There seems to be a growing trend of stories in which the cast of friends think of themselves as a family, as if being close friends isn’t good enough or something. The traditional family unit gets treated as a joke or something broken that isn’t nearly as good as the surrogate family of unrelated characters. And yet you can still do a lot with stories about families, either as who the hero associates with outside of heroing, or a family of heroes. Author Caroline Furlong goes over families in fiction and how settling down may actually be the beginning of the adventure.
Thanks for sharing! 😀
