Re: Can A Politically Themed Story Still Be Interesting
To answer your original question, of course a politically themed story can be interesting. Good writing, a solid plot, and intriguing characters will make any story interesting. It's just not easy to do or all authors would do it.
We in the West forget sometimes how free our political climate is. In some countries, as you are probably well aware, it is VERY dangerous to write a political story. Sometimes, the only safe way is to disguise it as fantasy or science fiction."We are the people our parents warned us about!" - J.Buffett

Re: Can A Politically Themed Story Still Be Interesting
Oh.
I suppose I didn't read as deeply as I thought (I had particular works in mind), so apparently I agree some with all, or with none of them.
Anyway, I thought at least one had policies that I agreed with but fiction that bored me, and that there was at least one who's fiction I liked, but policies I didn't.
If your very curious PM me an e-mail address and I'll share more than I will here.

Sheriff: Real world politics is an inappropriate topic on this forum. Avoid it regardless of the context or circumstances.
