Well, I'm not entirely sure of the most popular ones, but a lot of fanfics in this category might deal with how the vampires and humans interact while being very cautious about the age of consent. Some might rewrite certain scenes from the original books or movies to better fit within the age of consent framework, like a fanfic that reimagines Bella and Edward's early interactions with more emphasis on legality and mutual understanding.
There is also 'To Kill a Mockingbird' by Harper Lee. While not directly focused on the age of consent, it does deal with issues of protecting the vulnerable, which is related. Scout's youth and the way she is treated in the context of the adult world in Maycomb can be seen as touching on the idea of when a person is considered ready to make certain decisions about their own life.
A popular Washington state ghost story involves the Manresa Castle in Port Townsend. There are stories of a ghostly nun who roams the halls. Some believe that the building's history as a former Jesuit school and then a hotel has left behind some spiritual remnants. The sightings of the nun are often accompanied by a feeling of unease and coldness in the air.
There are rumors about a ghost in the library at Washington State University. Supposedly, late at night, books will fall off the shelves by themselves. It's said that this might be the work of a ghost who was an avid reader in life and still lingers among the stacks. Another story involves a dormitory where students have felt cold spots in certain rooms. They think it could be a ghostly presence, perhaps of someone who once lived there and had an untimely death.
An 'age of consent novel' can address social issues by highlighting the power dynamics in relationships. For example, if a story involves an older character and a younger one, it can show how society views and regulates such relationships. This can lead to discussions about fairness, protection, and the rights of the young.
Some options for sending short stories in WA state include local publishing houses that focus on regional literature or community-based writing competitions. Another possibility is to approach indie bookstores that might have submission opportunities for local authors.
It adds a layer of responsibility. Writers have to be careful not to cross boundaries. For example, if a writer is depicting a relationship between an older vampire and a human, they need to ensure it's within the age of consent laws, which can be challenging as the vampire's age is often much older. This can lead to more creative ways of building relationships in the fanfic.
The Old Redmond Schoolhouse in Redmond is another spooky location. It is said that the ghosts of former students and teachers can be heard and sometimes seen. There are reports of desks moving on their own and unexplained voices. It could be that the strong emotions and memories of the school's past are somehow imprinted on the building, creating these ghostly occurrences.
