[quote=@GeekFactor] You can sense when a writer lacks heart and depth and feeling, and is merely placing the proper pieces in the proper order in the hopes of gaining admiration and acceptance. It's hard to describe exactly what I mean here, and I apologize, because I'm probably failing in conveying what I want to say. To try and summarize; a fantastically-written trope is just as unappealing to me as a great character idea that's poorly executed. I don't want either one. Besides that, one a cliche goes 'beyond the skeleton', it stops being a cliche. [/quote] Then in that case it’s simply not captivating writing and falls into the 2nd. There is more to writing than grammar, use of big words, and pacing.
