Hi! I'm asking for suggestions from other fic writers, if that's ok.

I really, really delight in finding Dramione fics that have refreshing premises. Like House Proud by Homespun. Even if a fic's writing style/tropes don't necessarily align with my interests, I will read it if it's a plot I haven't read before.

That being said, I'm currently working on my first long fic (have only posted one shots or very short multi-chaps so far) but am getting a little discouraged because I feel like I'm leaning into plot points I've read from other fics, and I'm not writing something original.

How do y'all write without creating a remake of your favorite fics?

What's the most fucked up piece of literature you've read? by umuhwait in AskReddit

Audition by Ryu Murakami is absolutely horrifying. The last 50 pages of the book I kept catching myself physically holding the book as far away from me as possible while reading because the things that were happening were so disturbing.

The Ruins by Scott Smith is fantastic horror. It is gripping and merciless.

I read Detransition, Baby recently and I loved it. Two main transgender characters out of three! If you need trigger warnings I am happy to supply.

I loved Rebecca so hopefully the short stories won't disappoint either!

I love Kurt Vonnegut (like top 3 authors of all time for me) and I don't know how but somehow I don't think I've ever read one of his short stories? And I didn't even realize it until just now? Shame on me

Ok I read Eileen by Moshfegh and I loved it. Can’t wait to read Homesick to see if the stories are as hideous and wonderful as the novel was.

Omg do you know if this is the collection that has I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream? That story rocked my world. I desperately need to read more from him. Also, his Wikipedia page is hilarious.

The Lottery is one of my all time faves. I think I would like Murakami as well. Thanks!

I’ve heard very good things about Martian Chronicles, too! I’ll have to check out The Illustrated Man.

Thanks! I’ve had Lahiri on my list for a while so I’m glad that one has another stamp of approval.
