Writing Meme: Questions 7 & 8
Sep. 16th, 2021 07:12 pm7. What do you think are the characteristics of your personal writing style? Would others agree?
Because I write in a lot of literature-based fandom, I'm trying to approach the style of the original author (Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, P. G. Wodehouse, Agatha Christie, etc.) and even for the TV/film fandoms I am trying to make the dialogue in-character [regardless of the AU]. Whether I succeed or not is up to the reader :)
I am a poet by nature so there is the poetic language and sometimes even poetry itself.
Lately, I feel as if I spend a lot of time describing characters turning their heads and looking at something else. And chuckling. So much chuckling!
I will let my long time readership weigh in any other features of interest in my personal writing style :)
8. Is what you like to write the same as what you like to read?
No, my writing is much more varied than my reading. I read my friends' fic in many (but not all) of their fandoms and I read Joe/Nicky fic in The Old Guard and (very recently) I am reading Suga/Jimin fic in BTS fandom. On rare occasion, I read a very, very small subset of authors in fandoms I don't write (Teen Wolf, Harry Potter, Hannibal) because they write really filthy smut in a few, shall we say, 'fringe' kinks.
But I write in a lot of fandoms. Over a hundred. Mystery/detective fiction fandoms, mostly.
( The entire list )
