I’m not saying one is better or worse than the other, but publishing has absolutely evolved stylistically, and it amuses me to imagine Classic Authors being told (often rightly) YOU NEED TO TIGHTEN THIS UP, CUT THIS, RAISE THE STAKES, AGENTS/EDITORS/READERS NEED TO BE *GRABBED!*

But also, frex, I’m listening to THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE right now and the first good 15% of the book is zero plot, nothing but Nell driving through the countryside and odd little town, vignettes about her internal social anxiety and I like it but it would never happen now lol

This is Blowing Up (tm) so if you like really queer weird fun stories both quick-paced and slow-burn, I actually write them, and my newest thing is a Wild Ride with aliens and pirates and ghosts and you can date 5 of them (at once) and it’s just p amazing https://twitter.com/roannasylver/status/1202417042625687552?s=21 …https://twitter.com/roannasylver/status/1202417042625687552 …

This is one of the reasons I watch older movies & tv mostly. If you think about it, nobody would let Mr Rogers do his show that way now.

Mr Rogers absolutely knew that this was the direction TV was going and was implacably opposed to it It wasn't just personal aesthetics it was a whole theory of childhood development thing, the psychology of impatience and instant gratification

I hate this development in TV especially because the only kind of TV i want to watch is dumb standalone-episode shows (cop shows, hospital shows) and people just aren't making those much anymore. Everything has to have multi-episode Arcs and Development.

I think it depends on the thing - DS9 is my favorite star trek largely because of the interconnected linear storyline, but... everything also doesn’t need to BE THAT.

Not saying that there's ANYTHING wrong with slow burn but...girl....I don't have as much time on my hands as I did when I was a kid so unless there's exploding tension keeping me hooked I just cannot devote my LIFE to a slow burn

I CANNOT. -
That’s fine! Honestly none of this is a value judgement either way, just an observation on how the norms have shifted. I just find it interesting!

Fascinating
yet so true! I wonder if it’s in connection to our shorter attention span due to technological advances? You know?
I can hardly focus on...
