I'm beginning to realise that the way to write good stories is to come up with some characters you really like… then torture them without mercy. Absolutely put them through the wringer. Ensure they barely survive, and that (at least if they were normal people) they'll suffer PTSD forever more. Then do it some more.

I'm not sure I have the stomach to be that kind of writer.

Nor me. I am tending towards more cosy stories: low-stakes, whimsical, affirming. Hopeful ^^

@Nall :therian: Yis, someone did mention "slice of life" as being an alternative to "conflict" as a basis for stories, so it's good to know conflict isn't the be-all and end-all!
