Xopher @ 17 - Oh, yes, almost exactly so. With healthy population of fandom saying "we don't want to talk about structure, we just want to read/write/talk about books," (and, naturally, yet another part of the population pointing and laughing).

I find this interesting, being an example of the same arguments happening at the same time in different cultural spheres.

A week ago, a literary manifesto was published in one of the main Swedish newspapers. A group of young authors declared the teens "the decade of the plot," wanting to erase all experimentation other than that with storytelling and plot from their writing, and calling for other authors to join them in their endeavour to save the plot.

Another group of young authors immediately answered with a counter manifesto, promising to continue playing around with words and form and typography.

The Swedish blogosphere broke out in arms (for which, read debate), and it feels as if we'll be talking about this for a while.

There's a moment in the Susan Boyle clip where Cowell looks like a little boy on Christmas eve, having just got the best present of his entire life. It's at 4:02. I really like it, because it's such a human reaction.
