My daughter is working on an English assignment for high school where she is analyzing a short story and needs to write a pastiche based on it.
I learned about pastiche yesterday! When talking with my kid about this assignment! 😳
I’m trying to help support her but also 😳!

Making up names and words that are not easily pronounceable isn’t clever, it’s annoying. Please stop. Even in fantasy and sci-fi. And keep the new word count low.
