A handwave may or may not be an example of bad writing, depending on how its done. Some examples may be clumsy attempts at plugging up plot holes, but others might elegantly avoid bogging down the narrative with trivial details that aren't necessary to achieve a Willing Suspension of Disbelief. They can also be funny and intriguing in and of themselves. --- Khal Kirby, warlord of the Super Star Khalasar PSN/Steam: CheddarBBQ https://goo.gl/Diw2hs ... Copied to Clipboard! |
