THIS! THIS IS A THING!

World Building and the Okapi's Butt, by ursulav.

The reference to the Okapi's butt makes sense in context and, on reading that and the comments, makes me think - The World of Darkness is full of what should just be Okapi butts on sticks, and aren't. There too many Okapi, and not enough butts on sticks.

(But this is a personal gripe of mine. If you like the way the World of Darkness is written, then that's OK).

And if you don't know why I'm carping on about this, don't worry. Just read the entry about world-building, if such things interest you (and now I know I can write about Okapi butts on sticks and not have to worry about it! \o/)

(Mind you, not that I am thinking about fiction writing right now).

I thought there were other things I had to say, but apparently not!

Ooh thank you for that interesting link! Haha, Okapi butts, that example is so hilarious that it's hard to forget!
I agree with you on WoD btw, I think they started out with a lot of mystery but eventually ended up having a source/splat book about every little thing, and/or were overexplaining things.

You're welcome! I was thinking of you as I was reading it, and then what I was thinking about the WoD was confirmed and I thought, well I knew you had similar problems with the writing, so I had to share. Also it's nice to see someone say that it's OK to be vague! (And also to not know where you're going with things! Although I think that's part of at least one of White Wolf's problems).
