Motivation Info Dump

Scores of authors who write furry stories throw generous amounts of motivational information into the narrative, in ways that don't flow naturally with the text. It seems to happen the most at the beginning of stories, in the middle of a romantic scene, or during a climactic battle. Rather than establishing motives through actions and internal dialog (showing), the author just tells us what the character is like, and why they suddenly decided to strangle that baby. Nine times out of ten, if you removed this waste of verbage from the story, the entire plot would collapse due to lack of character development.
