When she says "formulaic" this is not an exaggeration of the genre. Romance novel publishers take *applications*, not manuscripts, and authors are handed a plot for them to fill in the blanks. It's not about quality in romance publishing; it's about volume.
What the fuck, Joyce. I don’t even read romance novels but this kind of thinking pisses me the fuck off. It further pushes that mentality that some books as “lesser” which is bullshit! All books count!

Botanist Francis Boott (1792-1863) spent most of his time towards the end of his life on detailed study of the genus Carex, or sedges. The manuscripts of this project, which was produced at his own expense, are fantastic in detail. #KewLA

To say nothing of manuscripts referring to full figures without mentioning the individual panels that are relevant at a given point. I mean, I then go ahead and try and work out what the whole figure means, only to then have the manuscript talk about it in detail paragraphs later. Why?

I know nobody likes a Bsky rant, but here goes. There's a recent stream of manuscripts I'm reviewing that seem to randomly refer to figure panels. It makes it so difficult to follow a paper. One constantly thinks, did I miss something? What do all the intervening panels show? Please do not do this!
