Topic	How often does relatability factor into storytelling for you?
ai123 03/23/24 4:15:34 AM #11:	BloodMoon7 posted... Depends on if the character is supposed to represent the audience or not. I can't relate to Harry Potter because he's Harry Potter. And cause he has bad taste in girls. A huge part of Harry Potter's appeal is relatability/wish fulfillment. The quiet, nerdy kid who doesn't fit in turns out to be the powerful, heroic wizard! (While still being a schoolkid like you). Relatability is engaging with fiction at the most basic level ('I like reading stuff about people like me'), but its importance in shifting units cannot be underestimated. --- 'Vinyl is the poor man's art collection'. <cite>ai123 posted [p:979517731] in How often ...
