Sort of. It has some continuity in terms of the main character, Kratos. But it also branches out into new territory with different mythologies and new relationships for Kratos, so it's not a straightforward continuation of the same plotline.
A plotline in a novel is basically the sequence of events that make up the story. It's like the roadmap that takes the reader from the beginning to the end.
You need to start with a unique idea. Think of something that hasn't been done before or put a fresh spin on a common theme. Then, build characters that readers can relate to and care about. Their goals and conflicts drive the plot forward.
The key elements often include the Christmas spirit, which is about kindness, giving, and joy. There's usually a character, like Santa Claus, who brings presents. Family gatherings are also common, where people come together to celebrate, share a meal, and exchange gifts. And often there's a sense of magic in the air, with Christmas lights and decorations adding to the festive mood.
To make the plotline of a Christmas story more interesting, you could focus on the relationships between characters. Maybe there's a family feud that gets resolved during Christmas. You can also play with the concept of time. For instance, a character goes back in time to experience an old - fashioned Christmas. And don't forget about the power of humor. Adding some funny situations, like a clumsy Santa helper, can really liven up the plot.
Well, one possibility could be that Asriel has some newfound power or motivation. Maybe he's been pushed to the edge and his determination to defeat Frisk is related to protecting his family or the Underground. It could also involve some sort of misunderstanding between them that escalates into a fight where Asriel has the upper hand.
Perhaps in this fanfic, Archer's family is cursed. Archer, with his archery, has to go on a quest to find a way to break the curse. Arturia could join him on this journey. She might have some knowledge of magic or ancient spells that could be related to the curse. Along the way, they face many challenges and Archer uses his archery to fight off various threats to his family.
Well, in fanfiction, it can be made to work. Imagine Bella Swan's world of vampires and werewolves colliding with Michael Myers' world. Bella, being a strong - willed character, might initially be repelled by Michael Myers but then find herself drawn to him in a strange way. The plot could revolve around her trying to figure out if there is a way to stop his killing spree without having to destroy him. She could use her knowledge of the supernatural from her own story to try and find a solution, all while being in a very dangerous and unpredictable relationship with him.
A lot of fanfictions will use this plotline to deviate from the original story. Maybe in the fanfiction, instead of just suffering in silence as she did in the show for a while, Sansa immediately starts to plot her revenge. This gives a different perspective on her character, showing her as more proactive.
Often, it starts with some build - up of tension between them. Maybe there are some misunderstandings or moments of jealousy that heighten the emotions. Then, as the story progresses, there are small, intimate moments that lead up to Annabeth's growing desire to kiss Percy.
