On Writing: Characters Averting Infodumps

Infodumps can break your story. Unless you’re a really good writer and aiming for a specific audience (see Tom Clancy’s The Hunt for Red October), readers getting every last detail of exactly how Magic A or Supersub B works or is theorized to work will often have their eyes glaze over and mentally check out of the story just as they would a droning lecture at a mandatory work meeting. At work this might get them frowned at, but when it’s a book they picked up for fun? It’s a death knell.

So how do we avoid this?

“Show, don’t tell” is classic for a reason; as much as possible, you want readers to see and hear what’s important to the story, not get it secondhand from a character. But sometimes there’s no other option. The hero is questioning the last survivor of a doomed outpost, or there’s only one scientist who has even part of the background to solve this dimensional tear and he has to think out loud....

Note those examples have one person with all the information. Perfect setup for infodump, alas. But what if you could make it two people? That opens up a host of possibilities.

Stargate: SG-1 used this very, very well. Four people on the team; colonel leading, archaeologist, astrophysicist, and Teal’c (expert at many things, but had more local galactic knowledge than the rest of the team). Some viewers have quipped that you have one person working a problem while the other three kibitz, and that’s a legit take on it. But a lot of the time what’s going on there is that one person has most of the information needed to solve the problem... but maybe not all of it. The rest of the team offers suggestions, asks for clarification (which goes a long way toward helping you figure out what a problem is!), commits random acts of sarcasm to lower the tension enough to think....

And many times it’s not just one of the team that has the info. Daniel’s translating the glyphs, Sam’s reading how those star constellations have drifted since the last time the Goa’uld were on the planet, Teal’c knows why the Goa’uld haven’t come back - or why they said they hadn’t - and O’Neill puts it all together to see if this is a risk SG-1 can take, or if they need to bug back through the ‘Gate as fast as humanly and Jaffa-ly possible.

If characters are cooperating to lay out the information they have, then it’s no longer a passive infodump. It’s an active scene, with all the potential communication difficulties, differing motives, and conflicting goals of any character interaction. Your reader wants to know what these crazy characters are going to do next, and wow, aren’t they professionals, figuring out how to hack the alien deathtrap meant to drown them even as the murals vanish underwater....

This is one way to solve an infodump. Hope it helps!

THAT’S MY SUPERSUBS

[itsfootballbih]

W

- Cody and Mo✨

- Tsimi was gold

- Trent’s second half🔥

- Joey supersub

- Endo cameo🫡

- what a turnaround from everyone💫

[incorrectnwsl]

exactly Vlatko needs to coach, Alex is doing her normal US style and Sophia and Trin are playing like they do at club and those things are all different, he also makes things worse by putting Demleo in who is a great player but is a literal stranger to the entire front line so they are getting balls fed to them by someone they have never played with. its so frustrating because yes some players need to do better but his decisions make things so much worse.

I would love to see a lineup like this:

Alyssa in goal, backline mostly unchanged except move Julie to midfield and put Alana Cook back in CB. I'd also like to see KO come in at half for Foxy, not that she isn't doing fine, but KO.

And take Lindsey out, she's tired Vlatko. Start Rose and Kristie. Maybe Linds can come off the bench later, but rest that leg. We could even try Sanchez off the bench, like you brought 23 players, USE THEM.

Then front line we need Lynn, Alex, and Soph. Trin can come in as a sub at halftime. Megan Rapinoe supersub. And depending on how it goes maybe Alyssa Thompson subs in near the end.

if i spent half as much time on my homework, or anything remotely productive in the real world, as i do on writing fanfiction about three idiots in los angeles, i would be the baddest bitch alive.

anyway supersub!chris fic coming soon

[peachonified]

I'm desperate for more to read.

I have super specific tastes. Super subby bottoms who like to pretend they don't need to be put in their place.

You can throw in omegaverse and d/s verse too. Here For It.

Tops who lean heavily into sadism, but bottoms who arent masochistic, just like to please

Polyships, where one person is far and away submissive to them all

And my supersubs are Bokuto and Kise

Like... my likes are so specific, and I will worship at the altar of folks who write this.

I'm already an Obiter acolyte but trust me, theres a lot of worshipful and extreme love to go around

And I get it - it's not popular. But if you want to write for one extremely rabid fan who will read and reread your every word...

*gestures vaguely above* I'm your duck
