show vs tell
Feb. 19th, 2004 09:35 pmEver since I started to read 'how to write novels and short stories' books and read fellow slashers' rants and musings on this topic, I have been uneasy about the
show vs tell
dichotomy. And just now, on the loo, I read Gérard Genette's thoughts on the matter and got very excited!
( Finally, some interesting thoughts that debunk the myth of show vs tell! )
I am plotting a narratological analysis of slashfic. I will take one or two short fics and do a narratological exegesis of them, using Genette's and others' terminology and methods. *rubs hands* This will be fiendish fun. The only thing is: whose fic to pick? If I pick one of mine, nobody will take offense but I may be biased or blinded.
Will anyone offer themselves up as willing guinea pigs?
