Some really hot erotica. *NM* everynametaken Send a noteboard - 20/02/2010 05:55:13 AM
By "spend time," I mean that we have to pretend that the characters of a book exist within the frame of what has been written for them, but also that they exist while not on-screen (so to speak). They don't just disappear between the PoVs in which they are featured, and they have free will outside of those PoVs. The towns exist, their individual personalities, homes, families, friends exist, etc.

You could, I don't know, hang with them while off-screen, observe or *gasp* mess up the narrative!

Otoh, which work would you avoid like The Plague?
(chuckle)
But wine was the great assassin of both tradition and propriety...
