What kind of story grabs your attention? I'm a starting author who just found this website and I'm curious to what stories are popular here. I prefer to read fluffly, angst boyxboy stories. I'm also a very huge Kpopper, so I also read and write fanfics for my favorite ships (Ex: Markson, NamJin,VHope,YoonMin,YunJae, etc.) Alright, thanks for reading, bye~!

Sometimes, it's not actually the story itself but the cover that catches my eye. I look for something clear and original, that really explains the story. Preferably not too cluttered, but something that looks interesting and cool. The title should be eye-catching, too. Having a good synopsis that really makes someone want to read the book is the next most important thing. Also, I will seriously stop reading at page one if a story has bad grammar.
Here are some examples of books See More that grabbed my attention either for their cover or their title:

Eventually, everybody falls asleep. At this point, they’re all very close to each other without knowing it.
The fairy/rebel group removes the magic/tech from Zander so that he won’t be in love with Helen anymore.
They wake up the next morning to the local authorities and Mia’s dad riding through the forest. See More They find the young couples. Damien declares that he’s in love with Helen now, and the authorities allow the two couples to get married.
Mia grows furious at Helen for making Zander fall in love with her, thinking (rightly) that some sort of magic or tech thing was used. Zander holds her back, and Zander and Damien See More finally decide that the only way to prove their undying love for Helen is a duel to the death (with modern lightsabers, of course :p).
Damien and Zander quickly run off in search of a clear area to fight. Helen runs, afraid that Mia might attack her and hurt her. Mia stays right where she is, sobbing and mourning her loss.
Damien eventually tracks her down, and she starts running as fast as she can to get away. She eventually escapes, hidden in the deep woods. Damien, very tired from having been awake for the last day or two, falls asleep. The leader of that same (group of fairies? Or See More rebel group?) group gives him the potion/tech thing.
By total and strange luck, Helen appears (with Zander still chasing her) in that same area just as Damien wakes up. He sees her, and immediately falls in love. Damien and Zander argue about who loves her more, which makes Helen very uncomfortable and thinks that they’re both making fun of her.
However, their futuristic society apparently has decided See More to go down the path of arranged marriages. Teens often marry somewhere in their senior or junior years. Mia’s dad demands that she marry Damien, the richer of the two guys. She refuses. Her dad takes it to the local authorities, who threaten to kill her if she doesn’t accept Damien’s proposal.
Maybe...... Zander?
So far, I've chosen names:
Hermia: Mia
Helena: Helen (it really could've gone as is, but I thought that it sounds more up to date this way. What do you think?)
Lysander: Sandy See More
Demetrius: I have no freaking clue what to call him. HELP!
I'll try to work on some ideas for how to modernize it; gimme awhile, the story is very complicated and long.
Also, I don't like fighting either. I'm just asking questions...
So yeah. Read up on the Midsummer Night's Dream thing... And exactly what are we going to include in the first chapter? And who is going to actually publish the story?
And I would PM, but my dad won't let me. I can message you my writing, but not have an actual conversation.
Whatever you want.
I guess that's OK... But could I maybe write one of them? I think it would be better if we each did one person from each couple. That way the characters are more distinctly individual. What do you think?
&
Lysander
The main characters are Hermia, Helena, Demetrius, and Lysander. I think that we should write from all perspectives. I'll write two and you'll write two. Which POVs do you want to write?
How about a sort of romance? Cliched but so cute and sweet that nobody really cares. What do you think? It'd be cool to do a modern spin on something like Romeo and Juliet...
We can do normal life and/or future society
OK, I'm totally stumped. First off, what kind of genre are we going for? Historical fiction? Normal life? Or future society?
I like Percy Jackson, Divergent, the Selection, and Once Upon a Time. I'm (unfortunately) not allowed to watch anime or read other popular series like hunger games or harry potter. You?
What's your favorite genre? I like YA Fiction, dystopian future, fantasy, and romance. You?
My babies!
I write that, too. At least, I think so. I'm always fangirling over my writing, but my BFF couldn't fangirl to save her life so...
