A really bad dialogue quote could be 'You are my vampire soulmate.' It's just too direct and simplistic. In a well - written vampire romance, the idea of a soulmate would be developed more subtly through actions and emotions rather than just a simple statement.
Maybe something like 'I love your vampire ways, even when you drink blood.' This is just not very engaging as dialogue. It doesn't show any real conflict or depth. In good vampire romance, the dialogue should make you feel the tension between the human and vampire aspects, like 'Your need for blood scares me, but I can't stay away from you.' which shows both the attraction and the danger.
One of the worst could be something overly cheesy like 'His vampire eyes burned into me like a thousand suns of eternal love.' It's just so over the top and lacks the nuance that good vampire romance should have.
Common terms include 'romance' itself, of course. Then there is 'affection', which is a general term for the warm feelings the characters have for each other. 'Adoration' is also seen a lot, highlighting the deep love and respect one character has for another. For example, the hero in a romance novel might look at the heroine with adoration. There is also 'cuddle', which is a sweet and cozy way of showing physical closeness and love.
Sure. A story where the good - hearted main character, who has been trying hard all along, ends up dying without any hope or redemption. This is a really bad ending as it gives a sense of despair instead of inspiration to kids.
In 'To Kill a Mockingbird' by Harper Lee, there's the quote 'You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.' This shows the importance of empathy, which is a major theme in the novel. Scout, the main character, learns this lesson throughout the story as she grows up in a racially divided society.
Sure. 'It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.' - Pride and Prejudice.
Sure. 'It was a time.' is a really bad first line. It's so vague that it doesn't give the reader any idea of when this 'time' is, what kind of era, or what might be significant about it. It just leaves the reader feeling lost from the very start.
A good way to start a novel in terms of plot is to introduce a conflict right away. For example, the main character is in a life - threatening situation at the start. This makes the reader curious about how the character will get out of it. A bad way would be to start with a plot that seems to be going nowhere. Like just showing the character doing mundane daily tasks with no indication of any upcoming drama or change.
Well, 'Blubber' is also a bad name in fiction. It gives the image of someone who is overweight and perhaps a bit of a joke. It's not a name that would be given to a character with dignity or respect in most cases, and it can make the character seem less important or worthy just because of the name.
One example could be a story about a haunted house where the ghosts are extremely malevolent and there's no positive resolution. The child is left with the fear of the ghosts. Another might be a story that is just a list of chores and work that a character has to do without any interesting twists or turns. It's just plain boring.
There could be a fanfiction where the magic system is completely misused or over - exaggerated. For instance, if the White Walkers are suddenly defeated by a single spell that is never mentioned or hinted at in the original series, and it's just used as a cheap way to end a conflict. Also, a fanfiction that changes the political intrigue, which is a big part of Game of Thrones, into a simple good - vs - bad scenario, losing all the nuance and complexity that made the original so interesting.
