Re: Your stylistic quirks too precious to give up

So I majored in literature, and the worst time I had in college was reading and presenting an article about The Theory of Modern Drama, which was all about this stuff. Form and content, basically.

It literally made me cry in frustration at how difficult it made something very simple: Sometimes form and content are variations of the same thing.

Like, the style is the story. If the style distracts every reader from the story in such a way that they cannot enjoy it, and this was not the author's intent, then it's bad writing. But how often does that happen?

TL;DR: 90% of this is preference.
