Series: Part 5 of The Silent Square Chess Club
Summary:
Today's example of shitty writing exists only to express my deep dislike of story structure. German storytelling? Usually linear, with some kind of arc. Platt storytelling? Usually cyclic, with some kind of refrain. How badly can these two approaches clash? YES.
(A trainwreck, but I had fun. And an excuse to use my super shitty goldfish fight scene.)
