I find it difficult to tell the difference at times.

Genius is the art of getting people to believe in the sheerly ridiculous, or, on the other hand, to enjoy the bravura style and audacity of presenting the sheerly ridiculous.
The difference is the difference between a successful fiction and a failed one.

Sometimes an author skirts that line, and it's up to each reader to determine whether he or she has crossed the line between genius and ridiculousness. I hate it when the spell is broken and the writer has gone too far. The great ones know where the line is and stay clear of it, more often than the rest of the pack, anyway.

i think it all depends in how entertaining the history is . don't forget than fiction is nothing but fiction , so there is not a line to tell how far can u go . so if your a writer or want to be do not think about a line but about a history which might be entertaining to read .

With genius the sparkling never fades, with ordinary people, there's only one step to being ridiculous.

When even the author no longer understands, then it's gone too far.

It's just a matter of perception.
