097 - Jacob and H.P. Holo, The Trope Cerberus Pt 3 [Worlds Asunder]
Join us in welcoming Jacob and H.P. Holo, with special guest alter-ego/pen name Edie Skye. Jacob is the author of over fifteen books, including the bestselling Gordian Division series (with David Weber), YA urban fantasy Time Reavers, and fantasy adventure Monster Punk Horizon (with H.P. Holo). H.P.’s catalogue boasts Monster Punk Horizon, Monster Girl Tamer, and a mountain of harem fantasy adventure novels under (joint) pen name Edie Skye.
Tropes are critical factors in genre fiction. Writers who ignore them sometimes do so at their own risk. Where’s the line between subverting reader expectations, being original, and honoring genre tropes that readers crave? Together we explore reader expectations, setting up plausible twists, honoring tropes, and tips and tricks for writing profitable commercial fiction.
In Part Three, We Discuss:
Jacob and Heather’s top genre tropes in harem and science fiction
Heroism and responsibility
Power progression in fantasy and litrpg
The role of different POVs in narratives
Writing for male vs female audiences
