I may have gotten a D in English writing, but even I can see the RED marks: Run on paragraph  |
Maybe (she said hopefully), it was a typo? He meant,
one long manuscript? I have to admit, I didn't want to say anything, but I wouldn't read it, either. It might be the best thing since sliced bread, but when I see anything along those lines, it screams "experimental fiction!" to me. Unfortunately, being who I am, and seeing many, many manuscripts per day, this usually means "hopeful author who has absolutely no clue about the craft and thus calls it experimental fiction."
BUT, ya never know. Maybe we'll all be reading about this shortly. If I'd seen 50 Shades on that Twilight Fan Fiction site (had I ever been remotely inclined to go to such in the first damn place), I would never have thought it would sell. Of course, "commercial" and "quality" are not necessarily synonymous, as we know. We likely shouldn't condemn it without having seen it first. We're better than that.
