what kinds of settings do you want to write about? (okay, not to *live* in it. I can see that, um, dystopia would hardly be an ideal hotel location.)
What creatures do you want crawling in this world?
How do you prefer your fights?
How do you like your writing?
What genre do you keep dabbling in for more retellings? Or YA in general?
The Futuristic Ones
The Futuristic Ones
You want all the dystopian books, those controlling government who think that everything is perfect....when it ends up being just not that. You might love the Lunar Chronicles, and books like The Giver. You want ALL the angst and neat plots which are interwoven with a gazillion teeny strands, and those types of retellings are your thing.
You might like: Cinder, Fairest, the Giver, Shatter Me
The Darklings
The Darklings
All the deliciously dark retellings? YES, ALL THE THINGS. Forget about follow the butterfly and white rabbits, you want White Rabids! You adore these retellings, because you thing the era of Disney is over (as much you still may want to get a tub of ice-cream and binge-watch for a while) and dark retelling are the new thing.
You might love: Splintered, Dorothy Must Die, The Sisters Grimm, Tiger Lily, Coraline
The Canonics
The Canonics
You want ALL THE THINGS. The epic fantasy retellings, give you castles and sword fights, and dragons breathing fire down your Organic Chemistry homework (as much as you many want to avoid that happening because you spent a lot of time on that essay) and you shall be happy.
You adore all the feasts and huge courtyards and, obviously magic.
You might love: Ella Enchanted, Fairest - Gail Carson Levine, Ash - Malinda Lo, The Wrath and the Dawn, Inheritance Cycle, Cruel Beauty
The Culturals
The Culturals
These are super important to you, because you want all the things in your retelling. So you're reading a novel? where's the setting and the representation and the background, you cry. You're a sucker for gorgeous worldbuilding and mouthwatering food and will want some interesting twist to your retellings.
You might love: The Wrath and the Dawn, Cinder (though there isn't a LOT of focus on the dystopian China aspect)
