Characters or Conflict?

[ABSTRUSE]

Shouldn't you be studying???

I guess everyone has a different personal definition of conflict.

When I posed the question, I had conflict defined as something to be overcome, i.e. negative.

Tension, I think, is altogether different and can be positive or negative.

p.s. I never meant to imply that the story would be nothing more than a graphic display of sex, but rather could interesting (possibly internally conflicted) individuals intrigue enough to make a story successful without a center-line of some obstacle they're attempting to traverse.

That's why there's a distinction between fictional conflict and human "obstacles." You're right and I think we all agree ... but it's still a great conversation!

God, must I be your fricken cheerleader?

Well, IMHO, it's not a bad thought.

But Abs, around here, you can just call me Rumple.
