| Name: | A Touch of Badness |
| Theme: | The touch of badness that makes a book good. | | About: | Ever notice that most really good books don't sell? Ever notice that most bestsellers are kind of... well... awful? Did it ever occur to you that it's a feature, not a bug?
This group is for discussing the touch of badness that makes a book irresistible: What are the necessary types of badness? Why are they so popular? What are bad authors doing right that good authors do wrong? How can we incorporate those tricks into our own writing without destroying its quality?
RULES
Don't be a jerk. Also, self-modding is hot.
In the interest of drama prevention, no snarking amateurs' stories. Professionally published and self-published works are fair game. Respectful discussion of massively popular amateur works is also allowed, provided the writer is 18 or over, but remember Rule 1: Don't be a jerk.
More to follow as issues arise. In general, if it would fly on the wank communities, it will fly here. |
