Authors Wanted

[Herr Mullen]

He is, though personally I think he overvalues the usage of metaphor and simile. They are two devices that very rapidly become tiresome and lost their effect. A story brimming-full with unnecessary literary devices feels less like a story and more like an opportunity for the author to show off their good english grades.

I do put a large value on metaphor and simile, as well as other literary devices. Too few authors seem to do it for fear of being misunderstood, or something. Really, you can give character to the scenery, bring narrative humour to the story, and employ irony. But, really, if something's good, i'll say so. If something's bad, I'll tell you why, unless it's obvious, like Djinn.
