ksmithMonths ago, when I was in the middle of ENDGAME, everyone else posted about SF/F gripes or things that they would never use in their own work. I never got to respond to that, but now that it's fallen off everyone's radar...
...pixies. Lil tiny fairies. Wings or not. I can handle them in Pratchett--heck, I enjoy them in Pratchett--but in a modern world setting, they bug me enough to pull me out of the story. Maybe if I saw their dangerous side right off the bat, I would be more accepting. When they start out all squeaky and stuff, they put me in mind of really big mosquitoes. Just swat them with a rolled-up newspaper and be done with it.
That's all for now.
