Found family is such a powerful trope, especially for people from troubled home lives. King Arthur is my ABSOLUTE favourite of your books because it embodies it so well and it's such a lovely read.
I do love this trope. King Arthur and Her Knights is a fav. This is series made me want to read more King Arthur based books but I’ve haven’t found one that like hits the spot like this series. Whenever I’m in a slump I reread this series never get tired of it. Love it so much ❤️❤️❤️ For Pip’s series I loved it and how real it was as she experienced a lot of loss of loved ones in her life but grew to let the pack and Greyson in. Also loved their communication; how they were open with each other.
It's my reading slump series too! It's so sweet and it probably doesn't help that Merlin is my personal favourite of her male leads. I'm so excited for the new covers, I HAVE to get the paperbacks once they come out!
Out of all ur books King Arthur is my absolute fav because of how strong Britt's relationships are with her new friends and family. The witty back and forth jokes and dialog really remind me of my own family, always a joy to read ur books!
Found family is awesome. I love that you use the stories to point out you can still choose your family. So many stories with found family are about how the MC has an awful home life and gets to choose less toxic (because it almost never seems to be nontoxic with these stories) people to build a family with, but they rarely seem to deal with the idea of actually choosing to get close to your family members. I think that's why Snow Queen was so awesome because she didn't just reconcile with her brother, she became his sister. As an aside, can we talk about how you threw the "strong female character" trope on its head with Sleeping Beauty? Because that was fantastic! She's strong, she's female, and she starts out with a plan to be a gold digger! Then, she pushes back against her controlling family and the idiot she fell for! I mean, I love Isaia, but still... Noble. Idiot.
I think the October Daye series is a great found family series. It takes a couple of books for her to build half of the found family that she currently has. (Next book comes out in a few mounts, and it includes an ally's betrayal! - This really isn't a spoiler. It's part of the book description., and people are losing their minds trying to figure it out.)
My family is super important to me, from my family's support of me when I got a brain injury, to my support of my family and helping children who had traumatic beginnings, injuries or illness. (Getting a brain injury was good for helping me understand distraught, ill or RAD (Reactive Attachment Disorder) children and adults.) and while I can write what I know, I struggle to write what I don't know, that being... boyfriends and romance! (I didn't have time for boys at that impressionable age) LOL :D When I write, my stories tend to have strong family themes. How far are you willing to go to save your family? creating a found family. I always love a story where it shows how important a family, a support system is. I don't have a particular trope favorite, at least, I don't think I do, unless you count fairy tale retellings and jane austen fanfiction, i'm not sure those are tropes? I love a well written story that shows hope, encouragement and fun.
Another great video! I love both of those series and i have read the ending of king arthur and her knights countless times as that moment she reunites with her found family is just so beautiful. Some book recommendations for a found family trope: - montana ash's elemental paladin series (note: 18+ content with lots of colorful language and descriptive/heated love scenes) which is about the orphan max who is unknowingly a part of a society of elemental wielding guardians of nature and the knights that keep them safe set in modern Australia - Auburn tempest's an urban druid series (note: some more suggestive scenes) which follows an irish-canadian girl in modern canada as she comes into her family's druidic powers in modern canada. This one is a beautiful example if the found family containing both her blood family but her collecting so many others along the way Im really enjoying your viewpoints on different tropes it really cool to get insight to different elements of your books that i had implicitly known but didnt think more deeply about. For future videos id live to see more of your opinions on different book tropes like maybe enemies to lovers or trapped in another world. It would also be great to maybe see a video focusing more on the A M Sohma side of things i absolutely LOVE 2nd age of retha and wpuld love some of your thoughts about writing that series compared to your fantasy stuff and whether or not there will be more scifi series planned in the future(after the monumental task of finishing the retha series of course ;))
Thoughts on fanfiction (general)? I think I recall hearing that you aren't actually allowed to read fanfiction based on your own books (a shame) but what about fanfiction for other books or types of media? Do you have any specific fanfiction tropes that stand out for you?

My girls are so excited that their favorite author has a korok!
Is that a Korok in the background?!
