Or at least it should be soon. I finally decided to ask everyone a question about plots that I’ve been wanting to ask for a while, so check it out and let me know what you think. Thanks.
Oh, and I should probably mention that I’m using my longtime online screen name of B.B. Medos for this so no one will get confused.
Yes, it does look like that.
I suppose if I really loved a set of chracters that’s ok- but only if they were showing up as side characters in another novel. I don’t think I can handle no plot at all!
Thanks. 😀
I have to say, the responses so far are blowing my mind. Really.
And there were around ten before I even got up this morning. That was unexpected. ;p
As to overused plots, I can understand what you’re saying, Zeek, because then you’re still keeping the plot in the equation. What some of the comments are saying, though, make it sound like they’d be happy with just talking characters doing nothing else. I don’t believe I’m overstating that and that I’m having a difficult time processing.
Good article.
For me, it’s all about the charaters, Baby.
The plot may be overused and tired but if I adore the characters, if they’re well drawn and I get a feel for them, then I could care less about what an author is putting them through.
However, if I don’t feel for the characters, then a overused plot stands out all the more as tired and becomes just one more point against it.
