There will be a second part to this specific guide, it just got too long. I'm not sure when the second part will be up though.

On a side note, you may not respect me as a person for my opinions, but at least respect my right to express my opinions. That's why there's free speech. Additionally, if you don't like any of these plots then don't read them. There will be some sort of warning somewhere on published books, and warnings on stories on the internet. This doesn't mean I'm being immature, I mean if you don't like what's going to be in the story, odds are that you're not going to like the story period, so there's no point for you to hang around a story and keep saying, "Ew this is gross! Why would you write that?" I'll explain more in the second part.
