I have come to the realisation that i genuinely despise this course above all others. That is all.
PS. Speculative fiction sucks.

Crime fiction is no better, trust me :)
I lie, it's okay actually :eek:
There could have been better texts though

Dune, which i read and found okay. Handmaid's Tale, which was one of the more brilliant books i've read (margaret atwood is like the most talented writer. ever. Although i heard she's not so nice in real life. O well, win some, lose some). And ofcourse the almight famous movie by mr. peter jackson. LOTR:FOTR. Great texts, hate the course.

I soooo wish that I had done Speculative Fiction instead of Crime...I tried pressuring my teacher to do it but she wouldn't teach it because she thought people might be more interested in Crime Fiction.
And thank you McLake!:D

I was pissed off in the trials that there wasn't any room left for creativity - as damnation said - and section I resembled a module B qn i.e. textual integrity

Ick, not prepared. That would be not only overdoing it, but putting your eggs in one basket as you can't be sure what the question would be. You should still practice the conventional forms of writing so the style somes to you easily...but seriously don't pre write one.
