Beige Prose is lack of description. In poorly written fanfiction, locations, people, and objects tend to be either overdescribed, described very poorly, or not described at all. These poor-description effects do not extend to bit characters and crowds in fanfiction, where the canon tends to support and flesh out characters that remain undescribed in the story. However, when introducing new characters or locations, a through description is expected.

  • In badfic, locations, people, and objects tend to be either overdescribed, described very poorly, or not described at all. Beige prose is woefully insufficient description. In goodfic and canon worlds untainted by horrible writing, the canon tends to support and flesh out people, places, and things that remain undescribed in the Words. Since they exist in a 3D world that runs on logic and good characterization, they by extension must have 3D features, too.

  • In badfic, locations, people, and objects tend to be either overdescribed, described very poorly, or not described at all. Beige prose is woefully insufficient description. In goodfic and canon worlds untainted by horrible writing, the canon tends to support and flesh out people, places, and things that remain undescribed in the Words. Since they exist in a 3D world that runs on logic and good characterization, they by extension must have 3D features, too. When the canon is pulled out of shape by bad writing, however, the continuum cannot handle metaphorical and undescribed objects, locations, or characters nearly as well, and defaults to interpreting them literally. In very rare cases, it is possible for the prose to be so lacking in description it tints the canon in sepia tones. This problem usually fixes itself as everything returns to how it was in canon, however, so it is not a major concern.
