Is character driven fiction more successful than plot driven fiction? @Standback, I asked the question because I had read far too many articles by "Professor" types who shouted loudly that if you want to be successful, spend a lot of time on character development. :) But as JSBangs answer below shows, this depends more on genre. |

Do all main characters require equal development? @Standback- I agree with your comments, including the ones you made to @One Monkeys reply. Maybe you are right, I dont need to spend too much time developing all the characters. |

Is character driven fiction more successful than plot driven fiction? @Standback - its a statement Ive read in blogs, books, repeated far too many times to make an impression on me, though I cant remember any particular source. As for the question, it is as the title says: Are books that lay more stress on character development more successful than ones that lay stress on plot? |

Jumping on the Zombie bandwagon the zombies will ride mutant, super intelligent Unicorns, and fire laser guns at the hero. Hows that? |

Conlang question Nice answer Craig, you said everything I was going to say, but in more detail. Adding to what you said, everytime you read a WW2 novel, the Germans dont start talking in German do they? Most books use 1 or 2 German words, like Achtung, but then stick to English for everything else. |

Conlang question I agree with Indoril. I dont like it either when authors put quotes from foreign languages, and dont translate them. It makes me wonder if they are essential to the plot, should I use google translate, or just read on? Anyway, it is insulting. |
