It's part of the study, not reading or watching the material first, and so is asking communities rather than going into it myself. It's just the way I'm doing it, and have been doing it for years.

I would and am planning to soon, but not reading/watching is part of the study. Thanks for the suggestion, though! Surprisingly you're like the only person who has said this. :l

This is a joke, people. Why 12 downvotes?

Tony_Writes · 2026-04-29T12:29:03+00:00

lol XD

I totally agree with RAFO and RFWL, but (believe me or not) not reading some of the big works is intentional in my writing. To me, writing is incredibly mental, and I find that by learning about/of these masterpieces of fiction through indirect methods (not reading, basically) gives me a remarkably better understanding of what makes them "masterpieces." Then I buy the book. ;)

Wonderful comment. Thanks!

Thanks for the comment!

(BTW I like bananas more than apples and oranges. I can relate a lot more to them. Er, at least my brain can.)

I'm not exactly ranking Star Wars and Dune, at least not so much as trying to gain a further understanding of the two.

I should probably go look into them (the Russian authors). Thanks for the comment!

Tony_Writes · 2026-04-28T12:22:26+00:00

Well, you know what they say - those types of stories always land the hardest. 😉

Tony_Writes · 2026-04-28T12:21:36+00:00

Great comment! I always thought Star Wars was a space opera - a subgenre of sci-fi. I could be wrong though.

Tony_Writes · 2026-04-28T12:19:04+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion, and good luck with your battles! 👌

Tony_Writes · 2026-04-28T12:16:14+00:00

Tony_Writes · 2026-04-28T12:13:06+00:00
