In Response To: Re: The Loftus Approach (Cody Miller) : When the fabric of the canon interferes with your ability to tell a good : story, then you're going to have holes because any good storyteller is : going to pick a hole over something non-engaging any day. : Your attitude greatly limits not only the quantity, but also the quality of
: Your attitude is bad for storytelling and bad for art . No it isn't. Telling a good story that is gripping and internally consistent is hard. Keeping a series of stories consistent is harder. But it is worth it both for yourself, because you get the satisfaction of making it all work, and for your reader because he knows that he can put faith in the fictional world you've created for him. A storyteller that picks a plot hole over… meh, over what? I can't even finish the sentence, because to me there is never a reason to intentionally create a hole in the interest of better storytelling. Making holes in your story is by definition worse storytelling. To claim otherwise… And this bad for storytelling and bad for art crap. Get over yourself. 'Nuff Said.
