All posts must contain a short passage of text quoted from a literary work (with attribution) and an original analysis of the passage. Posts containing little to no analysis may be removed. To avoid copyright issues, try to keep the quoted passage under ~300 words or 10% of the original, whichever is shorter.

Stay On-Topic
This is a place to discuss craft. If you cannot trace your analysis back to specific words or sentences within the quoted passage, you probably aren't being specific enough.
3
Don't be an asshole
No racism, sexism, or any other form of bigotry. If you disagree with someone's analysis, criticize the analysis, not the person.
4
No Self-Promotion
Do not promote your own work in comments or posts.
5
No genre snobbery
Literary merit is not a function of genre. Limit discussion to individuals works, not the categories to which they belong.
