The magic mirror trope... who has done it well? Faves? Authors, how have you made this trope fresh and new?

@liminalfiction On the author end, sounds like @Jaden2 is reworking the magic mirror concept as a mechanism for time travel in his WIP, which is pretty cool #TimeTravelAuthors

Yall know I'm tryna write a time travel novel. Someone recommended a hashtag on dis app fo feedback. I don't remember it??
Anyways, shit dis bitch difficult ain't gonna lie. I need help ๐Ÿ˜ซ
I half way thru da 1st chapter. I got a title ' DAY ONE ' so this can reset history. Back and forward. Building in the butterfly effect. Example if the slave trade was eradicated how would that change the future?
I need help to piece this shit together?
Is this the hashtag #TimeTravel #TimeTravelAuthors ?

@Jaden2 #TimeTravelAuthors is right! A lot of the authors are in the southern hemisphere so you won't get replies right away, but everyone is super friendly and helpful!

@Jaden2 I have seen @mathtans @juliebihn and @ixtlidekami do some great brainstorming, I'm sure the group of us can help you with figuring it out!

@Jaden2 If you go super overboard in planning every scientific contingency, it can be so confusing that you get overwhelmed and give up. The most important thing is to just focus on what's going to matter for your plot. As long as you don't have a huge inconsistency (like you say that it works one way in one part & then it doesn't in a different part), most readers will not worry about the small mechanics because they'll be too interested in where your exciting story is going next :-)

@Jaden2 You can do it! It's a common pitfall when you first start writing to overthink the details and want everything to be perfect before you start. But if you've got a general ideal, you can start writing and see where it takes you, and you can go back and revise things later to smooth those details out. Beta readers will also help you catch inconsistencies, so you don't have to work it all out alone!
