User blog:JESSIEJJD13/Story I want PB to do/they should/could do

Here are a few genres and plots I think PB could and really should do. They have proven with masterpieces such as It Lives and Endless Summer that they fully can write some AMAZING genre books, but as of late all they do is write romances (D+D, BSC etc) and books that are horribly boring that don't pan out well (ATV, RCD etc)

Slasher murder mystery. This could be SO good. Think Scream, I Know What You Did, Scream Queens, etc. A series about a serial killer and your group has to find who it is etc. The deaths could be done really well - you could save people, not save people, it could build character when one is killed off, etc. They could even possibly make it where you have to guess who the killer is and you could be wrong, you could be the killer etc. Just a Choices Scream the TV show or something similar. Would be SO good.

A teen drama like Riverdale, 90210, etc. Now I don't mean The Freshman or HSS. I mean a serious version of those with actual drama. I think one of PB's problems is they play things too safely at times. Like for instance the LIs never get jealous, there's never any time where you have to fight for the LI like if they're with someone else, etc. And the drama is honestly so disney channel in some of PB's books (not all but their school ones)

A soap type story. Think Revenge, Nashville, Dallas, Dynasty, etc. The plots could be crazy. The drama and reveals could be amazing, and it would have their beloved romance. This could be a lot of fun!

A music plot book. RCD (but better) but in relation to music. Think Nashville or Empire. Could be a lot of fun again like the soap type story.

With all of these, while good premises, PB would need to actually handle them well. So many of their books as of late had amazing premises, and then didn't flesh out well in terms of story and revelations. These are just some ideas I had. Granted most will more than likely never be played by us, but it's still nice to think/hope that possibly one day PB will stop with the boring and romance books and return to a golden era.
