I know we've already asked what the story is about, but let's answer some more questions about it.

𓍊𓋼𓍊 If there is a villain in the story, who is it, and why are they the villain?

𓍊𓋼𓍊 If there is a love interest, what or who is sabotaging their relationship?

Did you know there are seven universal conflicts in stories? If you need a reminder, you can find more about the conflicts under the next question. Don't forget, there can be more than one conflict in a story.

𓍊𓋼𓍊 What is the conflict in your story?

𓆏Character vs. Character : 
The hero vs. the villain or the love interest not seeing eye to eye with your main character.
For example: Cinderella vs. the evil Stepmother (Hero vs. Villain) or Beauty and the Beast (Main character vs. Love interest)

 𓆏Character vs. Self
Internal conflict that can explore psychological themes about morals, doing the right things, or changing beliefs. It can be a battle between wants and needs.
For example: Elsa from Frozen, who is struggling to accept her powers.

𓆏Character vs Society
A conflict of your character with society. This is a common theme in dystopian stories. It can be about acceptance or changing a nation.
For example: Esmeralda and Quasimodo in The Hunchback of Notre Dame fighting against how society sees and judges them is an example of it. 

𓆏Character vs Nature 
Where a character fights against nature and the environment, like weather, natural disasters, or wilderness. Sometimes nature is seen as the actual good guy.
For example: Moby Dick: Ishmael vs the sea and whales, or Hansel and Gretel lost in the forest.

𓆏Character vs. Technology
Technology is a common theme in sci-fi novels. The stories show the power of technology and how ambition and greed can turn it into weapons.
For example: The first science fiction novel, Frankenstein, written by Mary Shelley, is a good example of this theme. Dr. Frankenstein vs. his own creation.

𓆏Characters vs. Fate
The character is facing their own destiny and struggling to accept their fate, whether it comes from a prophecy or something like a disease they can't overcome.
For example: Sleeping Beauty, who is cursed, and no matter what her parents and fairy godmothers try, she will end up fulfilling the curse. Or the Wicked by Gregory Maguire, where Elphaba, born green, is destined to become the Wicked Witch of the West.

𓆏Character vs. Supernatural 
The characters face against supernatural creatures or other magical forces. The conflict is close to character vs fate.
For example: Rumpelstiltskin and the Evil Queen (from Snow White) are examples of supernaturals vs. the hero of the story. But supernatural forces could be werewolves, magic, gods, ghosts, superheroes, vampires, etc.
