mithen--How do you use symbolism in your stories, and are there any important symbols in your current WiP?
I love me a good symbol! And I'm lucky with wrestling because championship belts are these INCREDIBLY fraught concrete symbols of success. Like, the tag titles symbolize cooperation and partnership, and singles titles symbolize individual success, so as a character develops, the titles that they win reflect where they are. (Half of my OTP is probably about to be in a tag team with SOMEONE OTHER THAN THE OTHER HALF, this is blasphemy!)
