Hi, I’m currently in the process of outlining my upcoming story titled ‘Masked’. This story has the mafia involved is also a romance/drama and I would like tips to write a healthy story that includes the mafia.
I have noticed that many people are bashing the trope which I 100% understand and agree with but I would like tips. I personally enjoy mafia stories if done right and I’m aware this is a pg 13 app so how do I write a good mafia story? I’m 15 myself but I’m mature enough to draw a line between reality and fiction.
Here is my story description:
Join Chloe as she embarks on a journey to find the truth along with new flames. The closer she’s getting to the truth, more masked truths, secrets and feelings rise to the surface but first she must say I do.
The story follows Chloe Maddox who recently lost her fiance in an accident and she is soon bound to marry Logan King through an arranged marriage proposal. She isn’t interested to marry him due to reasons but they form a pact where they stay married together for 1 and help each other out and after that, they can divorce one another.
Logan is associated to the mafia because he is the mafia leader’s son but Logan leads a separate life away from it and is not involved in it but he has to reach out for his mafia connections. The story is broken into 3 seasons and in season 3 they plan to destroy the mafia. Both characters are very aware of the damage that mafia causes and wants to stop them. Chloe falls for Logan not because he is a badass killer because he is a kind, sweet and gentle guy that loves her dearly.
So how can I include the mafia without it being toxic? Logan isn’t your typically dark, broody, asshole billionaire either.
Tips please? Does this sound problematic?
I have always wanted to write on the Episode app and learn how to code but every time I do so, I see all these negative and toxic threads bashing people and this de motivates me. I agree with the comments that you post but the tone not so much. I hope you can help me out.
