(Anonymous) 2011-09-18 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)No one lives in a vacuum they have family, friends, acquaintances. Theon may not seem integral to the story now, but he was part of the Stark family and we follow his story to see not only to see what he does, but what his family does in the power struggles.
Did some character chapters need editing and tightening? Yes. Does he have some prose issues. I agree there as well. Need to trim out some characters? Or cut down description? No. If he'd spent less time describing his world and its varied cultures it wouldn't have felt so rich and real to me. This is high fantasy, that's part of the genre, long epic struggles, complicated character arcs, multiple povs, war and so on.
It's the luxury of fanfiction to be able to skip a lot of wholesale description, because it's instinctive to assume your reader knows the original canon and can fill in those details for you.
