I'm a huge fan of subversion. Some of us are just so tired of writing to the expected notes and outcomes. And I have to believe some readers are as well.
Subversion is like a wonderful little treat whenever I find it. LIke I was looking for something misplace and there it is in the most unexpected place. It provides that little spark that makes the daily grind of life more tolerable. Three cheers for twists!
The thriller genre isn’t exactly my jam, but I think it’s so fascinating to discuss how new twists on tropes can work within storytelling! Just because a certain storyline is tried and true doesn’t mean something new can’t be good. I always love the excitement of seeing someone do something new.
Also, I find morally ambiguous heroes to be more realistic, and therefore more relatable. There are a lot more gray lines in life than I grew up believing there were.
