Especially: [quote="addlepated"] While I understand your point, I think that stories in general benefit from less categorization rather than more. For example, I love the Dark Tower series by Stephen King, but in trying to explain its genre (fantasy/western/sci-fi) I've potentially alienated three separate groups ("Oh, I don't like westerns. I'll pass.") than if I were to say, "It's not easily defined, but the story and characters are gripping." Everyone understands a good story, but trying to label it further sets preconceived notions and prejudices into play. Most all stories have elements of two or more genres anyway.[/quote] That is, I believe, the best explanation of "Genre vs. Story" I have ever read.[/quote] Options HTML is ON BBCode is ON Smilies are ON Disable HTML in this post Disable BBCode in this post Disable Smilies in this post  Forum index » Meta » Puppetmaster Help Topic review Back to top Like this site and want to support it?
