"In order to understand literature, we must first identify why this piece of fiction was created. When you think of Commercial, what do you think of?" The class was mostly quiet. "Oh please, do not everyone raise their hands at once!" One of the students answered. "Commercial is, uh, stores, right?" Tiffany nodded. "Commercial fiction is made to sell. The hero is good, the villain is bad, and the ending will most likely be happy, unless the villain wins because the author wants you to buy the sequel." A slight chuckle came from the class. "Of course, there is nothing wrong with going down and getting a dime novel paperback for a long flight, I do it all the time."<br/><br/>"On the other side, there is Literary Fiction. And it is meant to say something about humanity, something about us. The protagonist is sometimes a hero, but the lines get much grayer than in the commercial side. Things tend to be a lot darker, but not always, it is just that when you explore an idea, there are dark places that you, as a writer, must cast a light on. But do not misunderstand me." He said, his voice becoming as gruff as it could with his impediment of missing vocal cords. "You do not need to dive into the darkness. Show it, explore it, but remember to come up for air. If all you write is misery and darkness, you will slowly lose your readers to the voracious Grue." That drew a few more laughs from the ones nerdy enough to catch the Zork reference.<br/><br/>Choko, as always, took notes. Notes were good, and fun!
