Re: Writers: World-building and character designing

[cbrachyrhynchos]

I'm wondering what, exactly, do you think my argument is? As far as I'm aware, it's always been that the story comes first and everything around the story needs to be tuned to the demands of the story.

Does anyone really give a shit that Alexandre Dumas Pere played fast and loose with the biography of Abbe Faria, or that Shakespeare used two tourists to the Tudor court as patsies and drops the name of a post-Reformation university in Hamlet?

There's also a methodological argument here. History, economics, linguistics, and sociology are the Cinderella's stepsisters of fiction. You simply can't cram them into that glass slipper without cutting off toes.

I gave up bothering to talk to you because you missed it when I said stories don't need excessive detail. Guess what! That was agreeing with some of what you've said! But it's clear to me you just want to be right in this argument, not that you really care about stories having background details or that those details make sense.

Go on your way.
