Today we ask: What tropes are in your story (on purpose or by accident)? Which ones are you embracing, subverting, or reimagining?

Carter travels from his world to earth where he is currently finishing his medical residency. He meets Germaine at the medical center where she's a researcher. Oh, and just happens to have a teensy bit of ultra rare magic. We see him pining over her in the first scene. #camprevpit #crplunamoths
Happy Day 2 of #CampRevPit, #CRPlunamoths! For today's cabin prompt - since we're all writing romantasy (or some version of it), how did your main couple meet? What was their first scene together?

Was considering an Alice in Wonderland retelling (though that's not where it landed). Each major scene was inspired by a song. Welcome to Wonderland by Anson Seabra was an early inspo.
