| Re: Mundane?
I didn't thoroughly read the whole thread, (I need to get to work soon) but mundane merely means grounded or Earth bound. I think the reference is to the setting rather than the quality of the work. It doesn't so much mean ordinary as it means taking place or existing in an ordinary setting. On one hand the meaning is quite accurate and I've really enjoyed certain mundane works of Science Fiction. On the other hand the word has developed such a bad connotation in recent years mundane Science Fiction would never sell. |
