Allison Wyss<p>So, at the simplest level, this is subtext. The subtext of a retelling is the original story. </p><p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/WritingConversations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WritingConversations</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/WritingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WritingCommunity</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/subtext" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>subtext</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Retellings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Retellings</span></a></p>
Ricardo Harvin<p>I'm terrible at understanding hidden meanings (<a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/subtext" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>subtext</span></a>) in <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/movies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>movies</span></a> and other <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>art</span></a>, so I was really bothered by <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BladeRunner" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BladeRunner</span></a> when <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Deckard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Deckard</span></a> was able to hang on by one hand with broken fingers.</p><p>It wasn't until a few years after the <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/web" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>web</span></a> was created that I found that many people had realized Deckard was a <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/replicant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>replicant</span></a>. Then that scene finally made sense to me.</p><p>That kind of impossible human feat is (still) so common in movies, I assumed it was lazy, bad <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writing</span></a> and <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/directing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>directing</span></a>, and not a clue.</p>
Allison Wyss<p>Something must have been off with my connection the past few days--I thought everybody hated my question--but it turned out I just couldn't see the replies. Hope I'm not too late now that I see them! </p><p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/WritingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WritingCommunity</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Writing</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/WritingConversations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WritingConversations</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Subtext" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Subtext</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Inflection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Inflection</span></a></p>
Allison Wyss<p>In my subtext class, we talk about inflection--how meaning changes based on _how_ words are said. This seems pretty obvious &amp; I think about how we do it in real life &amp; how actors do it. But then there's a moment of--wait!--how do we make inflection felt in writing?</p><p>So: Just describing it, of course. Emphasis through rhythm &amp; punctuation choices. Gesture. What else?</p><p>How do you play with inflection in your dialogue?</p><p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/WritingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WritingCommunity</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Writing</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/WritingConversations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WritingConversations</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Subtext" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Subtext</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Inflection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Inflection</span></a></p>
Allison Wyss<p>This time I wrote about Megan Gidding's The Women Could Fly and a moment that is small but truly thrilling. It's about subtext and landscape and a weirding of the way energy flows within a passage. </p><p>Also, the book is magnificent.</p><p><a href="https://bit.ly/WomenFlyLandscapeReflect" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">bit.ly/WomenFlyLandscapeReflec</span><span class="invisible">t</span></a></p><p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/WritingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WritingCommunity</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/WritersofMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WritersofMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/ReadingLikeAWriter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ReadingLikeAWriter</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Landscape" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Landscape</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Reflection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Reflection</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Subtext" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Subtext</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Magic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Magic</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Writing</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/TheLoft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheLoft</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/TheWomenCouldFly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheWomenCouldFly</span></a></p>
Allison Wyss<p>And this is really important: </p><p>It also means that writers of privilege can get away with using more subtext (and fewer explicit explanations) because there's a cultural expectation that readers with less privilege will do (or have already done) extra work to understand that privileged writer's culture. </p><p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/WrtingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WrtingCommunity</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Subtext" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Subtext</span></a></p>
Allison Wyss<p>I think a lot about how subtext is a double-edged sword. </p><p>It asks the reader to invest more fully in the story and when the reader is able to do so, it creates an incredibly rich experience. A relationship between reader and story forms. It's more alive and more immersive. </p><p>But subtext is also exclusionary to any reader who doesn't have the particular cultural experience that the subtext relies on.</p><p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/WritingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WritingCommunity</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/WritingCraft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WritingCraft</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Subtext" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Subtext</span></a></p>
