This was an interesting read given that I'm currently working on a Slasher/Final Girl book series. My goal with the series is to reclaim that phrase "final girl" as a source of empowerment instead of letting it rest beside the outdated archetype or tropes that come along with it.
I have gone back and forth in my head a lot on whether or not we NEED another final girl story. There's so much out there already! But then the characters annoy me with their insistence that I write them. So what's a writer to do?
I guess I just have to do my best to honor their strength while making sure not to make them too crazy ;)
flat-haired maniacs lolololol
