@tippitiwichet She also made a ton of crap character development choices.
I'm an oddball when it comes to fiction. Good fiction is escapist. To me escapist means that, eventually the guys in the white hats win and the good guy gets the girl. If a writer sends their characters to hell they'd damn well better write them out again, better than they were.

@TwiHusband I have a strange relationship with fiction, fascination with monsters actually comes from a place of trauma where horror/fantasy/scifi is "not real" and I can't watch drama because it's "real". So I'll dive into the macabre sometimes, but I'm also about cozies, all the way. Murder She Wrote and Midsummer Murders at the top of that list, can't count the number of times I've seen them, but I've also somehow thrown Leverage into that 'cause it's a feel good win.
@tippitiwichet Not really a murder mystery fan, or a procedural fan. I do like King and Koontz, and I liked "Knives Out" (both movies). Mainly I'm SF and fantasy....and I have an unholy love of good crossover fan fic.
The unofficial motto of The Mystery Writers of America: "Crime does not pay....enough."
@tippitiwichet If you ever want to read a really funny horror, sci fi, comedy, track a copy of "The Haunted Earth" by Dean Koontz. Had me in stitches.
@tippitiwichet If I want pain, death, and angst, while evil laughs all the way to the bank; I'll watch the nightly news.
That's why I read so much fan fiction. Fic writers, as a rule, get it.
