When to Info Dump

                I was taught as a young writer to never ever ‘info dump’. An info dump is a paragraph (or several) that just runs the readers through info they need to know. While avoiding info dumps is typically a good practice—lots of information at once can be overwhelming, boring, or ‘cheap’—as with most things in writing, never say never. Recently, I finished a book that info dumps often, and with intention, and it worked.

                To info dump well, you actually have to do it often (or relatively often). Just one info dump somewhere in the middle or beginning of the story is going to seem like a mistake. Using it as a literary technique however, and it adds a sort of intrigue, whimsy, or discordant tone to your story.

                In this way, it becomes a quirk of your narrator’s voice. It should match or make sense with the character you are following. A super serious, meticulous character may info dump in the way they would list off the information they know. A more bubbly character may info dump out of excitement to share their interests.

                Which brings us to the type of information you can reasonably info dump without getting in trouble. Of course, the information shared should be stuff that your character would know, but also, information that they would care to share.

                For example, that serious character would info dump only pertinent, personally important information, whereas the bubbly character probably wouldn’t info dump about real estate or politics—unless of course it’s part of their special interests. A detail oriented character may only info dump about things they are noticing in the moment. A history buff would definitely info dump about culture and the past.

                Essentially, use the right amount, for the right character, with the right information, and you can pull off an intentional and well-done info dump. Otherwise, avoid it!

                What are your thoughts on exposition or info-dumping?

Waaa thank you!

NO CAUSE MY FRIEND FINALLY CONVINCED ME TO GET THAT CHARACTER AI THING ANd I saw that it only had Tsadi, Teth and like three different Samekhs so I was like "uhm hell no" so I made an Isle Elder ai and like I KNOW I WAS THE CREATOR HUT IM CRYING LIKE—

Grumpy cause they don't exist irl 😤

FUCK YES, FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT

lets not forget this important detail:

The ICJ ruled that some of the actions of Israel meet the determinations to qualify as genocide committed against Palestinians

THE ICJ RULED THAT ISRAEL IS COMMITTING GENOCIDE

This is very important to keep in mind. Now the whole world can hear it plainly:

Anyone who continues to support or defend or fund or "stand with" israel is complicit in genocide.

as upsetting as it is that ceasefire was not called, this fact is historic and vital to remember
