girls are getting into super heroes, since wonder women showed to be a great success.
i'd place my bets there.

that's the current trend. i need to think 1-2 years from now. superheroes are already being exploited.

This. Write a novel series about a tragic group of superheroes, cursed to live in the shadows, and make the protagonist a new recruit, and make everyone perpetually 16, and write like you are 16.

not superheroes. That is a crappy and niche lit genre, even below LitRPG. strong dethroned princess and private investigator women are more in, especially if they investigate the supernatural
What type of girl do you want to write and how much work are you willing to put in?

I'm willing to put in a lot of work since I'm basically a NEET right now. I would prefer for it to be contemporary, because I see myself as aiming for the female John Green, but I don't really care. I want success!

contemporary in what way? Do you want to write urban fantasy?

No, I just want to write a successful YA "romance" with a concept that's not overdone. Like when Twilight came out, vampire books weren't popular. John Green made sick lit a thing.

>vampire books weren't popular
yeah but it did not really take off till the true blood craz
>concept that's not overdone
all the cool ones are taken.

true blood isn't YA but anyway, twilight made vampires popular

>true blood isn't YA
that is not the point
>twilight made vampires popular
if you mean for women than anne rice did that

>All the cool ones are taken

Race war between idealogically opposite races and then some gullible teen getting caught up in this complex scenario aaaaannnd I just described a classic trash mundane fictional fantasy conflict book didn't I.

Make a fan fiction of 50 shades of grey

When I was a kid, Twilight made vampires popular until john green shit/superheroes took over.

if i really wanted to be famous i would find a way to turn into a tranny author and troll the shit out of Veeky Forums with elite knowledge of white guy material until you submitted to my memery the same way you did for Sam Hyde.

>When I was a kid
k.
>superheroes took over
name one popular superhero book. not a comic, a legit book.

there's a lot of them, i dont read them because i dont like superhero stuff.

anyways I will help you bounce ideas, here and now but im not going to write it for you.
Hyde is not making money.

you're being played dummy.
counter-culture image maintenance.
He makes money, not a lot but considering he's famous his stock goes up long-term.

>there's a lot of them
name one. go to goodreads and pick out a superhero book that has at least 10,000 ratings total

GET THICC

anyway i want my protag to be a girl but not as dull as bella but still relatable

He's 30 years old, had a brief stint on adult swim, no one will make anything with him and MDE is disbanded.

make her relatable in emotions but not in background. give her a ex military mom. What supernatural beings are you thinking about?

hyde was someone? I just assumed he was a random weirdo the net picked up because of his name

also side note but most books live or die based on their cover art.

nah he's famous.
name recognition.
that's worth a lot.

>he's famous
he is no more famous than chirs chan

chris chan is famous in a different way but chris chan is probably more famous than you realize.

Sell out to the publishing industry and throw a fit when your manuscript is leaked

Damn she's ho-
What a waste

Step 1: have a vagina
Step 2: write illiterate trite with thinly-veiled themes of degenerate sexuality and a teenaged cast of characters, female Mary Sue protag
Step 3: paste a theme onto it
Step 4: suck some Jew's dick to get it published
Step 5: wait for the billions to roll into your bank account

>Protag is pretty and smart but low self-confidence

Time-bomb

Remove all sense of shame

First draft = last draft = get it out the door

this is what the average fan who started reading Twilight at age 16 looks like today

write a love triangle where some really average looking woman is sought after by hunky guys

I saw someone's copy of New Moon sitting on a table at a cafe and nobody was around so I threw it in the garbage. Probation is over tbzh.

>and write like you are 16.
Implying that will be hard for Veeky Forums

>a fan fiction of a fan fiction of a movie

Meyer says that the idea for Twilight came to her in a dream on June 2, 2003.[17] The dream was about a human girl and a vampire who was in love with her but thirsted for her blood.[17] Based on this dream, Meyer wrote the draft of what became Chapter 13 of the book.[18] In a matter of three months she had transformed her dream into a complete novel,[19] though she never intended to publish Twilight and was writing for her own enjoyment.[20] Her sister's response to the book was enthusiastic and she persuaded Meyer to send the manuscript to literary agencies.[15]

She was so retarded she couldn't even come up with the idea of a vampire twink herself?

Copy all twilight, only change the consent of monsters to superheros.

This. Copy the entire plot, structure, protagonists etc. Change the names, make the vampires superheros and voila.

nice. thanks for the idea.

Soon I Will Be Invincible

Don't go the superhero route, the female protagonist needs to be helpless and require male protection.

Why not both?

This

Sharlyn Kanyon is the next step.

Shadow Hunter series >>>> twilight. Tell me I'm wrong.

*strokes chin thoughtfully*
I've got an idea for my book. Captain Star, who fights demons both internal and external with the help of her loyal dog. Her lover? Fedora Katana.

Way to overtly political. 16-year old girls who read Twilight don't give a shit about all this, they just want a brooding sociopath who loves them and recognizes how amazing they are, even if they are ~totally average~

>implying if Chris Chan were intelligent he wouldn't have capitalized on his e-cele status by now

You're doing God's work user

1. Choose a story from the good old Greeks
2. Come up with a contemporary setting
3. Your characters must be similar to your audience, slightly exaggerated
4. Re-write in modern style, add some teenage slang but don't overdo it
5. be active on social media

sounds like a spin on Avatar
