This makes me upset. (I clicked the link.) Usually, this sort of thing makes me giggle, or shake my head indulgently, but every so often it's an unexpected zing. I have no idea why I'm oversensitive today, but it's like, if I could just infodump like this, why am I bothering to try and tweak an intro for three months to make it, I dunno, interesting? Supppose I am the one doing the wrong thing here?
I do know why I'm oversensitive today -- I edit this sort of thing all the time, and this morning I just started reading a National! Best! Seller! that does the same damn infodumpish thing.
Bah. I'm going for ice cream. Vanilla. With Baileys. Then I will reread a chapter of Kit Whitfield. When I return I shall be calm and disinterested once more.
