Re: Brainless narrators and heartless narrators (a non-fandom secret, apparently)

[(Anonymous)]

Mm...See, that reminds me of a conversation I was a part of in an rp community a long time ago. [Relevant because prose rping is, basically, writing with another person.]

Show don't tell is a good *general* rule, but telling has it's place in writing, and honestly the best writing uses both in the right places. If nothing else, there are simply somethings that you can't show without. Or, in the case of memories, you can't show without a flashback, and not every memory deserves that level of treatment.

Also, with due respect, as a someone whose been a patient of a mental ward with a personality disorder could you please not imply that we don't think anything? We do - and that's not how personality disorders work anyways.

I'm reminded of roleplaying as well. I love seeing inside the characters' heads, and even having lengthy parenthetical IC exchanges (or semi-in character? From the character's point of view and addressing the other character, but without either of them actually *saying* anything) about stuff wildly unrelated to the situation at hand. It's not just about telling the story, it's also about exploring the person telling it.
