Oh, thanks for the recommendation! I’ve been looking at it!
Ah, yes, we think alike, Rose. This concept is something I’ve been considering for a while now (though not in the exact way you explained it, so thanks for mentioning it). There is plot question of ‘what would happen if the villains won?’ and making a series about the aftermath of that. There is the plot question of ‘what happens after the protagonists won/got what they wanted?’ which could lead to everything you explained. Fantastic idea.
Ohhh, that’s a great idea too! It would be really interesting, just seeing how they’re trying to hunt down the rebels now. That has a lot of potential too! You could easily combine the ideas to a certain degree. I’d absolutely love to see what you do with it, keep me posted on the dystopia idea!
Interesting. Very interesting actually. I’ve also considered the idea of the chosen one trope where the chosen one turns bad or dies. Lots of room for ideas there.
Honestly, I don’t care much for the chosen one trope, but any subversion of it is absolutely fantastic. I accidentally wrote it into my story, and it’s surprisingly one of my favorite elements of the first book.
Basically, it’s a chosen one that isn’t the main character. It’s almost as though the story is told from the perspective of a side character, and it gives really interesting dynamics. It’s an idea that’s always intrigued me and I’m planning to write even more of it in the mystery story.
