Addison Speaks!: What Happened to the Long Form? The Case of the Insta-Story

http://addisondewittspeaks.blogspot.com/2012/07/what-happened-to-long-form-case-of.html

"I see some claim that Todd and Carly are a slow build. To what?  Nothingness? You need to have something to build on and I see nothing going on there but plot plot plot.  Todd needs to express his point of view- cue Carly.  Todd needs to explain his past- cue Carly.  Todd needs to be objectified and they can't do it in the normal way- cue Carly.  That's not a slow build. That's exposition that's not interesting.  It's not the hint of passion that becomes something really important later. It's a way to get Howarth's shirt off and not have Todd be in a sex scene until Blair arrives. This is the hint of passion that takes a year to become something- the Todd Manning Flirt and Slow Build.  This is how it's done, Ladies and Hip Dudes."

Love this writer.
