Real Life / Re: The REAL thread

That's a very important detail that a lot of people seem to forget.
Real life isn't exciting, sexy or usually surprising. Nearly all of the time, life is predictable and boring even when it feels like it shouldn't be. This is why a lot of stories fall flat, in my opinion. Unless a story is outright stated to be fantasy-rules stuff, 'coincidences' and rapid-character turns shouldn't exist.
