What do you absolutely hate in a Creative Work? What enrages you when you see it?
This isn’t so much something that enrages me, but it is an aspect of some creative works that I find really, really annoying. And that is…stories with to much description.
I mean, I understand that stories need to have description in order to make them rich, take the reader to the setting and make the reader see what the writer sees, but to much description bogs down the story, interrupting the flow. Especially if it continues for several pages.

I’m with you. It’s probably why it took me about twelve years to finally get more than one chapter into Lord Of The Rings (which I ended up appreciating). Description has to be really, really well done (and necessary) for me to bear it.
I agree Julie. If the description isn’t well done, I feel like I have to reorient myself to what was going on before the endless descriptions.
