>writer's block, creativitySomething I've been ruminating on for ages but never actually looked into, would webcomics be worth reading and stealing from? That half-interested, half-bored state you go into when reading a bad webcomic always made me feel creative, questioning
'how would I do this motivation better?'
'how could I do this character justice?'
'what would this story look like if it were done serious, or tighter?'
'how would you be able to sell the ambiance of this place better?'
'how would my characters navigate through this location?'
'could For Whom The Bell Tolls work in space?'
I also noticed it when reading Cthulhu Mythos stories (Lovecraft's are free online), but they're less concept-dense than the comics are- you go over more story beats in a shorter span of time, they have visual stimuli as well as characters talking, and, well, they're horror stories- they need pacing to work.
But they still hit on the same idea- they feature very fantastical scenarios, fantastical details, and the archaic fake-Byrony talk prevents you from getting properly immersed
