    Do you like flashbacks in your reading? Have you used them in your writing? Let me know!

      @@authoreloisebahr I hate being pulled out of a story without an equal or greater exchange of another.

    100% I've read a bunch of flashbacks that detract from the story which felt like padding.
    Uh oh. I think you might be stepping on some toes by suggesting The Godfather 2 be altered (he said, never having seen the movie).

      I forget which channel I saw it, but I one network actually aired a version that was only the flashbacks and they stood alone as their own movie. I saw it years ago on TBS or one of those kind of cable TV channels. That always stuck with me because that's when it occurred to me that all those flashbacks stood alone as their own story.

    Do the Star Wars prequels count as a bad instance of a flashback in fiction?

    You’ve just given me an excuse to rewatch the second Godfather movie because I need to have a good reason to disagree with with you other than liking Robert De Niro 😂
