You know those hackneyed and overdone "A character who is clearly me, the writer, dies, and this is what happens next" stories? Everyone with even the slightest pretension of being an author writes something like that sooner or later. People always think they are being clever or putting a new spin on it, but (with only a few famous exceptions) they tend to be really dull, derivative, and oh so familiar. If you ever wrote one like that, that's what you'll get. Exactly that. The universe punishes you for your hubris. The people who were in their grim, dark, violently "realistic" phase when they did it get it pretty bad. But the true hell is people who were in their Douglass Adams Knockoff phase. They remain trapped, forever, in a world ruled by their own, personal attempts at dry but quirky British humour.
