In the end, though, there should be hope, and we want stories that are truly fun for as many different kinds of people as possible.\u201d Also, \u201cSwashbuckling adventure, deadly intrigue, and gleeful romance are some of the most obvious examples of what we\u2019re looking for, but we won\u2019t say no to more subtle or complicated topics, as long as they fit under the wider \u201cfun\u201d umbrella.\u201d
