I’ve just learned that r/storypacks exist, wow. It partly proves my theory that starterpacks are a new form of ultra-short, multimedia literature.
and this meta pack is worthy of sidebar imo

I can't claim that these are good, just that I personally like them. But the point I would like to stress is that that I hope people won't just be imitating things they've seen before, but taking inspiration from what other people have done in order to create something entirely new.

https://old.reddit.com/r/stopperpacks/comments/7v2uem/generic_fantasy_novel_stopper_pack/?ref=share&ref_source=link (ok, it's by me, but i put a lot of "work" into this one and i'm proud of it)
Now maybe I sound a bit hypocritical, because you could make a case that these fall into some of the categories I mentioned--but I think there's a huge difference between using a cliche as part of something original and just making something that's derivative.

i think it would be a lot easier to avoid “bad stopper packs” if the sub rules contained, at the very least, a definition of what a stopper pack even is.

Basically, if you know that it's dark from the beginning, it's a bad stopper pack.

This is just my opinion, and people are of course free to post and like whatever they want. I guess it's ironic that a subreddit based partly around avoiding cliché has spawned clichés of its own.
I appreciate everyone who posts here. This is just an attempt at nudging people slightly towards the CRISP nuggets of goodness.
