Dear Fantasy Writers:
I just wanted to let you know that you don't have to do an addiction story line in every goddamn show. It's been done. Done to death. I can no longer feel any sympathy for the character who has the addiction, because it's just a lazy way for writers to "make things more interesting".
And honestly? As someone who grew up with addiction as a prominent part of my family life? It just rankles. I've had enough, thanks.
Maybe you could work on character development or something.
