7:36p - Angst vs. tragedy
Inspired by a comment avrelia made in the last post (thanks, avrelia!) I have very strict definitions of angst and tragedy, enough so that I can usually know within a few chapters whether I’ll enjoy a “sad” book or not, but I thought it might be nice to articulate them.
(Just to make it clear, I love tragic fantasy, and think angst needs to be drop-kicked off a tall building).
Well, that was a long one. I hate angst so much, though (one reason I prefer to read humorous fanfic if I’m going to read fanfic; the amount of bad angst in fanfic is mind-blowing).
