If All Stories Were Written Like Science Fiction Stories (2004)
- BiteCode_dev 5y agoHonestly, this would have been a great prompt in 1950.
- PoignardAzur 5y agoThis is a gem. This condenses hundreds of pages' worth of writing advice in one little deliberately-badly-written story.
- rwallace 5y agoIn fairness, there would actually be much merit to this way of writing about an airline trip if the target audience were 19th-century people who had never heard of an airplane except in fanciful speculation. It explains a great deal about air travel and adjacent parts of the setting, that a story written for a 21st-century audience who are already familiar with the setting, naturally skips over.
