A very good discussion was had recently, prompted by an article on lit-blog Ward Six, called “What makes bad fiction bad?“. Not only does the article itself reveal some very big culprits, but the comment board continues with some interesting add-ons (and yes, I had to chime in, though I am not the first “Matt” post – I can’t get used to typing that. I always used to be the only “Matt” and now I have to share it!).
Enjoy.
