My guess is around 40% of the issue/dilemma led ones (excluding the what's your favourite flavour of crisps, i fancy/hate x celebrity/can i give my toddler calpol type ones ) are either total fantasy or heavily embellished.
Giveaways are usually
- original story too dramatic
- events move too quickly
-situation flips on its head suddenly
- massive drip feeds in the middle of the thread.
Am i being too cynical here?
