			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Um &#8230; erm &#8230; yeah. I don&#8217;t know. If good fiction is all about character and story alone, then it&#8217;s a non-starter &#8211; it&#8217;s just clever, Andrew Dice Clay&#8217;s bit about Jack &amp; Jill and the two-fifty. After a contemplative shot of Firefly iced tea vodka (I still can&#8217;t make up my mind whether it&#8217;s genius or terrible, but it is the only thing in the freezer, direct tequila donations to the contacts page), I&#8217;m resolved that I don&#8217;t like it. Great for clever opening sentences and great closing sentences, not so much a &#8220;story.&#8221; You fall in love with characters, and you revel/despair in their actions &#8211; mucking about with the language for the sake of showing one could muck about with the language killed horror fic in the &#8217;90s &#8211; I like to follow the character&#8217;s journey, and most of the Twitter fic stuff I&#8217;ve seen is more about the exercise than the tale, IMHO.</p>
