Re: "Implications"

(Anonymous) 2017-08-29 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
It's a complex question. On the one hand, it's impossible for a writer to eliminate ALL unintended implications of a story, because there will be as many interpretations as there are readers and you have no control over how someone interprets your work. Some people make mountains out of molehills. Some people see stuff that plain isn't there because they've got shaky reading comprehension or mental baggage. No author can anticipate all those possibilities.

On the other hand, there IS such a thing as sloppy writing. I'd say that if an author's intent is badly misinterpreted by the majority of readers, that's a sign their writing is not up to snuff, i.e. it's not doing the job it was intended to do. If I write what I believe is a story about a happy little apple going to market but nearly everybody sees it as a story about a homicidal orange on a metaphorical killing spree and I didn't intend that... well, from my POV, that's quite a screw up.
