Re: Re: Re: Story Is All
I think we're coming to a pretty common answer here, that it is a balance between story and skill. Some times if the story is fantastic, you can over look some of the errors in writing, but on the other hand, if a story has such fantastic writing, you may force yourself through some of the more boring sections of the story.

One thing that I've found is that I'm quite fond of teen fantasy. They're a lot like popcorn. They have no nutritionally value, but they sure are pleasant. It's nice to be able to sit down some times and not have to really think about the words you're reading. When you read stories bellow you're "reading level", I guess you could say, all you have to worry about is the story itself. I do think that some writers and aspiring writers, including myself, get bogged down in the technicalities and forget the art.
