Hey, y'all. It's going to have to be another discussion post this week - Tropical Storm Fay blew out my electricity, so I'm running on my laptop's battery power and my inexplicably still-running internet.

Your discussion question is:

What is the difference between tragedy and angst in fiction? Do you think there's a certain point where the line can be drawn, or does it run on a case-by-case basis? Do you think realism should be strictly adhered to, or is it okay to be a little unrealistic to bring the melodrama levels down?
