Quote: Most of the occasional criticism I've seen about your work has been along the lines of "[established character] wouldn't do that" or else some continuity comment. Of these the former is the more difficult. If the reader doesn't buy the motivations of the character then suspension of disbelief is broken and the story fails. That's why I've generated a sprawling cast of own-creation characters that I can be the final arbiter of; nobody can really object to what they do as being out of bounds if I'm the one making them do it.I'm starting to have that now too, but then I worry that people are sick of seeing my "substitute Lair Legion" instead of the real thing. | |||||||
