@theashasylum yes! Ever After High walked so descendants could trip and fall. Descendants had so much potential </3 

@StormixBlue thanks for reading my stories. i only heard of 'ever after high' and that it died, so 'disney's descendants' could be born. but i'll definitely have to give it a try.

@JordynRegular The Umbrella Academy. It's a comic book series created by Gerard Way ( yes, the same Gerard Way from MCR ) that was later adapted into television series by Netflix.

@theashasylum I'm sorry, what's TUA?

@RafeysLittleBitch have to give these characters some justice since the writers didn't ✊

YAYYY

@SimmyCore And worse yet, it probably means they're going to retcon the previous lore to make this movie work (when it already doesn't to begin with).

@SimmyCore MY POINT EXACTLY. Why are you insisting on continuing the story when you made sure to wrap up and conclude said story in the third movie?

@theashasylum exactly like there is no point of a fourth movie because everything was summed up perfectly in the third movie .

@SnowdropGirl15 Wasn't trying to be patronizing and I'm sorry if you took it that way. I was trying to be helpful by directing you to other avenues that didn't depend on directly taking ideas from other authors and explain things from my POV. And you're right, you can be inspired from the works from other authors, it's a large part of why the writing community exists and thrives. Sorry about that. 
            
            It's the "taking aspects from other authors' work" that isn't sitting right with me. I just find that there are so many other avenues and ideas just waiting to be explored in any fictional universe that it doesn't warrant taking from another author. There so many things you do can with your own story to make it stand up on its own and ultimately be its own body of work, and you're not going to get if you're using another author's work as a crutch. 
            
            
            For example: You previously mentioned that Ben is your OC's love interest. 
                - If your OC is a VK: What is their homelife on the island like and how has this impacted their worldview? Are they part of the original batch of VKs heading to Auradon or they come later? How do they adjust to living on a poverty-stricken island to the vast abundance that is Auradon? How do Ben and OC overcome their differing worldviews and build a connection? Does OC and Ben's relationship impact OC's relationship with other VKs? Was OC close to anyone left behind on the island? If so, how does OC being in Auradon impact that relationship?
                - If your OC is an AK: Are they another royal or a commoner? Do they have magic and have to hide it? How do they feel about the joining of nations under one crown? How has it impacted their life in Auradon? How do they feel about a teenager becoming king? How do Ben and OC know each other / come to know other? Does Audrey, who is originally Ben's girlfriend, like OC or does she feel threatened by them? How does OC come to know the VKs? Is she wary of them. 
             
            Hope this helps clear things up :)

@SnowdropGirl15 I’m glad that you like the series, truly, but what you’re asking for isn’t right. If you’re struggling finding inspiration, rewatch the movies or read the books. Go directly to the source, not take ideas from others. And yes, you should rewrite your drafts and take out anything used from my stories. The world is the Descendants universe is large. There are many avenues to explore that shouldn’t lead down the same one I tried to explore with my own stories.

@SnowdropGirl15 I'm sorry but I'm going to have to decline that offer. You shouldn't be using other writers' work and calling it your own - it's plagiarism, which isn't okay. 
                 In regards to my Descendants series, the plot points are straight from the movies / books, particularly the former, so you should that as your inspiration first and foremost.

@SnowdropGirl15 Hi there! I have several tips on how to write a good love triangle story:
            
            1.) Make each character (A, B, C) compelling characters in their own right. Specifically, give B (the center of the love triangle and is almost always female) a personality and active role in the story, not a reactant or plot puppet. Likewise, make sure that the entire narrative surrounding A and C (the contenders for B's love) does NOT revolve around B. They each have their own thoughts, feelings, motivations, etc. outside of B. 
            
            2.) We, the audience, need to understand why B could decide either way - why A and C are both contenders in their own right. B needs to have chemistry with both A and C, but a different kind with each of them that each work. Thus, B needs to spend time with both A and C, developing different relationships with both characters that each work equally well. 
            
            2.) Don't make it obvious which side will "win" by having B clearly favor one side before they officially choose. The entire point of a love triangle is wondering if B is going to choose A or C. The audience will only get frustrated if it seems like B already made up their up and is just hemming and hawing for no reason other than "drama." 
            
            3.) Pace the story properly. Make sure that the love triangle doesn't get resolved too quickly or dragged out for too long. There should be a certain ebb and flow in the story, which keep the readers on their toes and lead to proper conclusion. 
            
            4.) Let the triangle run its course. Keep in mind that there are only so many times B can sit down and wonder who to choose before it starts frustrating. And that B's indecision will make the readers why A or C haven't moved on. So, don't be afraid to have B wind up with A or C before the end of the story. 
            
            Thank you for reaching out. I hope that this helps you.
