Well, it might imply that short fiction should be left to speak for itself and that any explanations could detract from the intended impact or the reader's personal interpretation.
I think it could mean that there's no need to provide explanations for short fictional works. Maybe the focus is on just experiencing the story without going into detailed analysis.
I guess 'Don't explain short fiction' suggests that the brevity and immediacy of short fiction make explanations unnecessary or even counterproductive. The power of short fiction often lies in its simplicity and directness.
It could mean don't be like the kind of over - the - top, often violent and chaotic stories that pulp fiction is known for. Maybe it's a call to be more sincere, less sensational, and more real in your actions or the story you're creating.
Well, 'don't be a pulp fiction' might suggest avoiding being something that's considered shallow or overly sensational. Maybe it's a call to strive for more substance and quality.
I think it means not to resist or oppose fictional ideas or stories. Just go with the flow and enjoy them.
One reason could be that short fiction often has an open - ended nature. Each reader can have their own unique interpretation, so explaining it might limit those individual understandings. For example, a short story might use symbolism in a very personal way, and forcing an explanation could take away the magic of discovery for the reader.
Because short fiction is often meant to be interpreted by the reader on their own. Each person can bring their own unique perspective and understanding to it.
'Don't be a square' is like an admonition against being too conventional or rigid. 'Pulp fiction' has that connotation of being a bit trashy but also really engaging. Maybe it's saying don't be the stodgy person in the world of this edgy, somewhat tawdry pulp fiction. It's about not being the uninteresting one when there's all this wild, fast - paced pulp - like action or story - telling going on.
Well, 'box' here might refer to being confined or restricted in some way. 'Pulp fiction' often represents a type of mass - produced, sometimes low - brow literature. So it could mean don't be like the typical, restricted characters or stories in pulp fiction. Don't be predictable or clichéd.
Well, 'square' can mean someone who is old - fashioned or not cool. And 'pulp fiction' is a type of cheap, mass - produced fiction often with exciting or lurid stories. So it might be saying don't be such an uncool person in the context of the world of pulp fiction.
It could mean not to talk about or recite made - up stories based on existing fictional works. Fan fiction often involves fans creating their own narratives using characters or settings from established franchises, and this statement might be a request to refrain from doing so.
The phrase 'don't be such a square' is a bit of a put - down, suggesting not being overly conventional. 'Pulp fiction' has its own set of tropes and characters. Maybe it's a way of telling someone not to be as one - dimensional as the common characters in pulp fiction, to be more open - minded and exciting.
