#101: The Homogenizing Effect of Trade Literature: Buggins' Turn

  • Résumé

  • The Cru discuss the benefits and pitfalls of novel-writing guides like Save the Cat and other such guidebooks. Stories begin around the 30 minute mark and include a story of a letter; the dark side of the Buggins' Turn; and an inauguration.
    From Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable:
    Buggins' turn. The principle of awarding promo- tion by rotation rather than on individual merit. Buggins is a supposedly common surname, but there were only two in the 1980 London tele- phone directory. The name itself is familiar in another context from 'Grandma Buggins', a tiresome old lady played by Mabel Constan- duros in a radio series that ran from 1925 to the late 1940s.
