User blog comment:Thunderboltshock/How to make a good backstory for your character/@comment-1942179-20140312210449

I'm wondering if you got the idea for this blog from me. Anyway, this doesn't really help much, as you're essentially stating that it's "bad because it's bad." There's no actual reasoning behind what you're saying, so it's not very convincing.

Not that I'm disagreeing with you. (Naturally, because I went over the same subject several years ago.) But if you wanna be persuasive about leading people away from bad backstories, you gotta actually point out the flaws in them. Tell them what makes it bad.
