I only go their to torture myself.

Anyway, two people are arguing about Michael Scofield. One person's argument is the writer's aren't doing enough to explicitly tell his every emotion. Another said they're giving enough clues as to what's going on that the viewer can read it in subtext (basically). As to which is better (being given everything explicitly or subtextually so you can draw you're own conclusion) it's a matter of taste. Pretty standard, right?

Um. No. The first person, a professional writer, puts this:

it is not right to have different people reading different things.


...

So. What do we do in literature class and what those people who analyze movies and scripts do? Because, while there may be some consensus...

Also:

And no, it is not right to have different people reading different things.

I just...

This kind of goes against everything I've ever heard about reading/writing.

Over at the PB fanfic boards, there's a discussion on why there's not much fic being written about the new characters. Someone said something about people not liking or taking to characters when they're brought onto the show, someone else brought up mahone, someone countered that they felt WF brought fans in who started writing about him. I decided to jump into the discussion about it being about the character and I hadn't known WF, but I found there to be plenty to explore subtextually between Michael and Mahone in fanfic.

Immediatly after, the mod posted and said the thread was drifting off topic and Michael/mahone subtext should be discussed int the Hoyay thread and the fanfic thread is about fanfiction.

But.... but... I was talking about Michael/Mahone subtext in relation to fanfic, just as Michael/Sara gets discussed in relation to fanfic.

I remember that in the SV boards, we had a fanfic discussion and fanfic recs boards. There isn't a discussion board there, but since I wasn't discussing *what* I saw between them on the show, just that I saw something on the show and wrote fic about it, it really doesn't seem appropriate to take it to another thread.

I hate that place. I hate not being able to discuss things that make perfect sense in a place where it makes sense (ie reasons why i write fanfiction about a pairing in a thread where peopel are discussing why people are writing fanfiction about other pairings)because the fucking mod has reading comprehension problems.

I stuck my head in the Mahone thread at TWOP.
