    What would you consider ODD in a story?

    When suburban morality breaks the wall in medieval settings. 'After the horse riding we had a long shower and scrubbed our teeth with the hazel twigs and a great foam of the caterpillar's trail laid on the twig, and dressed in fresh tunics and where's the toilet paper you f**kers? They had done it again. I wiped my ass on the caterpillar.'

    In my opinion, odd would be something like characters thinking in complete sentences, almost no-one does that and any story containing that sort of thing really throws me off.

    I am not going to tell you. I have decided to be kind of a mean person for a couple of weeks. I'm sorry about that, my new image.

    That is a good question. Honestly, I cannot recall reading a story thinking something was odd. I have though of things as too unrealistic, too dumb, too stupid, too not my style, too annoying etc but never odd. :cool: Probably because I have odd taste myself.
