Re: Writers: World-building and character designing

[tabaqui]

Because, to me, a story is much more interesting and fun and satisfying to read when you can make your story work without hand-wavey exceptions or work-arounds.

(Perhaps one of the reasons most of Teen Wolf has irritated the bejeezus out of me. They ignore their own laws and lore, they forget what has gone before, they ignore realistic outcomes/fallout/consequences in favor of *story*!!, and because they do that, the stories just *don't make sense* and it really gets on my nerves.)

A really well-written story that fudge a few details or something is fine, but one that wants to have knights in armor diving into a lake and not drowning is just...meh. Or people riding horses *all day long* and then not feeding them anything but grass for a couple hours while they sleep. For *weeks*. Please - three sentences about grain rations will really help that! An aside by a character acknowledging they may very well kill their horses if they don't rest them would work wonders!

I'm not asking for an exhaustive treatise on long-distance trekking and horse care, but a nod to the fact that horses are ruminants who graze for *hours* to get the nutrition they need and can't actually go for days and weeks on nothing but a pile of hay at the end of the day.
