Re: Meh.
But that has nothing to do with atmosphere/worldbuilding, or lack thereof - it's just poor writing to have "paragraphs upon paragraphs" of *anything*. Just as if you had acres of text describing a character's backstory or past relationships without incorporating it properly into your own story or the current relationship(s) you're writing about.
If that is genuinely how you see setting, I think you've probably read some really poor fics - or poor use of setting at any rate.
Not to say you can't like or dislike whatever story elements you want to, just that setting =/= purple prose or paragraphs upon paragraphs.

(Anonymous) 2013-12-08 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)When an author does description really well, it's probably not even something a reader would notice because it'll be incorporated into the story rather than just clumsy chunks of text plopped down in the middle of the page.
