#WritersCoffeeClub 27 Aug How traditional is your writing? Which tradition? I don't know. My writing is quite *conventional*, if only in terms of grammar and punctuation, even with the style shifted for genre and setting (e.g. even if I'm trying to parody Jane Austen I don't do indirect speech in quotes, which seems weird nowadays, I'll just suggest the style with word choices). I don't think it's a question of tradition as such. The whole idea of writing SF is too recent to have tradition.

I don't go around wishing death to people. So I wish [X] to the IDF, where [X] is whatever condition will promptly and permanently stop them sniping at children, starving a captive civilian population, and shooting desperately hungry people queuing for food. If you don't like "Death", You can suggest any better [X] you do like, or you can try and explain why you disagree with the goal of stopping them doing those things, if you're a miserably defective human being.
