And from some of the responses on here, it seems authors(of webcomics or anything) will inevitably step on their audience's buttons, especially if they deal with realistic situations. :p
--- Quote from: Mallli_kite on 26 Jan 2009, 08:45 ---A story without conflict is boring. For conflict to be interesting, it has to take place between characters about whom the reader cares, and it has to have something worthwhile at stake. Otherwise it won't work. That some people around here are uncomfortable with what's going on is sad for them, but a good indication of how well Jeph has written the story. Very cool!

Too bad writing conflict between characters that like each other can make the writer uncomfortable too.
Mallli_kite:
Superkid, exactly right. Especially in the author/audience situation, since the author has NO IDEA what buttons might be out there.
And the best writing is often that which makes the writer squirm. I forget who authored the quote, but someone once said that writing is easy -- just open a vein and bleed on the page!

You can't snap a mashed potato.

But you can heat them to where they start bubbling.

At that point they become soft and collapse upon themselves.
At least he'll go well with gravy.
