WP The village/town/city has had the tradition of offering meager sacrifices to their guardian for centuries, in return for protection. Until recently. The people didn't see anything they need to be protected from. Turns out, the guardian was so effective at protection, and now you all lost it.

WP the party has had suspicion of their healer because despite supposedly being S rank they don't do any healing outside of potions and they do way more fighting then anyone else.

OT Fun Trope Friday: Feminist Fantasy & Historical Fantasy!

###Welcome to Fun Trope Friday, our feature that mashes up tropes and genres!

How’s it work? Glad you asked. :)

 

- Every week we will have a new spotlight trope.

- Each week, there will be a new genre assigned to write a story about the trope.

- You can then either use or subvert the trope in a 750-word max story or poem (unless otherwise specified).

- To qualify for ranking, you will need to provide ONE actionable feedback. More are welcome of course!

 

Three winners will be selected each week based on votes, so remember to read your fellow authors’ works and DM me your votes for the top three.

 



Next up… [IP](https://www.deviantart.com/marciohabermann/art/Greek-woman-marciohabermann-1297545939)

 


Thank heavens we’re done with this February love business as there are much more interesting concepts and events to celebrate! Like who knew March had so many fun ones? Owing to that, for March we’re exploring four very cool events that happen during the month. Please note this theme is only loosely applied.

 

"The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any." – Gloria Steinem

 

Trope: [Feminist Fantasy](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FeministFantasy) — March is Women’s History Month and seems a great way to round out all the cool events of the month. About half the population is female, yet the chances are that any summer blockbuster you can name will have male heroes saving the world and women as their hapless Love Interests — if they even feature at all. And if they do they'll probably only be minor characters talking about the men in their lives. So here we’re looking for a heroine to save the day.

 

Genre: [Speculative Fiction](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speculative_fiction) — Historical fantasy is a category of fantasy and genre of historical fiction that incorporates fantastic elements (such as magic) into a more "realistic" narrative. There is much crossover with other subgenres of fantasy; those classed as Arthurian, Celtic, or Dark Ages could just as easily be placed in historical fantasy. Stories fitting this classification generally take place prior to the 20th century. Films of this genre may have plots set in biblical times or classical antiquity.

 

Skill / Constraint - optional: A pillar gets in the way.

 

So, have at it. Lean into the trope heavily or spin it on its head. The choice is yours!

 

Have a great idea for a future topic to discuss or just want to give feedback? FTF is a fun feature, so it’s all about what you want—so please let me know! Please share in the comments or DM me on Discord or Reddit!

 



Last Week’s Winners

PLEASE remember to give feedback—this affects your ranking. PLEASE also remember to DM me your votes for the top five stories via Discord or Reddit—both katpoker666. This is a change from the top three of the past. In weeks where we get over 15 stories, we will do a top five ranking. Weeks with less than 15 stories will show only our top three winners. If you have any questions, please DM me as well.

Some fabulous stories this week and great crit at campfire and on the post! We had 6 stories, so we’re back to three winners. Congrats to:
