I'm called predictible. However do baby stories need to be unpredictible? I focused on cuteness in birth and bonding stories, drama and adventure in survival stories, in Lori's 18 and Melancholinc I focused on drama. With emo Lincoln many expected Maggie to appear, but surely not many expected him meeting Tabby or Ronnie saving him from depression. On the start I thought the original series doesn't have enough drama, so many of my fics had serious situations, but experimenting with dark themes is so tempting to overuse them.
