Tier I: The Analytical
1. States an obvious conclusion or implication that the text unaccountably fails to follow up on
2. Explores events concurrent with but not present in the textual narrative
3. Renders the story more coherent or structurally sound
Tier II: The Personal
4. Makes a character or situation more relatable to me
5. Increases the text’s entertainment value
6. Is my fetish
Tier III: The Metatextual
7. Exists as a pretext for the intellectual exercise of seeing how much textual support I can find for something patently absurd
8. Less an elaboration upon the text and more a critical response to the text
9. Adopted specifically to spite the text’s author; fight me, Joanne
Tier IV: The Pernicious
10. Hey, you know what would be really fucked up?
