Okay, so I've been exploring other storytelling media and I'm starting to become more and more familiar of them. Today, as I was binge-watching anime reviews, I stumbled upon a video by Super Eyepatch Wolf on Junji Ito and how various media scares us. For those who don't know, Junji Ito is a sp00ky comics artist and writer.
I learned there that Junji Ito used to his advantage one of the printed comics' most powerful weapons: the page-turn. At first you'd be reading his comics like, "Okay, this is pretty sp00ky." Then when you turn that next page you just uncovered ONE GIANT PANEL FULL OF PURE NIGHTMARE FUEL AAAAAAAH. Then you go to sleep with the lights on and with your momma sitting beside you.
Discovering this made me question what the strengths of writing as a medium are.
So, yeah. What are the pros of writing as a storytelling medium? Aside from making the reader build the story's world in their own image, 'cause I know that already. Also, maybe add in the cons as well?
