Poll for Readers of Romantasy:
1.) A tragedy ending - the male lead surrenders to his fatal flaw (his persistence and loyalty to his cause) thus leading to his death while the female lead (who'd vowed to guard him with her life) can do nothing but watch?
2.) A happy ending - the rebellion succeeds, they live in a happily-ever-after type of ending and navigate this new world under the male lead's leadership (he's the leader of the rebellion and the second-born prince who had to end his older half-brother)?
3.) A false tragedy ending - the male lead dies as it is inevitable in this version of the plot, but the female lead then ventures into the land of the dead to retrieve him just in the same way that Orpheus did for Eurydice; except she succeeds. They have more time together after it was ripped away. The story then ends.
Just what, as a reader, do you think would be the more satisfying ending? Do you hope for something sad and tragic or do you hope for everyone to have a happy ending (think, "Our heroes somehow evade death and succeed!" as a filler for HOW they do it)?

A serious question: What POV do you prefer while reading books (not fanfics) and why?
I'm debating which POV to put my current original WIP in, first or third. Third is what I typically write in but first could be an interesting challenge for me and could let the readers connect to the main character more.

Rant incoming about driving: (slightly aggressive but I’m tired of it)
I swear to everything that is sacred that if YALL DONT START USING YOUR GODDAYUM BLINKERS, I WILL LOSE MY MIND. Like do some people genuinely not know when or how to use them or do they just not care? Because the amount of people weaving in and out of traffic (driving like MANIACS by the way) and failing to signal lane changes drives me up the fking wall.
OH AND STOP SPEEDING. You’re not cool if you speed, you actually look really stupid (coming from a first responder who ROUTINELY sees horrible wrecks due to preventable things such as speeding, signaling lane changes, and not riding someone’s ssa) AND endanger everyone around you. If you’re late then have some discipline to wake yourself up earlier and not have to speed to get somewhere “on time” (we know yall ain’t getting there on time, 5 minutes late and 10 minutes late are the same thing in the eyes of your workplace management; I PROMISE YOU THAT).
Had to rant. I’m sick of people driving around like idiots. How do half these fkers even get their license? And don’t even get me STARTED on semi-truck drivers—

@theycallmedoc Nah, you’re good. Just from our experiences it’s normally the cars fault, but everyone has different experiences especially depending the location in which it happens

@bIoodiedwings A side note: I hope I don’t sound or come off as rude. I am genuinely tired and that’s not my intention.

@solar_flare Like WHY at four in the morning- I just don’t understand why some people be driving like that? And then they treat anyone else like they’re the issue. Like sir you’re weaving in and out of traffic at a high rate of speed there’s no TIME for anyone to adjust to the reckless way you’re driving!

Progress Update: Prologue and Chapter 1 are completed for ALL OUTTA HAIL MARY'S (my upcoming Leon Kennedy fic). I'll write a few more before I start publishing them. Also working on the next chapter of BEFORE THE DAWN (my 911/Buck fic) in my spare time. Will have updates soon.

I can’t wait to write Leon Kennedy with actual PTSD, especially regarding dogs. Writing sad things helps me. And the bonus is it can help bring awareness so, two birds with one stone.

@Biggirl568 He fr is *cries* sad, depressed, PTSD, nightmares, probably some anxiety. The real stuff. I love writing about it

I have some Leon fic questions for you all, if you wouldn't mind giving me some opinions:
1.) I can't decide between making Blake Roosevelt (our MC) an RPD detective or if I should make him a paramedic. What would sound more interesting to you guys? To me, writing paramedics (such as Jordan St. John in my Flash/Barry Allen fic) is a lot easier because, well, it's my job and I'm around them all the time. But I also like the vibe of a detective. What I like most is either profession would be able to help our blond himbo out with puzzles lmao.
2.) I feel like Blake should be taller than Leon. So many good opportunities can come from it. The real question here is, do you think Leon would be a top or a bottom in this relationship? I almost feel like he'd be a good top or switch but I CANNOT for the life of me decide.
3.) Does anyone know of a cover shop that's currently open/taking requests? I haven't been on Wattpad in a while. I could make a temporary one myself for right now but my main focus right now is writing the actual story. It'll need a good cover in the future.
4.) I'm thinking of having Blake and Leon leaving tons of notes for each other when they get split up or have to in order to cover more ground and differentiating their handwritings with different fonts. I can put transparent images with the notes but I was wondering if I should put a translation of the text under the image, just in case the image doesn't load or if it's harder to read for someone?
That's all for now! ALL OUTTA HAIL MARY'S is currently in production, I started writing the prologue last night so it'll be coming soon.

THEME

We've fully entered the Leon craze now. New pfp, new fic coming up.
ALL OUTTA HAIL MARY'S is going to be my Leon Kennedy fic, featuring MC Blake Roosevelt; more to come soon! So far I know it will feature:
- Male OC x Leon
- Timeline: RE2 to TBD
- Two men trying to survive finding solace in each other.
- Leon was late to work because of a bad breakup that resulted in him getting absolutely wasted (true to his original reason for not being at RPD on time), so I'll be writing the lines they SHOULD have written; "I'm way too hungover for this sh--" and, "Another f--king puzzle? Who designed this dump?"
- The King of One-Liners meets the Prince of Dark Humor.
- Naively-hopeful/innocent Leon turns into PTSD!Leon, and lots of it.
- A romance based in giving each other true freedom and agency of choice; no manipulation, pushing, or ultimatums (you know exactly who I'm talking about).
- Moderate-to-slow burn romance. They're "just really close" and "good friends" to the outsider's eye.
And more to develop soon. I have so many ideas for this story, it's insaneeeee.
