Like, you know how popular authors tend to be the ones who make every little fact they introduce totally 'clear' (except it's too clear), and even moreso when it gets into the land of telling-not-showing a character's feelings? Maybe I'm just hating on what's basically a standard third-person narrator; maybe I've become so used to super-narrow limited third-person that regular semi-omniscient third-person just feels like nails on a blackboard.
That just sounds like you've been inflicted with bad fiction that lacks subtlety. Popular and SKILLED writing rarely = the same thing.
And now is the time I run away from this random journal I was linked to with an affirmative nod in your direction.
