Hi! I'm Original Work / WB: Hallmark Channel Small Town Gothic I wasn't sure exactly how to word it, so I'll try to re-word it, but basically what I'm interested in is a mildly creepy or meta take on the way that Hallmark Channel style romantic movies have extremely strict archetypes for their characters in a way that makes it feel like everything is predestined and the character's actual personalities have nothing to do with it. I was this close to putting "horror" in, but then I figured that'd be too gory and I don't really want to write or receive a ton of gore.
Mainly, I was looking for something like "A Cabin in the Woods", except for Hallmark romcoms instead of horror movies. Something genre deconstructing, and a little creepy, possibly with supernatural elements.
I'll try "WB: Hallmark Channel-style Small Town Gothic/Romcom Tropes as Predestination" and see if that works
