This is what noblebright fantasy is all about, and why we called our boxed set <em>Light in the Darkness<\/em>. Darkness in the darkness isn&#8217;t any more interesting than light in the light. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Originally shared by Kay Solo<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a good post. I&#8217;ve seen this said about tragedy, and I&#8217;ve seen this said about conflict. They&#8217;re idealized as crucial building blocks in the storytelling formula, and while they have their place, it&#8217;s very easy to fall into the trap of adding tragedy for the sake of having tragedy, thinking that these are guaranteed forces to drive your story forward in a compelling way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This often leads to your &#8220;grimdark&#8221; stories that many people escape by reading\/writing purposefully over-the-top happy things because there&#8217;s an overwhelming amount of tragedy and hurt and depressing fluff. These are not the only ways you can keep a reader interested. Moderation in all things, and that applies especially here. It&#8217;s possible to be bland, but equally possible to go too far in the opposite direction.<\/p>\n\n      ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>        Via Sarah Rios.<br \/>\n       <a href=\"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/2016\/12\/03\/via-sarah-rios-3\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":77,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[68],"tags":[94],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2553"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/77"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2553"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2553\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2553"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2553"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2553"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
