Of BL Writers and Dialogue - what makes and breaks?

[D3L]

 

 

 

how’d i miss that? i do skip big chunks of bl books. bad mc warhammer.

I'm especially surprised, as the Khan plays Ilya in at least one scene - it's front and center. Occurs to me that it's a good example of a dialogue scene which gives its characters something to do while they're talking, and thus gives the scene some visual interest.

have to admit, the only writers that can manage my adhd and have me read every paragraph and chapter are adb and abnett.

 

i'll go back and reread though; go is amazing game.

 

now...uno...

I live in the belief there's plenty of references to solo play uno, the shapes and colours have been adapted but it's used a form of divination psuedo-communication with the Emperors fractured spirit... The lightning tower, dark king...

Yep, that’s why Star Trek had so many 3D chess and poker scenes, depending on the series. (Poker would be way out of place in 30/40k, but it allows the same kind of scene with more than two players).

It's one thing I've used regularly in my writings. Just some sort of activity or spectacle

Regicide isn't chess, though it's obviously intended as the future version of chess.
