The Horned Beast of Qinghe by literaryaria

Summary:

Orphaned at age six, Wei Wuxian was adopted by Jiang Fengmian. For the next six years, he had trained and cultivated alongside his adoptive siblings, but little did he know that despite his best efforts, he would never belong there. Disheartened, he set out to find a place for himself only to go full circle as he met another pair of troubled siblings.

This time, would he get to stay beside his new family or would his illusion come crashing down on his head again?

(A Nie Sect Wei Wuxian story that’s almost as angsty as canon.)

The Light That Fails to Dim by glowingreverie 

Summary:

Wei Ying lost his parents in a night hunt. Cold and alone, he wandered the streets of Yiling for nearly two years. However, one fateful night, a tall, scary man finds him and takes him back to a place he calls Qinghe. Later Wei Ying, now known as Wei Wuxian, discovers that that tall, scary man is not bad at all. And his cowardly brother makes an even better friend than he initially thought he would. With a content feeling in his chest every day, Wei Wuxian can only hope these peaceful, happy days with his new family will last until the end of time.

Or, in which Jiang Fengmian is unaware of what happened to Wei Wuxian’s parents and Nie Mingjue takes him in and the story continues from there…

To My Sister (not really sis anymore, huh)

They said that a man's love is much more stronger than a woman's love. They said if they really do love you, they do. Why? Because it's stronger for the reason that he loves you than himself. But, I- I'm not in love with a guy. Im in love with a girl, she loves me back. Maybe, just maybe, our love will be as stronger as the love of a man. Because if i said I love her, I mean it.

I wrote this for a friend, and for the people that is in a same sex relationship. I SUPPORT YOU. ❤

Gender Change

My sister wants a Gender Change. Money isn't her problem. She just isn't sure. Can you tell me your opinions?? Thank you.

Story Questions and How They Make Your Scenes Better!

After reading Paula Munier’s book Plot Perfect, I discovered Story Questions. Everything suddenly clicked.

Write a story that plants questions into the readers mind— questions that are important enough to keep the audience interested until you choose to answer them. Answer the questions that need to be answered in order for the story to make sense, but postpone the ones that can wait for added suspense and tension! Your readers will never want to put the book down if you do this successfully.

What is a story question? There are three types:

1) The Leading Question (Primary Question)

The main question that the reader is asking that will be answered at the end of the story. It drives the plot. In a romance novel, it might be: will she find her soul mate? Or in a war novel, it might be: will they complete their mission and at what cost?

Examples: Will Dorothy find her way back home and how? Will Romeo and Juliet end up together? Will Frodo destroy the ring and at what costs? Does Elena Gilbert end up with Stefan or Damon Salvatore?

Leading questions aren’t answered until the end, so you need to weave big/small story questions throughout the narrative to keep the audience hooked.

2) The Big Story Questions (Big Scenes & Subplots)

The questions and answers that arise during the big scenes of your book. Every subplot should have a big story question that readers wonder about.

Examples: In Harry Potter, we are curious about the subplot of Snape and if he is evil or good and what is backstory is. His contrasting actions and mystery keeps us intrigued and we want to find out the answers.

Princess Leia is captured and plants an S.O.S message inside of the droid R2D2, we wonder: will the droid find someone to help rescue her and who will it be? Later on, we wonder if Luke will join Obi-Wan on his mission or return to his mundane life. Even further into the story we wonder if Obi-Wan will die or live fighting Vader in an effort to help Luke and his friends. And if he dies… how will it affect Luke?

In Hermione and Ron’s friendship/romantic subplot, we are always silently wondering if they will remain friends or become more.

3) The Little Story Questions (Little Scene)

Smaller, less intense questions that you weave throughout the smaller scenes of your story. Every page of your book should have little story questions, or even every other paragraph if you plan it accordingly. Leave a question in one paragraph and answer it in the next.

Example: [The first paragraph of The Hunger Games]

When I wake up, the other side of the bed is cold. My fingers stretch out, seeking Prim’s warmth but finding only the rough canvas cover of the mattress. She must have had bad dreams and climbed in with our mother. Of course, she did. This is the day of the reaping.

We are already asking little story questions. Who is Prim? What is the reaping? Why is her bed rough, is she underprivileged? As we continue to read, these little story questions are gradually answered giving readers a steady flow of wonder and answer, wonder and answer.

It’s a delicate balance, however. If you forget to answer a story question, or wait too long, it could frustrate your readers. During your scenes, you must anticipate what your readers are wondering/asking and then find the right time to answer/resolve these questions for the best amount of suspense!

RANDOM ARIDANTE HEADCANONS

Dante is 100% the bottom in their relationship. I think that’s even implied in the second book

If they end up adopting kids at some point, annual summer road trips are a given

During college, Dante tries to break up with Ari multiple times, not because he doesn’t love Ari, but because he misses him too much. But every time Dante tries to break up with him, Ari just says no, absolutely not, and that’s the end of it

Ari lowkey loves Sophocles just as much, if not more than Dante does, but he would die before admitting it.

In their older years, Ari just looks back at himself literally saving Dante from being killed and is like, “there was no hetero explanation for that, why tf did it take my parents literally calling a family meeting for me to realize”. It’s the kind of thing that he thinks about at night every once and a while and it makes him feel absolutely ridiculous

Dante gets jealous easily, but when he gets jealous, Ari just showers him with love and kisses and assures him that he adores him.

When they hold hands in public, if someone looks at them weird, Dante gets self conscious and tries to pull away, but Ari doesn’t let him. He just gives the person a death glare bc he knows he could kick their ass to the Canada border if they messed with him and Dante.
