I keep imagining the author thinking as they write:

>yeah he'll love this part
>i'll make the plot have this, he'll love that
>i'll write this sentence this way, he'll love that

All so tiring, like they are some puppetmaster behind a curtain.

>> No.14744933

Nothing is real, just some other guy behind the curtain making me feel emotions, once I realize this it ruins the whole thing. Really bothered by this

I hate any divergence from realism in TV show because i want to suspend my disbelief. I literally can't think the people as actors(too autistic) so if something happens that makes no sense i become aggravated by the dissonance.

>> No.14744961

>>14744942
I'm similar but I'm not autistic. I have done the same thing with movies since I was young, I haven't seen many. As soon as I was old enough to understand greenscreens and how there are actors and a whole film crew just watching/curating all the movements it became unbearable. I can't stand this fake shit

for you it's nonfiction

>> No.14745021

>>14744977
Even non-fiction isn't real. It's just made-up words on a paper. I just keep imagining the author writing it on a computer and it fucking ruins the whole reading experience (which I used to enjoy).

its harder to do what you are doing with authors of supernatural intelligence and a noble mission

when i write i try to make something serious and then imagine thinking about how retardered it is.

Unironically read Roland Barthes' 'The Death of the Author' and that problem should go away.

great writing is a lot less methodical than this

Great writing enters the form of beauty for it is beautiful within its own right. No calculated, yuppie-bugman formula could emulate it

what causes this phenomenon of people making up things then being upset by them, you create entirely fictional thoughts the author may not have had just to then be upset by it

Depends a lot of the writer. The less shitty ones write because they have something to say and don't give too many fucks about muh audience.

the author of a given work seeks to manipulate you and that is what he-ll succeed at doing if he-s worth his salt
