Fic Writer's Guide
Re: Fic Writer's Guide
#10
Epsilon's point about terminology is a good one, but I'd like to make note of a specific author that has a somewhat odd method of explaining his terminology. He doesn't have a glossary at the end, there's no exposition, nothing. He just uses the words as he sees fit, and expects you to figure it out.

It works, mostly, since it's a bit of forced immersion right at the start of a book.
That author is LE Modesit Jr.
You might want to mention that as a powerful, but *very* risky technique.--
