@LWFlouisa I'm in particular agreement with that statement.

@cambridgeport90 I met this one guy that likes to hammer down rules for writing fiction that go beyond just ... basic grammar. The irony of it for every rule he makes, I've found at least one exception.

@LWFlouisa but fiction is imaginative. I mean, certain genres, I can understand why they would need to be rules, but not for the most part. And, it's even cooler when you actually mix genres together.

@cambridgeport90 Yea, for example I combine realistic fiction (in the original sense, not hard scifi) and a magical realism approach to scifi.

@cambridgeport90 Example, thoughts can be acted out in a visual format in a play.

In fact, I've seen it done from time to time.

@LWFlouisa so have I, but I forget where.

@LWFlouisa I don't think I've ever seen that. I would like to though.

@cambridgeport90 I don't quite do that, but I have adapted a non-conventional dystopian story from a fiction under 500 words, that had a lot of seemingly dull but important moments.

It was a really really dark Christmas themed stage play script/story, which seems to be a running theme.

@cambridgeport90 Ex.

It's Christmas, but it's also the Winter of World War III.

@cambridgeport90 And so Greensleeves serves to contrast with children struggling to find food in Urban development areas.

@cambridgeport90 Also I'm literally watching Wattpad self-destruct itself with users sling mud at users who use the site despite claiming to hate it.

It's like it's becoming a cult group in a way.
